Spiritfarer developer Thunder Lotus Games announced its next project during the Xbox Games Showcase Sunday, At Fate’s End. It’s an action-adventure game where you’ll fight family via emotional sword-fighting and dialogue duels. At Fate’s End 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.
In At Fate’s End you’ll play as princess Shan, who wields the God Sword Aesus (which already sounds like a very cool sword). She’ll fight her siblings in duels “where combat is waged not only through swordplay, but through dialogue, psychological insight, and hard-won knowledge of shared history,” according to the press release revealing the game. It’ll feature various endings, meaning your family’s future sinks or swims depending on your choices.
Creative Director Nicolas Guérin said the developer is pushing everything it learned from crafting Spiritfarer further. “This is a more intense, more action-driven game, but no less intimate. It’s about how families break apart — and how they might come back together.”
Thunder Lotus Games is perhaps best known for its 2020 management sim Spiritfarer, which cast players as Stella, whose job it is to help spirits find comfort while guiding them toward the afterlife. Thunder Lotus’ previous titles also include Jotun and Sundered, and it launched 33 Immortals into early access earlier in March 2025.
