UNFATED STUDIOS AT OTAKON!

SUCCESS!

Unfated Studios’ first showcase at Otakon 2025 in August in Washington DC was a massive success! We had such an awesome time showing the game to so many of you, and while it is always a little nerve-wracking to put your work in front of other people, everyone was so nice and it was very inspiring to see so many people genuinely interested in our little project! It was also very exciting to be able to sell all the merch we’ve been working on: the stickers, pins, art prints, and artbooks all help us to keep developing BATARA, and we’re so grateful for the support.

Also, huge shoutout to Alex and his incredible Artorias the Abysswalker cosplay! As longtime Souls fans, we didn’t know how much we needed to have Artorias play BATARA: Fate Unbound, until we saw it with our very eyes! Make sure to follow Alex at AlexRenDesign on Instagram!

FORWARDS AND ONWARDS

We’re still working on a 1 hour demo for you guys, and for anyone who played the current version, know that there are some big changes coming! Enemy variety, puzzles, and most importantly, a banger bossfight is in the works. We hope to share a longer and more refined game demo by early next year, so stay tuned, and come say hi in our Discord server!

Game development is a long and sometimes frustrating process, and it can be easy to lose sight of what inspired us to embark on this journey on the first place: we love games that feel like art and we want to bring more of that into the world. That’s why it means the world to us how many people expressed excitement in our game. To everyone that played the demo, bought merchandise, or even just said they are excited to see where the project goes, thank you so much for your support!
