We’re in a golden age of fantasy RPGs right now. Oblivion Remastered brings back the 2006 classic for a new age. Baldur’s Gate 3 brought CRPGs into to the limelight. Elden Ring proved that Fromsoftware’s penchant for challenge has a place in open worlds. There are so many types of fantasy experiences around today that no two are completely alike, giving you more than enough reason to get stuck in. Now, inspired by Skyrim and Oblivion, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is about to join these ranks, as it edges closer to a full 1.0 launch.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a fantasy RPG in the truest sense. After stepping into a world of Arthurian legend stuck in an everlasting autumn, you need to choose how you’ll leave your mark on the land. You can explore, talk to myriad NPCs, choose your playstyle, and complete a wide range of quests that’ll eventually dictate what legacy King Arthur’s reign will leave on the land, after 600 years of struggle.
If you’ve played Skyrim, Oblivion, Avowed, or any number of role-playing games dictated by choice, you’ll feel right at home with Tainted Grail. You can engage in alchemy, cooking, mining, farming, house management, and even fishing – what good would a fantasy world be without fishing? Developer Questline has been steadily improving Tainted Grail since its early-access launch in 2023, but it’s about to finally take the leap to 1.0.
When Tainted Grail leaves Steam Early Access, you’ll be given everything the game has to offer. That means three different regions to explore, up to 70 hours of gameplay, a branching main story, over 200 side quests and more than 250 NPCs, dungeons, weapons, and a whole lot more. This will be the complete experience, but with one more bonus for new and returning players.
Questline confirms that Tainted Grail 1.0 will come with a fully functional third-person mode. This new perspective will be “far from perfect” at launch, but it’ll provide you with a new way of playing at the very least. Questline says it wanted to add the perspective as an accessibility feature, and I love it. As someone who constantly swaps between perspectives in the open worlds of Skyrim and Oblivion, I’ll be taking Tainted Grail’s third-person mode for a spin for sure.
Questline confirms that the Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon 1.0 release date is set for Friday May 23. You can buy the Steam Early Access version or play the free demo right here.
With Tainted Grail’s 1.0 launch around the corner, make sure you check out all the best fantasy games in the meantime. Otherwise, the best games like Skyrim will keep you busy.
