Divine developers 42 Bits Entertainment alongside publisher Aerosoft have proclaimed that Fata Deum, the highly anticipated deity simulation game, will ascend to Steam Early Access on September 15th, 2025!
Drawing inspiration from iconic classics like Black & White and Populous, Fata Deum delivers the ultimate resurrection of the God Games genre. Players assume the role of an all-powerful deity with the ability to command, construct, devastate, and transform entire realms according to their divine vision – whether benevolent or malevolent! Through compassion or ruthlessness, via protection or domination, every divine decree will transform your followers, alter their devotion, and reshape the very earth they inhabit.
Discover Your Divine Nature
Fata Deum transcends simple city-building mechanics. You become the architect of faith, fortune, and fate itself. Lead your mortals with divine mercy or govern through divine terror. Answer their supplications, manifest wonders, or deliver punishment – because justice demands it, or simply because your power knows no bounds! Each divine intervention creates ripple effects throughout your world, ensuring every gaming session tells a completely different tale.
The gameplay flows between two distinct phases: daylight and darkness. During daylight hours, manifest divine powers, guide civilization’s growth, and battle competing deities for supremacy. When night falls, refine your divine strategy in solitude, influence mortal dreams, and orchestrate your next divine intervention.
Whether you prefer hands-on divine micromanagement or a more strategic, overarching approach, Fata Deum accommodates your preferred deity style. Featuring multiple carefully designed realms packed with hidden treasures, narrative-driven missions, and tactical challenges, you can demolish buildings with realistic physics, summon celestial bombardments, or completely terraform the terrain. Construct more than 20 different building varieties to develop your civilization toward warfare, wisdom, commerce, or expansion – but beware, other gods seek dominion too.
Face Divine Rivals
Competing deities will contest your authority, each possessing distinctive characteristics and divine specializations:
Violence – The war goddess of combat and annihilation
Pleasure – The deity of luxury, creativity, and celebration
Deceit – The trickster god of illusions and schemes
Fertility – The life-giving mother of creation and abundance
Command divine interventions that influence everything from population growth to urban development. Enhance your worshippers with divine strength and wisdom, shield them during conflicts, or offer them as sacrifices for greater power. Transform them into undead servants, absorb their life force, or conjure otherworldly beings. Every deity offers unique gameplay, ensuring no two worlds develop identically.
“We’re thrilled to finally reveal Fata Deum’s launch date! Our adventure began with a successful Kickstarter campaign, where 1,451 incredible supporters trusted our vision and provided the foundation to develop something extraordinary. That initial support has blossomed into a community exceeding 200,000 Steam wishlisters – something we could only imagine back in 2021!” – Christoph Schulze, 42 Bits Entertainment
“Fata Deum represents more than entertainment for us. It’s our homage to the god games that inspired us, and our opportunity to revitalize a beloved genre. We’re eager to invite players into our created universe and hope they’ll enjoy both building magnificent civilizations… and watching them crumble!”
