If dark fantasy, brutal melee combat, and cryptic puzzles are your jam—Fatekeeper just made a thunderous debut you don’t want to miss. The official gameplay trailer from developer Paraglacial gives us our first intense look at this first-person action RPG, and it looks like Skyrim and Dark Messiah had a wicked baby raised in a haunted cathedral.

Welcome to the World of Fatekeeper

Fatekeeper throws you headfirst into a brooding, mysterious world filled with ruined temples, twisted forests, and demonic threats around every corner. You’re not just swinging swords—you’re surviving nightmares, solving environmental puzzles, and navigating a dark storyline that seems just as heavy as the armor you’re wearing.

This isn’t your average hack-and-slash. The gameplay reveals a deep, visceral melee system with weighty weapon strikes, parries, and magical abilities that burn, freeze, or absolutely obliterate foes. And the environments? They look gorgeous—but in that gothic, “is something watching me?” kind of way.

What the Trailer Shows Off

The gameplay announcement trailer is packed with juicy details for RPG lovers:

  • First-person melee combat that’s crunchy, gory, and skill-based.
  • A haunting atmosphere, with cryptic lore scattered throughout ruins and dungeons.
  • Weapon variety, including blades, hammers, and mystical artifacts.
  • Puzzle-solving elements that break up the action and keep your brain engaged.
  • A taste of the dark, morally ambiguous story that unfolds as you fight your fate.

Coming Soon to Steam
