Evaluation

Past Fate launched into Early Access on January 7, 2026, as an open-world MMORPG. Since then, Icy North Games has maintained a very consistent cadence of updates, including weekly patches in the early weeks and regular feature-rich patches throughout the year. The developer published a progress letter on March 15, 2026 outlining specific plans for Patch 0.6.1, which were subsequently delivered on April 20, 2026 (Patch 0.6.1.0), covering a reworked attribute and skill system, alchemy improvements, new quests, and world polish. Further updates followed on May 18 and May 26, 2026, adding character creation improvements and a fishing system overhaul. The major Patch 0.6.2.0 on June 25, 2026 opened a significant new underground area (Depths of Korag) with new enemies, quests, and content, alongside a full combat system rework. This was followed by Patch 0.6.2.1 on July 14, 2026 and Patch 0.6.2.2 on August 16, 2026, both continuing to expand and refine combat, quests, items, and world areas. The developer explicitly noted in the June 25 patch notes that improvements to ranged combat and magic systems are still being worked on, signaling ongoing development priorities. As of August 16, 2026 — the most recent communication — the game continues to receive regular, substantive updates with no indication that Early Access development is winding down.

Morsath, a pact between the Kingdom of Edaria, the Kingdom of Drosus and the Empire of Coria, control the central lands of Nendhir and lead the crusades against Valfalk.

But as the two factions wage war against each other, the dark powers are rising in the shadows.

In the south, the arrival of the Cult of Voxyx has awakened the ancient dark lords once again.

Far in the west, at the heart of the swamplands of Khordof, the mighty dragon Yddrad threatens to engulf the world in flames.

It is up to you as a mercenary to chooce your own fate. Help your faction to conquer new lands and together you will face the shadows that the night brings.
