Just before the very close of 2025, Spitfire Interactive and Spicy Koala managed to sneak in one final game announcement. It turns out they are returning to the Hand of Fate universe once more with Hordes of Fate, a new deckbuilding autoshooter.
According to the game’s Steam page, the game will allow players to unlock characters from the Hand of Fate universe. Each of these come with their own auto-shooting weapons and perk cards that add to the deckbuilding possibilities of each run.
Players can uncover new and reimagined encounters and equipment, visit new locations and play as familiar heroes from across the Hand of Fate universe, all from a top down auto-shooter perspective.
Hordes of Fate is planned to arrive in Steam Early Access in 2026 and will arrive on PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series at an unconfirmed date. There’s even a demo that you can check out now!
You can check out the reveal trailer for Hordes of Fate below:
