Thunder Junction Games previously developed 2020’s Spiritfarer, a cozy adventure simulation game focusing on spirits, unresolved grief, and the need to let go. It seems that At Fate’s End looks to ratchet tonally into something more visceral and violently immediate, which is eye-catching to say the least. This might be an indie gem to keep an eye on as the months pass. You can rest assured we here at RPGFan will do so!

At Fate’s End is set to release sometime in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch.
