Paraglacial has announced that its new first-person RPG, Fatekeeper, will arrive in early access in 2026. The game integrates tactical choices with unique character progression and features an unexpected talking rat companion.
Gameplay and Mechanics
Fatekeeper combines combat and exploration, featuring Dark Messiah-like physics and a dodge ability for Souls-like engagement. Players can kick enemies off ledges and use traps creatively. Combat is designed for a balanced challenge.
The game promises varied character builds, allowing transformations into roles like a hammer-wielding brute or an alchemist. Each character starts with access to both magic and melee combat.
Development and Release
Fatekeeper draws inspiration from Hexen but emphasizes RPG elements over pure action. Paraglacial is capitalizing on this by crafting a storyline that encourages exploration and tactical gameplay.
The developer keeps the identity of the talking rat a secret, enhancing the game's quirky voice acting appeal. Fatekeeper's early access release is planned for 2026, aiming to engage players with its mixture of combat depth and narrative intrigue.
