The publisher THQ Nordic has showcased some new games, including Fatekeeper, a new role-playing game on Steam, developed by just 10 people.
What kind of game is Fatekeeper? Fatekeeper is a first-person RPG from the new development team at Paraglacial. According to THQ Nordic, the team consists of just 10 passionate developers taking on this ambitious project.
You play as a warrior exploring a world filled with ruins and catastrophic events, using medieval weapons and magic. You will be able to customize your playstyle with various relics, weapons, and spells, making decisions along a narrative that influences the outcome.
The announcement trailer impresses with a dark atmosphere and a mystical ancient narrative about curses, gods, and wars. Visually, it recalls a mix of popular Elder Scrolls games. Could this game fill the gap for fans eagerly awaiting Elder Scrolls 6?
The game is set to enter Early Access on Steam in winter 2025. It is currently unclear whether Fatekeeper will also be released for consoles.
Builds and Exploration in Focus
What will the game offer? Not much is currently known about the game aside from the trailer and some core features. According to the shop page on Steam, you can expect a handcrafted, exciting world full of secrets to explore.
You will follow a focused story where your decisions play a significant role. Exploring ancient battlefields, caves, ruins, and forests will be at the forefront. Various opponents with their unique strengths, weaknesses, and attack patterns will confront the player, requiring both good preparation and combat skills.
Builds will take a major focus in the gameplay, which you should be able to combine with various weapons, spells, relics, and a variety of different equipment. Together with different progression mechanics, you will be able to extensively customize the builds to suit your own playstyle.
Whether this will actually strike a similar chord as Elder Scrolls remains to be seen. Meanwhile, an old German game with its remaster on Steam is making headlines: Ancient strategy game with German flair releases as a remaster on Steam, is 90% positive after 2 weeks, delighting fans
