Greetings Mercenaries!

We want to share an important update regarding the Early Access release of Past Fate.

After taking a look at the December release schedules and evaluating what will give Past Fate and our players the best possible start, we have made the decision to move the Early Access launch to January 7th, 2026.

This change ensures that Past Fate can launch with the visibility, stability, and performance it deserves. December has become an extremely crowded month, and launching just before major releases and the Steam Winter Sale would limit the attention and momentum that Early Access titles rely on. By shifting to early January, we can give Past Fate cleaner, uninterrupted release window and some extra development time for further polishing.

We know many of you were excited for the December Early Access release time, and we truly appreciate your patience and support. This short delay will allow us to deliver a smoother and stronger experience and it will set the stage for much healthier Early Access cycle. It was a hard decision, but it feels like the correct one.

Again we would like to apologize for the delay and we would like to thank you all for understanding

We’re incredibly excited for you to begin your journey in Past Fate on January 7th, 2026.

Also because of the Early Access delay we have decided to host 7 days open alpha test starting December 9th.
