The Dealer has returned, the cards are waiting, and Hand of Fate: Hordes enters Steam Early Access tomorrow - 22 July 2026.

Created by the original indie designers of Hand of Fate and starring Anthony Skordi once again as the Dealer, Hordes combines fast-paced bullet heaven combat with strategic deckbuilding and story.

Prepare for the Dealer’s New Game

Beyond the 13th Gate, you are imprisoned within the Shadow Vaults, where the banished Dealer has devised a new game for your demise.

Choose from four distinct heroes:

  • Trickster - quick, cunning and deadly at range

  • Goblin - small, unpredictable and dangerously powerful with magic

  • Warrior - a relentless melee fighter built to face the horde head-on

  • Rebel - a defiant hero determined to create their own fate

Build the deck that shapes your run, discover powerful weapons and enchantments, and turn the Dealer’s own game against him.

Every card shapes your journey - for better or for worse.

Early Access Is Only the Beginning!

Once you have had the chance to play, we want to hear from you.

Tell us about your favourite heroes and builds, what you enjoy, what feels frustrating and where you think the experience could be improved. We will be actively reviewing feedback throughout Early Access as we continue developing the game alongside the community.

We are also planning a Developer Q&A one week after launch, giving you the opportunity to put your questions to the team. More details will be shared soon.
