A full remaster of the original FATE series? Yes, please! And it’s all coming to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
Alrighty. What’s included in this remaster collection? Everything from the first FATE game to its sequels: Undiscovered Realms, The Traitor Soul, and The Cursed King. And the surprises don’t end here. For the first time ever, the FATE series will have full controller support on PC!
The team at gamigo (you might know them as WildTangent) is working on the remake alongside the people from Tableflip Entertainment. And in case you didn’t notice, I’m sooo excited to revisit the quaint town of Grove and beyond, conquer procedurally generated dungeons, master powerful spells, and enjoy the endless fishing minigame content. Ok… maybe not the endless fishing part.
FATE is celebrated and recognized as one of the early pioneers of the action RPG (ARPG) genre and a notable precursor to games like Torchlight. And it has everything you’d expect from an ARPG precursor: you set out on an epic adventure, battle vicious monsters, collect a bunch of weapons and loot, and learn magical spells in your quest for glory and fame. In fact, many players remember FATE as their first dungeon crawler. Are you one of them? Then you’ll be happy to hear this remaster will keep all the original mechanics and features. We’ll simply see the games with a fresh and polished look. Some devs do understand that “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it”, huh?
Here are the key features that you can expect:
A Fresh Coat of Paint: This four-in-one bundle also brings a complete graphical update for all assets and refined and updated UI. Dramatically improved lighting and particle effects will bring the darkest depths of FATE’s dungeons to life.
Tons of New Content: Fans of old (and fans of new!) can enjoy new badges, emoticons, and profile backgrounds for the Steam-specific release, as well as a slew of new achievements across all platforms. The series will also be available in a few new languages. We’ll have Spanish, German, French, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese language support across all games for the very first time.
Procedurally Generated Levels: You’ll explore limitless caverns, dungeons, mines, and tunnels, all dynamically generated. What will your adventures uncover?
In This Economy?: Buy and sell goods and enchant your equipment.
Cute and Cuddly: Choose from seven different pet types and transform them into more and more powerful creatures.
