BRISBANE, Australia – Dec. 17, 2025 – Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure, the grimdark deckbuilding auto-shooter and next installment in the Hand of Fate franchise enjoyed by millions, will launch into Early Access on PC via Steam and Linux in Q2 2026. Additionally, console editions are in the cards for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S launching in 2026.
The original creators of the series, now at Spitfire Interactive, return to the critically acclaimed and fan-favorite Hand of Fate series nearly ten years after establishing the roguelike deckbuilding genre. Spicy Koala, the PC publishing arm of Yodo1, partners with Spitfire Interactive to elevate Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure by providing the resources needed to deliver a trailblazing experience once again.
“Hands of Fate is a foundational series that paved the way for talented developers who have continued to iterate on roguelike deckbuilders,” Morgan Jaffit, Director, Spitfire Interactive. “We look forward to continuing our spirit of innovation, improving upon the auto-shooter genre, integrating deckbuilding mechanics in new and exciting ways, while delivering a quintessential Hand of Fate experience that millions love.”
It wouldn’t be Hand of Fate without the enigmatic voice of the Dealer, equal parts narrator, dungeon master, and villain. Storied actor Anthony Skordi reprises the role, drawing on years of experience from roles in Star Wars Battlefront II, Mafia: The Old Country, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Mass Effect 3, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Defy fate as one of four iconic characters, using their distinct skill-sets to confront hordes upon hordes of relentless monsters. Engage in action-packed combat and grasp the reins of fate by wisely selecting from a series of equipment and ability cards offered mid-run. Grow to unimaginable levels of strength by cleverly stacking synergistic upgrades, and unlock surprising, branching encounters throughout each battle, all narrated by the infamous Dealer.
Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure will launch on PC via Steam and Linux in Q2 2026, and later on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S, with both English and Chinese voiceover. The language support includes English, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese.
