Join the Wolcen Studio Playtest Program

Greetings Reapers, 
[p][/p][p]We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new initiative, the Wolcen Studio Playtest Program, a studio-wide commitment to community-driven development for our existing and future projects. And we’re excited to welcome you![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]What is the Wolcen Studio Playtest Program?[/h2][p][/p][p]This studio-wide initiative gives selected players access to exclusive playtests for our current and future projects* including Gods, Death & Reapers. By answering a short questionnaire on FirstLook, our playtest registration platform, you will be considered for the upcoming GDR Closed Alpha, testing the new versions of it and, in some cases, selected to dive into our games ahead of other players.[/p][p][/p][h3]I've been invited to Gods, Death & Reapers Closed Alpha before. Do I need to sign up via FirstLook again?[/h3][p][/p][p]If you were previously invited to a Closed Alpha of Gods, Death & Reapers, you will keep your access to all upcoming regular playtests. If you want a chance to join our playtests earlier or even explore upcoming games, simply fill out the FirstLook questionnaire and accept the NDA, if you haven’t done so yet.[/p][p][/p][h3]I signed up before via FirstLook and filled out the questionnaire. Do I need to fill out the questionnaire again?[/h3][p][/p][p]Your questionnaire answers remain valid. If you're selected for an exclusive playtest, you will be asked once more to visit your FirstLook profile, complete the onboarding and accept the updated NDA.[/p][p][/p][h3]I signed up before but haven't filled out the questionnaire.[/h3][p][/p][p]Please head to https://playtest.wolcenstudio.com to fill out the questionnaire. If selected, we will invite you to complete the onboarding. We will notify you if you have been selected to join the Wolcen Studio Playtest Program. And there is no need to register again until then.[/p][p][/p][h3]How is this different to Gods, Death & Reapers’ regular Closed Alphas?[/h3][p][/p][p]With this program, we’re launching exclusive playtests for our current and future projects still in development, which will allow you to explore them ahead of other players. To be considered for this, we’re asking you to answer three short questions and accept our NDA. Further instructions for each exclusive playtest will be provided to selected players. 
[/p][p]By joining this program, you’ll help us shape our games through community-driven development. This goes beyond Gods, Death & Reapers and extends to future Wolcen Studio games.[/p][h2]

Community-Driven Artwork Results Are In!

Greetings Reapers, 
[p][/p][p]A while ago, we invited you to inspire us with your favorite gods, characters, stories and elements from Egyptian mythology as part of our next mythology exploration.[/p][p]And you delivered![/p][p]From detailed descriptions to original artwork, your ideas were powerful, haunting and incredibly aligned with the themes we love to explore. We can’t thank you enough.[/p][p]Today, we’re excited to share the concept artworks our team created based directly on your inspirations.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Gods Are Gone[/h2][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]The still-moving corpse of Anubis, wandering with his severed head. The gods are dead. The realms are in chaos.[/p][p]As a Reaper, you must unravel the mystery behind their fall and restore order.[/p][p][/p][h2]Apophis Devouring Ra’s Sun[/h2][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]From the remains of the Nile, twisted creatures emerge. The great serpent god Apophis stands petrified mid-devouring, forever frozen while attempting to swallow Ra’s sun.[/p][p][/p][h2]The Blood-Flooded Temple of Khnum[/h2][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]The mummified corpse of Khnum lies at the heart of his temple. From his body, blood pours endlessly, flooding sacred halls once devoted to creation.[/p][p]A divine sanctuary turned into a monument of decay.[/p][p][/p][h2]Hatmehyt: Source of Life[/h2][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]Hatmehyt, the River Fertility Goddess, reimagined as a catfish. Though dead, her body remains a source of life, spawning a grotesque oasis of corrupted plants and unnatural growth.[/p][p]Creation persists… even in death.[/p][p][/p][p]Please note that these concept artworks are works in progress. They are subject to change, refinement, or reinterpretation and may not appear in the game exactly as shown. This does not confirm Egyptian mythology as the next chapter in GDR, but one of the mythologies we’re actively exploring.
[/p][p]Thank you for helping us shape the realms of Gods, Death & Reapers.
[/p][p]And if you’re curious about what’s next, stay tuned! We have something exciting coming very soon.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Join our community and be a part of the development: [/p][p]discord.gg/wolcenstudio

Greetings Reapers, 
[p][/p][p]As you know, in Gods, Death & Reapers, all mythologies are real… and all gods are dead. [/p][p]With community-driven development at the heart of the game, we want to create something special together with you. [/p][p]We’re kicking off our very first community-driven artwork event and our theme is Egyptian mythology![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Create a New Artwork With Us![/h2][p][/p][p]We want your ideas and imagination to help inspire our next artwork.[/p][p][/p][h3]What to share:[/h3][p][/p][p]Describe anything you love about Egyptian mythology, such as:[/p]

  • [p]Significant characters [/p]
  • [p]Symbols, relics, hieroglyphs, temples [/p]
  • [p]Weapons, props, gears, creatures [/p]
  • [p]Story moments or visual elements that feel powerful[/p]
[p][/p][p]You can contribute through detailed texts, sketches, moodboards… anything goes. Please avoid using any AI work; we want your imagination![/p][p][/p][p]Here are some random scene descriptions to let your imagination run free:[/p]
  • [p]“Giant excavation site with lost Egyptian temples and creepy god statues” [/p]
