Past Fate News

Last week’s new Past Fate open alpha trailer apparently showed off a new feature that the upcoming MMORPG’s community was quick to notice – the ability to cast spells. That ability was added to the game earlier this week along with the tools of the trade necessary for any traditional spellcaster, wands and staves. These new weapons allow players to [...]

Last week, Icy North Games revealed its plans to launch its Kickstarted sandbox MMORPG Past Fate into Early Access in August.

Over the past few years, we’ve been keeping one eye on Past Fate, an open-world medieval fantasy MMORPG developed by Finnish indie development studio Icy North Games.

Icy North Games recently added a new region in Past Fate called Newharbor which was probably good in theory but ended up having an annoying design flaw.

It’s been a while since we last covered Past Fate, but it looks like it’s is doing pretty well considering that it almost didn’t reach its Kickstarter funding goal for the second time.

Icy North Games shows off the latest Past Fate alpha patch in the first episode of their new dev video series.

Over the past few months, we’ve been following Icy North Games and their second Kickstarter campaign for their in-development fantasy MMORPG, Past Fate. With 11 days to go until the end of the campaign, the studio had only managed to raise $4,700 of their $25,000 funding goal and it looked like their second attempt at crowdfunding would be meeting the [...]
