Coming off its smash indie hit Spiritfarer, Thunder Lotus Games is taking a
more action-heavy approach with its next title. The developer debuted At
Fate's End with an announcement trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase at
Summer Game Fest 2025, giving us a taste of its captivating visuals and
unique combat system.

While Spiritfarer offered a more slow-paced experience filled with charming
characters looking for a final peace, At Fate's End has a contrasting action-
packed style where you follow the story of Shan, a heiress to a clan that's
looking to resolve familial disputes by either fighting or talking it out.
The gameplay looks equal parts narrative fantasy and intriguing combat style,
since you can use tactical dialogue mid-fight or psychological insight about
your family to turn the tide of battle. As you progress through the story,
you'll face more of your estranged family members, and you advance your skill
tree in different ways depending on whether you defeat or reconcile with
them.

Thunder Lotus Games hasn't set a hard release date yet, but At Fate's End is
expected to release sometime in 2026. The upcoming title will be available on
Xbox, PlayStation, Steam and Epic Games.
