ROUNDUP
FATEKEEPER
Developer Paraglacial Publisher THQ Nordic Format PC Origin Germany Release 2026
One of the surprises in THQ Nordic’s August Digital Showcase was this fantasy RPG from new studio Paraglacial. The announcement trailer focuses on firstperson melee combat in an assortment of ruins and dungeons, suggesting a more isolating experience than a Skyrim or Avowed. There’s also an emphasis on physics-based reactions, as undead warriors flinch and buckle under deliberate sword strikes, or ragdoll as you throw them around with magic powers. Some grim execution animations look much more rehearsed, but still feel part of an effort to make everything seem that bit more alive before you render it dead.
