The Bard's Tale Trilogy - Thief of Fate Beta Available

A month or so ago, we were told that Thief of Fate, the third part of the remastered The Bard’s Tale Trilogy, was aiming for an early 2019 release. And if you don’t want to wait until 2019, right now you can participate in a beta test of the game on Steam. The beta offers a fully playable remastered Thief of Fate experience that lacks some monster and environment art and may ambush you with an unexpected bug here or there.

Here are some additional details:

Hi all!

As we have previously mentioned, we’re working away furiously on the Thief of Fate remaster, but it’s going to take a little more time to get all the various elements in place, to make it the best that it can be!

As promised, we have made a new BETA branch available in Steam, which has our current work in progress version of Thief of Fate. The game is fully playable (completable from start to finish), but various art for monsters, locations and environments are not complete; and there may be bugs throughout the game.

This BETA version is for the people who would like to participate in the final development push for the Bard’s Tale Trilogy. It will be lacking in the spit and polish that will be in the final release. If you just want to play the game and relive past glories, we would recommend waiting for the full release.

If you wish to access this BETA build:

Quit and reload the Steam client.

Right click on the game in your Steam library.

Select “Properties”.

Select the “Beta” tab.

In the dropdown, select the “beta” option.

Hit OK.

The BETA version including Thief of Fate will then be queued to download.
