![]() Let’s take a closer look at our most recently announced recruit: Captain Estrella Fiore. Companions are a whole new variable for us to introduce to the mix and we can’t wait for you to explore their possibilities. Some of the most interesting parts of the original game emerged from the unexpected interaction between cards and equipment - a surprising continuation of the story, or a hidden narrative branch unlocked by a newly acquired piece of loot. Companions aren’t just an extra blade (Or pistol, or hammer, or in the case of Malaclypse, a lute?) on the battlefield they’ve got their own storylines and encounter cards and each has a unique way to break the rules on the tabletop. The first Hand of Fate told the story of a solitary hero, but in Hand of Fate 2 the player is assisted by a handful of AI companions. In Hand of Fate, player progress is ultimately measured by the size of your deck, and the more cards a player has unlocked the more tools they have at their disposal to counter the Dealer’s challenges. If they lose they’ll have to start the challenge over again. If the player gets to the end of the challenge they unlock more powerful cards. If the player ends up in combat the view flies into the card and the battle plays out in real time. The player puts together a deck of cards representing fantastic encounters and magical equipment, which get folded in with the Dealer’s cards and laid out on the table like a dungeon.Īs the player moves their piece around the board the cards flip over, revealing a challenge, a fight, or a continuation of the story. So let’s talk about Hand of Fate 2! Like its predecessor, (Hand of Fate 1, available for purchase on all good Playstation Stores) Hand of Fate 2 mixes deck-building collectible card games, tabletop roleplaying, and third person combat. ![]() If you’re attending PlayStation Experience, you should swing by the Defiant Development booth! We’ve got a brand new demo showcasing the big features of Hand of Fate 2 - the Dealer’s Challenge Board, our powerful new deckbuilder, and the debut of our new companion character, Captain Estrella Fiore. ![]() I’ve spent two conventions dancing around this question with a litany of non-answers so, if nothing else, this is a huge relief for me. I’ve had to bite my tongue on this one for a little while, but I’m happy to report that Hand of Fate 2, the card game that comes to life, will be releasing next year on PS4 and PS4 Pro. Hey there! Lee from Defiant Development here, ready to give you the low-down on what we’ve been doing with Hand of Fate 2 lately.
