Vindictus: Defying Fate is coming to PS5 next year, with four heroes shown

Vindictus: Defying Fate is coming to PS5 next year. Lead director Dongseok Oh revealed the PlayStation version on the PlayStation Blog on 12 November 2026 (US time), and the PlayStation Store page is live now, so you can add it to your wishlist.

A hero for every fighting style

It’s a medieval fantasy action-RPG inspired by Celtic mythology, and the team says each hero starts with a weapon and builds a combat style around it. You can stick with one hero or level up several and swap as the situation calls for it. The four shown so far:

• Lann: relies on dodging rather than guarding. Chain dodges, then close in for a strike.
• Fiona: blocks with her shield and counterattacks. A well-timed deflection lets her keep attacking without a pause.
• Delia: builds up power for a devastating blow, and can evade by piercing through an enemy as she strikes.
• Karok: absorbs incoming hits to hold his ground, and can enter a contest of strength if you time your response to a powerful attack.

You can also craft your own weapons and customise your outfit and appearance.

Prophecy, mercenaries and a shadowy plot

Humans and Fomors of Taranúil have fought for ages under a prophecy: “The gates of paradise shall open when one race eradicates the other.” You play a new recruit of the Kalbram Mercenaries, working under the Rocheste Order, and uncover a shadowy plot beneath the old conflicts.

Places named so far include:

• Colhen, a farming village on the front line
• the Northern Ruins, once in neutral territory between humans and Fomors
• Hoarfrost Hollow, a snowy valley of forests, ice mines and glacial waterfalls
• Ainle, a city destroyed overnight by a mysterious incident

Multiplayer

The journey is mainly a solo one, but the team says it’s also preparing multiplayer content for facing overwhelming threats alongside other players.
