PC is Getting the Perfect Elder Scrolls Replacement on June 2

by

If you’re a PC gamer eagerly awaiting The Elder Scrolls 6, there’s a promising new RPG launching soon on Steam. Fatekeeper enters Steam Early Access on June 2nd and appears to offer everything fans of The Elder Scrolls desire in a role-playing game. Since The Elder Scrolls 6 is still years away, Fatekeeper could be the perfect game to play in the meantime.

The Elder Scrolls series is incredibly popular on computers, especially because fans can heavily modify games like Skyrim and Oblivion. However, it’s been a long wait for new official content since the announcement of The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018. While the release of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered last year offered some relief, a fresh game in the style of TES, like Fatekeeper, arrives at just the right moment while fans eagerly anticipate the next major installment.

New Elder Scrolls-Like RPG Fatekeeper Releases in Early Access on Steam June 2

Okay, so I’ve been checking out Fatekeeper, and it looks seriously cool. It’s a fantasy RPG where your choices really matter, shaping a unique story in a world that’s been built with a ton of detail. The developers, Paraglacial, and publisher THQ Nordic clearly took inspiration from games like The Elder Scrolls – it’s first-person, and you can be a spellcaster and a warrior. If you loved the magic system in Skyrim, you’ll probably dig this too, because it uses different schools of magic. Honestly, the combat feels pretty familiar, so it should be easy to pick up.

The new trailer for Fatekeeper highlights fast-paced, first-person combat running at a solid 60 frames per second. Although the trailer makes the game look action-packed and empowering, the actual gameplay appears quite challenging. The game’s Steam page describes a need to study enemy attacks, master quick, responsive melee fighting, and constantly adjust tactics. This makes Fatekeeper sound less like The Elder Scrolls and more reminiscent of the difficult combat found in Dark Souls.

Though Fatekeeper has a straightforward story, its world is open and full of things to discover. Like many action RPGs, the game rewards exploration with valuable loot that lets you customize your character’s abilities. It also boasts a complex skill system, similar to Path of Exile 2, which will especially appeal to players who enjoy detailed character customization.

Considering that Fatekeeper is being created by a small team of just 13 people, the amount of content already available is quite remarkable. Paraglacial hasn’t said exactly how much of the game will be playable when Early Access begins on June 2nd, but it will focus on showing off the game’s graphics and main gameplay mechanics during the first few hours of the story. The complete version of Fatekeeper, version 1.0, is expected to launch around the end of 2027, about 18 months after the Early Access release. With rumors suggesting The Elder Scrolls 6 won’t be out until 2028 or 2029, Fatekeeper should provide players with a substantial experience to enjoy in the meantime.
