We are thrilled to finally reveal the future of Astral Ascent with our official 2026 Roadmap! Since our 1.0 launch, we have been hard at work expanding the Astral Prison, adding new ways to fight the Zodiacs, and growing this incredible universe.
That's countless escape attempts, thousands of Papa Yalee stories discovered, and millions of spells cast in the Garden. It’s been an incredible journey, and we want to say a huge THANK YOU for your long-standing support!
As revealed in the video, a new challenger is breaking into the prison...
We are very happy to announce that you can now wishlist Arven - The Wolf Blade.
You can get this DLC for FREE if you backed the Fallen Fates's Kickstarter at the Loner Pack tier or above. Check our Fallen Fates Kickstarter page for late pledge!
Play as Arven, a Ranger of relentless determination who heard of a group of heroes trapped within an Astral Prison. Fighting alongside the wolf Kat, his hunting companion, this new hero had no other choice but to lend his blade to those fighting for their survival.
Arven is a character from Fallen Fates, the upcoming action RPG by Hibernian Workshop.
Brand new mechanic - Arven never travels without Kat. Traverse the astral prisons in good company with this wolf who will follow you throughout your escape attempts. (Compatible with the Celestial Heaven DLC: your pet and Kat will follow you side by side).
25 new unique spells - use the greatsword to create powerful slashes, moves nimbly while setting up explosive traps, and more!
Signature Spell - throws a hook onto an enemy and dashes towards them, while summoning Kat to assist you in battle and follow you around the battlefield.
30 Associated Perks to adapt Arven's Signature Spell to your playstyle.
2 Weapons types for different playstyles :
Alpha Sword - medium-range attacks swinging and slashing enemies.
Ethereal Missiles - use magic to shoot powerful blasts of energy from a long range.
6 Weapon Passives - Each weapon comes with 3 unique passives, making Arven and Kat an even deadlier duo.
Stellar Voice Acting - Arven is fully voiced in Japanese and English by the incredibly talented Tagui Omi and Ben Starr, respectively.
New Papa Yalee Stories - 4 new stories to learn about Arven and Kat's mysterious origins.
