Gods, Death & Reapers Roadmap: New Arenas, Party System

Wolcen Studio has shared an updated roadmap for its PvPvE extraction RPG Gods, Death & Reapers, outlining what players can expect in upcoming closed alpha playtests and what the studio is aiming to deliver when early access begins. The game previously ran a fifth closed alpha last May, and while that test has already wrapped, new systems, map content, and combat additions are now planned for the next rounds.

Key takeaways

The next closed alpha plans include new party features plus friend management tools.
Combat content is expanding with 2v2 and 3v3 arena modes.
New locations and enemies are on the way, including an Asgard map and a faction called the Chosen.
A new weapon type is planned: twin axes.
Early access is expected to add PvE endgame, female player characters, controller support, and multiple new maps and mythologies.

What’s coming in the next closed alpha

For upcoming closed alpha playtests, Wolcen Studio is targeting several major multiplayer and gameplay additions. The roadmap lists a party system along with friend management, designed to improve how players coordinate during PvPvE extraction runs.

It also calls out competitive arena content, with plans for dedicated 2v2 and 3v3 arenas. On the world-building side, the studio is preparing a new Asgard map and introducing a new enemy faction named the Chosen. Weapon variety is set to grow as well, with a new twin-axes weapon slated for inclusion.

Early access goals

While the roadmap does not include specific dates, the studio’s early access targets are more expansive. Wolcen Studio says early access plans will include PvE endgame content, female player characters, and controller support.

Beyond those core features, it also lists “several” new maps and mythologies as part of the early access offering. The studio indicated that announcements for both testing and early access are intended to arrive soon, and it encouraged players to sign up for future tests if they have not already.
