Fatekeeper is out now on Steam Early Access at £8.49, with an introductory price of £6.79, giving elder scrolls 6 watchers a cheaper first-person RPG to try while they wait. The current build is short, though: Paraglacial says it has around two hours of content.
Paraglacial’s £6.79 launch
£6.79 is the lowest entry point Paraglacial is using for Fatekeeper, and it sits below the game’s £8.49 early access price. That keeps the barrier to entry low for players who want a first-person action RPG without paying full price on day one, while the studio gathers feedback during development.
13 people are working on the game, which helps explain the small scale of the current build. Paraglacial says Early Access is a good option to get feedback early and adapt development plans accordingly, and the studio is treating the launch as part sale, part development test.
Two hours in early access
Around two hours of content is not a long runway for a paid release, and Fatekeeper makes that limitation explicit. The game is set in a handcrafted world, asks players to master the art of sword and sorcery, and uses reactive combat that requires players to adapt to enemy attacks, but those systems are being shown in a trimmed-down version for now.
The final version is planned to run about 15 hours, so the early access build is less a finished product than a sample of where the studio wants to land. That gives buyers a practical choice: pay the lower introductory price now for a short first look, or wait for a broader release later.
18 months to the full version
Around 18 months is Paraglacial’s target for the full version of Fatekeeper, and the studio says the price will rise as development progresses. Elder Scrolls fans who want something closer to that style have a clear near-term option here, but they are buying into an unfinished game with a narrow slice of its planned length.
For anyone deciding whether to jump in now, the calculation is straightforward: £6.79 buys the cheapest entry, the current build offers around two hours, and the finished game is expected to stretch to 15 hours. That is a fair trade only if the appeal is trying the systems early rather than waiting for the complete package.
