The ARPG game Extraction Gods, Death, & Reapers reveals details of its Closed Alpha phase coming this November.
Wolcen Studio has just revealed details about the Closed Alpha 4 test for their new game, Gods, Death & Reapers. This information was announced after the game impressed at the recent Gamescom Asia x Thailand Game Show 2025. The gates of death open . Currently in development for PC, Gods, Death, & Reapers is a free-to-play action RPG in the "Extraction" genre. The game immerses players in a chaotic world, where bloody hack-and-slash gameplay and risky "Extraction" mechanics await. You will embody a 'Reaper', undertaking missions under the command of Death itself, venturing into mythical worlds to quell the chaos left behind by the gods.
Sanctuary is your secret base, where Reapers prepare before venturing into deadly battles. Each battle is a risky gamble: you must overcome dangerous enemies, survive fierce PvPvE battles , and bring back loot. However, the price is extremely high: if you fall, you lose everything you're carrying. Rewards only go to those who successfully perform "Extraction," and those items are tradable with other players. Game Features
