Developed with Unreal Engine 4, FATED: The Silent Oath is a first-person immersive adventure set in the mythical age of Vikings and built specifically for virtual reality. Written by Jill Murray, a writer on Assassin’s Creed, FATED tells the story of a man and his family during Ragnarök – the end times. On their journey, as he comes across a mix of touching and terrifying events, this man learns about himself and his loved ones, taking the players on a fully immersive emotional rollercoaster.

FATED leverages the capabilities of VR to bring about a leap forward in storytelling. Featuring high-quality writing, characterisation and voice acting, FATED aims to transport the players to a world of myth and legend, and to make them feel a true emotional connection with the story and its characters.

Priced at $19.99/£14.99/€19.99, FATED is a first-generation virtual reality game available on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, and slated to launch on PlayStation VR in Q4 2016.
