<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Spiritfarer<\/a><\/em> developer Thunder Lotus Games announced its next project during the Xbox Games Showcase Sunday, At Fate\u2019s End<\/em>. It\u2019s an action-adventure game where you\u2019ll fight family via emotional sword-fighting and dialogue duels. At Fate\u2019s End<\/em> is due out sometime in 2026 for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Game Pass. Notably, neither the Nintendo Switch or the Switch 2 were listed as platforms, though that may change in the future.<\/p>\n

In At Fate\u2019s End<\/em> you\u2019ll play as princess Shan, who wields the God Sword Aesus (which already sounds like a very cool sword<\/a>). She\u2019ll fight her siblings in duels \u201cwhere combat is waged not only through swordplay, but through dialogue, psychological insight, and hard-won knowledge of shared history,\u201d according to the press release revealing the game. It\u2019ll feature various endings, meaning your family\u2019s future sinks or swims depending on your choices.<\/p>\n

Creative Director Nicolas Gu\u00e9rin said the developer is pushing everything it learned from crafting Spiritfarer<\/em> further. \u201cThis is a more intense, more action-driven game, but no less intimate. It\u2019s about how families break apart \u2014 and how they might come back together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thunder Lotus Games is perhaps best known for its 2020 management sim Spiritfarer<\/a><\/em>, which cast players as Stella, whose job it is to help spirits find comfort while guiding them toward the afterlife. Thunder Lotus\u2019 previous titles also include Jotun<\/em> and Sundered<\/em>, and it launched 33 Immortals<\/em> into early access earlier in March 2025.<\/p>\n
