Hey - exciting news, and we wanted you to be the first to hear it, straight from us, like always.

Scopely, the leading mobile games company behind hits like MONOPOLY GO! and Pokémon GO, has made an investment in Fateless.

Not an acquisition. Not a takeover. Fateless is still Fateless - same founders, same team, same people up at 1am answering your questions in this very server. What this actually is: an investment in what you all have already built with us.

Why we're saying it like that
Because it's true. Scopely didn't invest in a pitch deck or a spreadsheet. They invested in us and in this community - the 50,000+ of you in this Discord who showed up for a game that doesn’t exist yet, who put your own money behind us when nobody else would, who've been testing, breaking, and rebuilding Godforge with us in real time. That's what they saw. That's what convinced them. Not the market opportunity slide. You.

Why Scopely
We talked to a lot of companies. Most of them talked about numbers. Scopely talked about players.

They've spent years building and running some of the biggest live-service games in mobile – games with communities that have stuck around for years. That's the hard part. Anyone can launch a game. Very few know how to keep one alive, growing, and worth coming back to for years after. That's exactly the kind of long-term partner we wanted, because Godforge was never meant to be a quick hit. It's meant to be something we’re still playing years from now.

And just as important: they get that the community is the game, not a marketing channel bolted on after. That's rare, and it mattered to us more than anything else on the table.

What this means for us
More resources. More time. More room to build Godforge the way we've always wanted to, without cutting corners. That's it. That's the upgrade.
What doesn't change

• The vision. The creative direction. Godforge is still our call, and the game we've built with you is still the game we're making.
• Your feedback will always mean everything to us! Already you will see the sweeping improvements from Beta 1 to Beta 2 in the next play test. We’re pumped to get you back into the game and hear what you think!
• Us, being straight with you. That's not changing either.

Why we're telling you this at all
Simple, you've always gotten the truth from us first, whether it was good news, awkward news, or "hey, the beta's delayed and here's exactly why." That's not changing just because the news this time is bigger. You've earned hearing it directly from us, not finding it out some other way.

We've got more to share soon. For now, thank you for building this with us. This isn't the end of anything. It's just more runway to go further and build bigger, faster than we could on our own.

⚔️ Fair Play in Godforge Duels

This one should go without saying, but here we are.

Using bots, scripts, macros or any automation to play Godforge Duels is not allowed. The same goes for running multiple accounts to farm rewards, and for knowingly exploiting bugs instead of reporting them. You can have multiple accounts to play. You cannot, however, use multiple accounts to farm yourself or boost others.

Duels exists so you can test your decks against other players and help us shape the game. Botting undermines that for everyone: it skews the data we use for balance and it devalues the progress of people playing properly.
If we find accounts doing any of the above, we may remove their progress and rewards, including anything that would carry over to Beta 2, and remove access to future tests.

Found a bug or an exploit? Report it in the bug channel. That helps us, and we appreciate it.

Play fair, and good luck in the arena.

While I know you guys have missed the main YouTube video of the week, we hope you appreciate the updates to our systems we shared in the last podcast. Check out the 2nd half of the video if you missed it or head on over to #gameplay-discussion and see the new pins 📌

We're going to have to make you wait just a little bit longer to hear from Simon while we adjust our formatting and schedule for posting videos. To streamline the flow of data, address community reactions, and prevent timeline confusion, we've decided to swap when we post the podcast & main videos of the week.

New YouTube Video Schedule

- Thursdays: Main Video of the Week @ approximately 2pm-5pm UK
Note: Fridays will remain as when we record the podcast

Not to fear! Big updates and announcements are coming! Simon has a lot to share with you all in the coming weeks as we continue to implement more of our UI/UX changes, new weapon & campaign systems, a new summoning experience and more. Plus, a proper new MINIGAME to keep you busy before Beta 2. 👀

it’s my birthday so as a treat to all I wanted to share the update to Chernobog 3D character!

Hey all!

I need your help again!

Last year, you made a massive impact on this game in a way you probably underestimate — and that was just by taking part in an event we ran to gather feedback through heroes, the Hero Showdown. Since then, Godforge has progressed a lot, and with that, we need a new dataset to help us make some of these decisions, especially when it comes to getting ready to launch.

So I'd love it if you could take a bit of time out of your day to jump in and run through the Showdown.

Don't worry this time I put in an actual stopping point as I know "some people" (not naming names) went on for hours trying to find the end! 🤣

What it is
Each round shows you four hero portraits. Click the one that appeals to you most — that's it. It's not about the in-game character or the finished art, just the vibe: which looks, styles and colour schemes pull you in. Ten rounds a run, and you can run through it as many times as you want.

It'll be live for a couple of weeks, and the more time you spend on it, the more data we get to work with.

The only ask
Go with your gut, and only your gut. Don't vote for what you think we want to hear, what's trending in chat, or what someone else picked — there's no right answer, just whichever of the four appeals to you most.

Play it here: https://godforge.gg/hero-showdown

Last time, you shaped this game more than you know. Let's do it again.

Godforge CSAT Beta End Survey 6.4.2025

Godforge CSAT Beta End Survey 6.4.2025.

I have received news from a friend, and will relay his message to you here:

Scions.
You walked into the forge before the fires were fully set. You tested the blade before it had been tempered. You faced the unfinished and did not flinch.
I am the Arbiter of Justice. I see all things beneath the sun — the grand, the broken, the unpolished, and the true. And what I have seen in you during this first trial is this: patience where others would have turned away. Attention where others would have grown blind. Time given freely, where none was owed.
These are not small offerings. These are the offerings of those who believe in something still becoming.
Beta 1 was the first light over the horizon — not yet the full blaze. You endured its imperfections. You reported what others might have ignored. You returned when the path was unclear. For that, the forge — and all who labor within it — owes you a debt worthy of the gods.
Know this: Beta 2 will come. When the truth of its timing is ready to be revealed, I will bring that light to you myself. No flame worth trusting is rushed — but no worthy flame stays hidden forever.
Until then, rest, Scions. Your vigil has been honored.
The sun does not forget those who waited for it.

— Shamash, God of the Sun, Keeper of Truth, Arbiter of Justice
Ekur | Legendary | Order

A heartfelt thank you from me personally, and the rest of the Fateless crew! This is certainly a massive milestone for us, but it is just the beginning!

To be perfectly clear Beta 1 has ended and servers are in Maintenance mode until Beta 2.

Good relevant time of day to you all! 🌥️
While many of us were asleep, we had a lovely surprise pop into our inbox! 🎁

Be sure to head into the game and claim your rewards!
Flawless Aetherstones x10
🪙 Gold x 10 Million

Don't forget to claim your FREE LEGENDARY HERO from Echo Summons if these pulls carry you over in Fragment totals! Ra, King Arthur, or Hades can join YOU in the next Beta.

Please note: ALL THINGS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. However, the current plan is for heroes to carry over at their base level 1, no awakenings. These will NOT carry over into Early Access & beyond

After the update, we noticed some reports of Hercules still looping. This was particularly vs Workshop of Ptah. The issue has been found and bug properly reported but for now, please note the following suggestion to avoid looping issues in this Dungeon. 🔁

Note: this is also affecting some revivers including Shamash and Isis

HOTFIX COMPLETE

Server maintenance is over.

To get back to playing you will need to update your client and then log in.
➡️ Please check that you are on the LOG IN tab and not the CREATE ACCOUNT tab.

Once you are in, check your mailbox for some goodies 📬

Happy Playing!

SERVER MAINTENANCE NOTICE

We are planning to bring the servers down briefly in around 20 minutes to roll out an update. This is a hot fix for some critical bugs blocking gameplay. Patch notes will follow.

Estimated downtime: 30-60 minutes

As with the previous update you will need to update your client once the patch is released.

📢 You may have noticed that we have not gone into server maintenance.
We hope to be able to get some hotfixes for you tomorrow, we will keep you informed.

In the meantime I will work on the powers above to get you some nice treats after it's all done!

And because I think it's pretty amazing, check out Kelly's work on Devana! 🤩
