Indie studio Fateless has raised $14 million in funding for its upcoming RPG, Godforge.
Formed in May 2023 around the HellHades Gaming (HH Gaming) brand, Fateless announced in July 2024 that it had raised an initial $6 million in funding within just 10 weeks of its start.
The U.K.-based studio has now raised an additional $8 million in a second round of funding, according to a press release published on August 14, 2025.
According to Fateless, the total $14 million it has raised so far has primarily been driven by its HH Gaming and HellHades community members.
The funding is being used to develop the studio’s debut title, Godforge, a cross-platform RPG due to release in Q1 2026.
Godforge is currently in Alpha, with the first wave now complete. On August 7, 2025, Fateless shared statistics from this test on LinkedIn, which revealed 4,421 players logged in to the game during wave one, logging a total of 45,776 play hours.
“With an already engaged and proven audience of over [two] million players across our YouTube channels, website, Discord, and social media, we’re excited and confident that Godforge will help evolve the hero collector genre for the next generation of players,” said Simon”HellHades” Lockerby, co-founder and CEO of Fateless.
“More importantly, the community has already expressed great belief in the game by helping us raise funds of $6 million during our initial startup phase, and was a major contributor to our latest round.”
