Inspired by the depth and fun of Rimworld and the brutal clash of ambition, intrigue, and violence from Game of Thrones, Noble Fates charges players with building a kingdom worthy of lasting recognition. The player's story begins when  several outcasts from a nearby procedurally generated kingdom stumble across a crown. The player chooses his/her ruler and what to do with any who oppose them.

Mortals in Noble Fates have diverse opinions and long-term memories where they remember the interactions that have impacted them the most. Did you butcher their friend? Steal their supplies? Tend their wounds? Honor them at a great feast? Make them eat human flesh? They remember. They talk about it. Everyone reacts.

The player recruits Nobles to grow their kingdom's ranks. They’ll distribute wealth to satisfy ambitions; decide the fates of mortals when things go wrong; defend their kingdom from threats and foster relationships with their neighbors. They'll bask in the adoration and appreciation of a generous reign or face the consequences of living as a tyrant. The story continues as long as there is someone left to wear the crown!

New to the genre -- players can take full control of their ruler in third person at any time! They'll appreciate their castle from a new perspective. Embark on a peaceful stroll through the forest. Live out cinematic moments like hopping down from the battlements to ambush foes.

Noble Fates is created by the two-man team of Chris Willoughby, former lead engineer of ARK: Survival Evolved and the State of Decay 1 and 2 team, and artist Matt Kaplan, whose work was featured in HoloLens and Forza, among others.
