Forge of the Fae is targeting March 2027 across PC and consoles. Datadyne and Deck13 Spotlight announced the release window on October 15 for the Celtic-inspired, turn-based RPG, alongside a new trailer.

The publisher names Steam and GOG on PC, Xbox One and Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and 5, and both Nintendo Switch generations. That is a month-long window rather than a confirmed launch day.

An inventor follows a trail of disappearances

The game follows Fiora and her companions through a world inspired by nineteenth-century Ireland. Its Steam description places the investigation amid a miners’ strike that turns violent, with people vanishing as the conflict grows.

Fiora is an inventor, and the mechanical faerie that travels with her can be upgraded. The setup brings industrial machinery and folklore into the same mystery, giving the adventure a particular setting beyond its familiar party-RPG format.

Try the combat before committing to the calendar

A Steam demo is available. The announced combat systems include ARC Crystals for shaping skills and magic, combinations of skills with spells, and Adrenaline Surges that can activate without consuming a turn.

That last distinction is worth testing: an ability outside the normal turn cost could change when a party needs to defend, spend a resource or finish an enemy. The demo offers a way to see the rhythm for yourself; this report does not claim that we have tested it.

Steam’s date field still reads unannounced. The March 2027 target comes from the newer October 15 publisher release. Check the final day and your platform’s edition as launch approaches.
