Coming soon: Gamepad overhaul
A complete revamp of Fates of Ort's gamepad controls is in progress. The current system relies heavily on controlling a cursor with a joystick, which is a clunky solution.
The new system includes the ability to target-lock enemies, and the in-game menus will be redesigned to move away from a reliance on cursor navigation.
The expectation is to switch the designation from 'Partial Controller Support' to 'Full Controller Support' with the release of the update.
Unhallowed Bones
'Unhallowed Bones' is a time limited quest. Play Fates of Ort between October 29th and November 7th to gain the 'Unhallowed Bones' quest. If you manage to defeat the envoy of the Bone King, you can claim a unique and powerful blade.
