Thunder Lotus Games, renowned for its evocative titles such as Spiritfarer and 33 Immortals, has unveiled its latest project, At Fate’s End. This upcoming side-scrolling action adventure game invites players into a world of emotional depth, where they must confront their estranged siblings in what the developers describe as “intense, emotional duels.” Scheduled for release in 2026, the game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC through platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store, with an inclusion in Game Pass.
Creative director Nicolas Guerin shared insights about the game, stating, “With At Fate’s End, we’re taking everything we learned from Spiritfarer—that rich emotional core, that interplay of mechanics and narrative—and pushing it into thrilling new territory. This is a more intense, more action-driven game, but no less intimate. It’s about how families break apart—and how they might come back together.”
About
At Fate’s End is an action adventure game where you fight the ones you love. Wield the legendary God Sword Aesus as Shan, the deft young heiress of the Hemlock clan. Explore a lush, hand-crafted fantasy world. Defeat the foul creatures of the realm in combat. Solve intricate narrative puzzles, uncover painful truths, and hone both your blade skills and knowledge to face your estranged siblings in intense, emotional duels—and ultimately decide your family’s fate.
Set against a backdrop of familial strife, At Fate’s End casts players in the role of Shan, a spirited princess armed with the divine God Sword Aesus. To reclaim her birthright, Shan must engage in emotionally charged confrontations with her siblings, where battles unfold not just through swordplay but also through dialogue, psychological insight, and a deep understanding of their shared past. This title marks a significant creative evolution for Thunder Lotus; while Spiritfarer focused on farewells, At Fate’s End compels players to confront unresolved issues and strive for reconciliation amidst the chaos of a fractured family.
