| Hordes of Fate - Demo is now LIVE! | 2025-05-22 | The demo for our new title Hordes of Fate is now live! Venture once more into the world of Hand of Fate. We’ve just released a demo of the project the team at Spitfire Interactive are working on (a collection of Defiant alumni who’ve been working on their own since Defiant ceased developing) - a new approach to combining deckbuilding with action that we’re excited for you to get your hands on! Hordes of Fate drops you once more into a world of memory, mythology, and mayhem. Bullet Heaven / Autoshooter gameplay combines with the ability to stack your deck, choose your encounters, and control your destiny. This is only the beginning of the jour |
| A new title in the world of Hand of Fate! | 2025-03-05 | We’re excited to reveal our latest project, Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure, which blends Hand of Fate’s deckbuilding cards to life universe with a frenetic auto-shooter. Choose your hero, your weapons and encounter cards, and embark on a series of escalating challenges against hordes of foes to help restore the Dealer’s dominion over his court, one card at a time. We’re thrilled to be returning to the world of Hand of Fate and expanding on this setting once again when Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure launches later in 2025.

Until we’d finished building it we didn’t really know what it was, or if anyone would care. It’s impossible to think about the release of Hand of Fate without thinking about the circumstances that prevailed a de |
