We haven’t heard a great deal about it since it was initially revealed, but Hand of Fate 2’s release date has just been announced. It will land on PS4, Xbox One, and PC at the same time on Nov. 7, 2017.
Hand of Fate 2’s release will also coincide with the release of the Xbox One X and will take advantage of the new console by supporting 4K HD at launch.
Costing $29.99/€24.99, Hand of Fate 2 looks like a faithful follow-up to its cult favourite predecessor. A unique blend of card collecting and brawling, the sequel will see you working with The Dealer, the game’s magical antagonist, to topple a tyrant inspired by the hero from the original game. Here’s a snippet of the synopsis followed by a trailer:
“Hand of Fate 2 once again challenges players to overcome trials built from collectible cards, handed out by the Dealer. Each card will test players with hack-and-slash combat, dangerous locales to explore, tense minigames, or Dungeons & Dragons-style decisions. A new map-based overworld allows players to discover and unlock those challenges in entirely new ways.”
“The sequel also introduces a variety of new features, including weapon types and associated fighting styles, cards that can provide a powerful boost, different victory conditions for combat and the dealer’s card game, as well as all-new bosses, enemy types, and storylines.
“The Dealer, Hand of Fate’s magical antagonist, returns seeking vengeance following his defeat in the first title. Under the destructive influence of Hand of Fate’s original hero, a xenophobic tyrant has crowned himself emperor, banned all magic and exiled the non-human races. Hand of Fate 2’s new hero must master the Game of Life and Death to exact the Dealer’s revenge and topple the oppressive empire.”
