Fatekeeper Early Access Passes 500,000 Copies on Steam
A 13-person studio's unfinished, Japanese-unsupported Early Access build moving half a million copies points to demand that outran the release plan, which puts pressure on the Japanese-language version and the full launch.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
THQ Nordic Japan announced on October 22 that the Steam Early Access version of Fatekeeper has surpassed 500,000 copies sold. The first-person dark fantasy RPG is developed by Paraglacial, a studio of 13 developers. It combines melee offense and defense with magic, plus character builds and equipment collection. The Early Access version does not support Japanese. THQ Nordic thanked players and everyone who sent feedback.
The milestone arrives while the game is still in Early Access and still without Japanese language support. Paraglacial built the game with 13 developers, and THQ Nordic is publishing.
The game drops players into a world struck by a great calamity, with ancient battlefields, underground caves, deep forests, and forgotten sanctuaries to explore. Combat mixes melee weapon offense and defense with magic, and builds shift widely depending on equipment, abilities, and magic choices.
