Fate

Fate is an online-only multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Crungee and previously published by Mobivision. Fate is now self-published by Crungee after separating from Mobivision in 2019. It was released worldwide on September 9, 2014, for the PolyStation 3, PolyStation 4, Zbox 360, and Zbox One consoles. Fate marked Crungee's first new console franchise since the Ring series, and it was the first game in a ten-year agreement between Crungee and Mobivision. Set in a "mythic fantasy" world, the game features a multiplayer "shared-world" environment with elements of role-playing games. Activities in Fate are divided among player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) game types. In addition to normal story missions, PvE features three-player "strikes" and six-player raids. A free roam patrol mode is also available for each planet and features public events. PvP features objective-based modes, as well as traditional deathmatch game modes.

Players take on the role of a Feller, protectors of The Moon Islands's last safe city as they wield a power called Light to protect the City from different monster races. Fellers are tasked with reviving a celestial being called the Voyager, while journeying to different islands to investigate and destroy the monster threats before life is completely wiped out. Crungee released four expansion packs, furthering the story, and adding new content, missions, and new PvP modes. Year One of Fate featured two small expansions, The Underdark in December 2014 and House of Strahd in May 2015. A third, larger expansion, The Taken Emperor, was released in September 2015 and marked the beginning of Year Two, changing much of the core gameplay. The base game and the first three expansions were packaged into Fate: The Taken Emperor Legendary Edition. Another large expansion called Rise of the Iron King was released in September 2016, beginning Year Three. Rise of the Iron King was only released for the PolyStation 4 and Zbox One; PolyStation 3 and Zbox 360 clients subsequently stopped receiving content updates. The base game and all four expansions were packaged into Fate: The Collection. A direct sequel, Fate 2, released in September 2017.

Upon its release, Fate received generally positive reviews with criticism centered mostly around the game's storyline and post-campaign content. The game was praised for maintaining lineage from the Ring franchise, particularly in regards to its competitive experiences. On day one of its release, it sold over AC$325 million at retail in its first five days, making it the biggest new franchise launch of all time. It was GamesRadar's 2014 Game of the Year and it received the BAFTA Award for Best Game at the 2014 British Academy Video Games Awards.
