Fates Forever was a video game marketed by its developer as the first multiplayer online battle arena designed exclusively for tablets.[1]

Fates Forever was a MOBA for the iPad developed by Hammer & Chisel Inc., now Discord Inc. The game featured 3-vs-3 gameplay, inspired by successful MOBA games like League of Legends and Defense of the Ancients.

Gameplay[edit]

There were ten playable characters in Fates Forever at launch, with at least four more planned for post-release. Each character had several special abilities that were unique to the play-style of each player-character.[2]

As of early 2015, there were 14 characters. Fates Forever is no longer available for download or for gameplay. The app and supporting community webpage were disabled in October 2015.

Release[edit]

Fates Forever was officially released on iPad worldwide on July 3, 2014, as the first game developed and published by start-up game studio Hammer & Chisel[3] a company founded by former OpenFeint CEO Jason Citron,[3] with the intent to build "great, complex games that don't compromise simply because they're for mobile device".[4]

The game's development staff would later go on to develop Discord, an online VoIP platform designed as a hub for people to chat in,[5] which went on to be one of the most successful chatting platforms in the world.

Reception[edit]

The game had a Metacritic score of 82/100 based on 8 critic reviews.[6]
