Viewers of the BTS feature will gain additional information on Project Pantheon’s immersive, innovative genre and the role of “dead gods” as explorable landmarks and the vivid and vibrant artwork that brings this macabre world to life. Take a look at our hands-on preview of the first Project Pantheon playtest, and check out the interview below:
Project Pantheon is a universe where all mythology is real and players are recruited by Death himself to tidy a harrowing and nightmarish world. Project Pantheon blends a competitive extraction game with a top-down action RPG. The game is centered within a dark fantasy universe with a visceral and terrifying nature, inviting players to discover its hidden mysteries as they explore.
Essential landmarks on the map are depicted as large deities or “dead gods”, offering unique stories and incentives to explore certain areas to the player. Every match guarantees an intense and fruitful experience that incites a feeling of satisfaction upon victorious extraction.
From Drakkars stuck in ice to ancient Greek temples and pyramids, Project Pantheon features very unique scenery and focuses wholly on visuals that were yet to be explored.
This BTS interview highlights the game’s dark fantasy, mythological and innovative lore and gameplay mechanics. The player’s place in a world ruled by Death, the origins of the idea itself for the game and the thrilling unpredictability of each match are all explained in the video.
