Game Overview
Arx Fatalis invites players into a richly detailed fantasy world teetering on the edge of ruin. In this critically acclaimed first-person RPG from Arkane Studios, the sun has vanished, casting the land into eternal darkness and driving its inhabitants underground. As resources dwindle and tensions rise, diverse races including trolls, goblins, rat-men, and humans engage in brutal conflict for survival. Amid this chaos, a new threat emerges—the God of Destruction, Akbaa—whose sinister influence threatens to consume Arx entirely. Players embark on a heroic journey across ancient temples, bustling cities, and abandoned mines to uncover hidden secrets, collect legendary artifacts, and confront formidable enemies in a desperate effort to save the world from annihilation. Customization and player choice take center stage as you forge your own champion in this immersive experience.
