You know, I gotta admit, the gaming world never fails to surprise me. So, this UK developer—Fateless, yeah?—they just pulled in a cool $8 mil for their RPG, “Godforge.” Seriously, though, most of this cash came from their fans hanging out in some HH Gaming community. And let’s do the math… that’s $14 million total. Wowza. All from the people who play their games. Kinda wild, right?
Here’s the kicker—Godforge, which I think sounds pretty darn epic by the way, is dropping sometime early 2026. It’s just in alpha now, so who knows what it’ll look like by then. But apparently, a bit over 4,400 folks have been poking around in it already. They even posted that on LinkedIn, of all places.
Now, Simon, the big cheese over at Fateless—Simon Lockerby, in case you’re tracking names—he’s buzzing with confidence. Talked about their 2 million followers across YouTube, Discord, and whatnot, saying they’re chomping at the bit for this game. Something about evolving the hero collector genre or whatever. Honestly, I’m not sure exactly what all that means, but hey, if the shoe fits…
The community even coughed up $6 million before this latest round. If that’s not love, what is? Anyway, there you have it. Who’s betting Godforge becomes the next big thing? Can’t wait to see.
