Evaluation

Hand of Fate: Hordes launched into Steam Early Access on July 22, 2026. The developer, Spitfire Interactive, has been consistently active and communicative since launch, publishing patches, devlogs, and a public roadmap. On July 31, 2026, the developer published a roadmap explicitly listing substantial unshipped content: a brand new hero, a new location, new adventures, new equipment, and a first pass on deckbuilding — described as "just the beginning," with even more planned beyond that. The August 26, 2026 devlog confirmed active work on these items, referencing a new location, a new hero, and deckbuilding as things the team is "hard at work on." The most recent major update, Update v0.1 "Loading and Loadout," shipped on September 9, 2026, adding a loadout system, autosaves, new enchantments, and blessings. The update post itself closes by stating the team is now turning attention back to their "first major content-focused update" featuring a new location and a new boss. A follow-up balance patch shipped September 18, 2026, confirming ongoing developer engagement. The only DLC currently listed is a day-one cosmetic Supporter Pack. All announced future content — new hero, new location, new boss, deckbuilding, new adventures — remains unshipped. Development is active, the team is communicating regularly, and there is a clear pipeline of content ahead.
