FATEKEEPER New Gameplay Reveal | ACTION RPG Dark Messiah Successor to Challenge Skyrim in 2026

Check out this new gameplay reveal from the upcoming Fatekeeper developed by a team of 12 developers in Unreal Engine 5. This work in progress demo footage has been edited by us and provided by THQ Nordic. This game is an upcoming visually impressive first person action fantasy RPG with deep character progression, but its true hook is the visceral and tactical melee-and-magic combat that makes it feel like a spiritual successor to cult classics like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Its first-person fantasy setting, exploration, and blend of sword and sorcery are reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls Skyrim, but it distinguishes itself by featuring a more focused, non-open-world design and more impactful, challenging combat. Finally, its emphasis on learning enemy patterns and employing dedicated dodges gives the combat a strategic depth that has drawn comparisons to Soulslike games and the upcoming Valor Mortis and Witchfire.

Description:

Fatekeeper that puts you in the role of a Druid, a member of an ancient order tasked with enforcing balance and restoring order to a world fractured by conflict and cataclysms.

Gameplay Features:

World: A handcrafted world that, while following a focused narrative path, encourages exploration of ancient battlegrounds, vast caverns, and forgotten sanctuaries, rewarding curiosity with hidden lore and relics. It is not an open-world game like Skyrim, but features non-linear maps with multiple trajectories.

Combat: Features reactive melee combat and magic. Battles require skill and preparation against a variety of foes with distinct patterns. The system emphasizes meaningful tactical choices, allowing you to combine swordplay, precise spells, and even alchemical toxins.

Progression: Offers rich progression mechanics to build and refine your character. You can lean into raw strength, nimble precision, or devastating sorcery, with the system supporting a wide range of unique and viable builds by mixing disciplines and expanding your available moves.

Release Date:

Early Access coming to PC in 2026 https://store.steampowered.com/app/21...
