The wait is over. Developer Xobermon and publisher Living World have officially announced that Noble Fates has graduated from Steam Early Access and launched its full Version 1.0 today, November 12, 2026 — concluding nearly five years of collaborative development with its community since first arriving on December 14, 2021.
A LIVING KINGDOM SIMULATOR
Noble Fates isn’t your typical city builder. It’s a living fantasy kingdom sim where you don’t just place buildings — you nurture a society. Every citizen in your realm has their own memories, opinions, beliefs, and relationships. They remember how you treat them. They remember betrayals. They remember kindness. And they act accordingly.
“The world is the storyteller.”
Start with a handful of settlers — Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, Halflings, or Humans — and grow from a humble encampment into a sprawling kingdom. But the world around you lives too:
- Shape your culture — Choose your kingdom’s ethics. Be a peaceful elven sanctuary, a cannibal raider sect, a human supremacist clan, or anything in between. Your beliefs determine who befriends you — and who declares war
- Citizens with character — Your subjects aren’t drones. Feed them well, give them homes, and they’ll love you. Neglect them or wrong them, and they’ll desert, rebel, or even join your enemies — and they’ll tell you exactly why
- Diplomacy or domination — Negotiate treaties, trade resources, or march your armies. Or invite a rival ruler to a feast — and decide whether they leave the hall alive
- DYNASTY MATTERS — When your ruler dies, the crown passes. Opinions shift. Old grudges resurface. A kingdom built over decades can fracture in a single generation
- THE BREACH & MAGIC SYSTEM — Demonic portals tear open across the land. Train a Mage, wield powerful spells in third-person, and face the terrifying Demon Dragon to seal the rift
WHAT’S NEW IN 1.0?
The full release packs a magical update alongside a polished, complete campaign experience:
NEW — THE MAGE SYSTEM
- Recruit visitors trained in the arcane and send others to learn
- Magic stat system with spells that grow in power: Heal, Poison, Haste, Slow, Conjure Food/Water, Summon Gear, and more
- Craftable staffs and wizard hats — looted from defeated demons
- Take direct third-person control of your Mage in battle
THE DEMON DRAGON
- A colossal new boss encounter — attacks from the sky, lands to rest, and shrugs off blows with thick, scaled skin
- Defeat it to seal the Breach and divide the spoils among your people
POLISH & FOUNDATION
- Full campaign now playable from start to finish
- 30+ hours of research and progression

THE TECHMASH TAKE
Few games commit to “living world” simulation as deeply as Noble Fates. Most sims treat citizens like cogs in a machine — Noble Fates treats them like people. People who hold grudges, fall in love, defect to rivals, and carry the weight of history across generations. It’s a game where the most compelling stories aren’t scripted — they just happen, born from the deep, interconnected simulation running beneath the surface.
After nearly five years in Early Access, the community has shaped every corner of this kingdom. If you’ve been waiting for the full picture — now is the time. Build your realm. Choose your legacy. Just remember: your people are watching. And they never forget.
