Wolcen Studio Dives Deep In Its Behind-The-Scenes Interview Feature For Upcoming Dark Fantasy ExtrAction RPG Project Pantheon
Wolcen Studio today released an in-depth interview feature video titled, What is Project Pantheon, offering a comprehensive look into their highly-anticipated top-down ExtrAction RPG, Project Pantheon. The video features key development team members - Narrative Director, Adam Dowden, Game Director, Andrei Chirculete, and Art Director, Elliot Bocxtaele - who dive into the game’s unique concept, its dark fantasy universe where all mythology is real, and what sets it apart in today’s gaming landscape.
