Fatekeeper is a new fantasy RPG for PC with impressive-looking visuals and strong Dark Messiah vibes, coming to Early Access. While many of the titles covered in this year’s THQ Nordic Showcase had previously been revealed in past events, Fatekeeper stands out as something new and just a little more unique among the fantasy RPG genre. The new title is being developed by Paraglacial and published by THQ Nordic, and although no location is given in its description, it seems to have ancient Mediterranean/Eastern Asian themes mixed with other medieval elements. Folks online are also quick to point out that it seems to have gameplay stylings of Dark Messiah and Skyrim combined. The announcement trailer has already racked up nearly 45,000 views with almost 3,000 likes and is definitely getting attention from the gaming community.
Game Features (per official site):
- A Handcrafted World
While Fatekeeper follows a focused narrative path, the world invites exploration. From ancient battlegrounds, vast underground caverns and serene forests to crumbling sanctuaries forgotten by time, each area rewards curiosity with hidden lore, forgotten relics, and unexpected encounters. - Melee & Magic
Battle a wide variety of foes, each with distinct patterns, strengths, and weaknesses. Success demands both skill and preparation. Engage in reactive melee combat, unleash spells with precision, and adapt your tactics on the fly. Your build matters—but so does how you wield it. - Progression
Fatekeeper offers rich progression mechanics that go far beyond surface-level stats. Build and refine your character with meaningful choices across combat styles, attributes, and spell schools. Whether you lean into raw strength, nimble precision, or devastating sorcery, the game supports a wide range of viable and unique builds. - Armor & Weapons
Discover, loot, and master a wide variety of weapons, armor, and artifacts. Customize your loadout to suit your playstyle, and experiment with powerful combinations to overcome increasingly challenging enemies. Every item matters—and the right gear can be the difference between victory and ruin.
