We have lots of new products to show you at Spiel Essen from 23 to 26 October. You can find us in Hall 1, Stand A113.
This year’s Spiel fair is very special because we are celebrating 15 years of Freebooter’s Fate! Everyone who makes a purchase at our stand will receive a 15% voucher for our online shop as a thank you.
This year’s limited edition miniature is a self-portrait of Capt’n Klocke. Limited to 1,000 highly detailed resin figures.
Captain Klocke can be hired by anyone except the Amazons and Shadows. Since the captain also has a totally sinister, dark side, there is also a shadow version of him. The best rule is, of course, ‘My game, my rules’. This allows him to steal a special rule from his opponent and use it himself, heh heh.
Our tenth Tales of Longfall expansion, ‘Das Verlorene Tal’, and the Mercenaries themed crew box will also be released at the game.
Some of the monsters you may encounter on your adventure are: Dodo of Doom, Raptor and Escorbuta. Escorbuta is also one of the terrifying final bosses!
And then the Captain got carried away – there are two new Borstis coming to the game: Kratzborsti and Halloween Borsti. The other Borstis are also included – and by the way, the Festive roast is not a Borsti 😉
Ascending Fate
We still don’t know when the goods will reach us. Dock workers in Rotterdam are currently on strike. That’s why Ascending Fate is not available at Spiel Essen.
Due to preparations for Spiel Essen and the delivery of Ascending Fate*, we are unfortunately unable to offer pre-orders for Spiel this year.
You can find us in Hall 1, Stand A113.
23rd to 26th October 2025.
Preview of the Mercenaries themed crew box: Kawenga, Emilia and Claude. Join Emilia on her quest to find the Lost Valley.

* Unfortunately, we still do not know when the goods will reach us. We hope, but it will probably not be possible to deliver Ascending Fate before Spiel Essen.
Everything is coming together for us in October. Preparations for the fair and the eagerly awaited delivery of Ascending Fate.
The former are going great. You can find us in Hall 1, Stand A113. We have some great new products with us.
Among other things, our Captain Klocke finally has his own figure – a self-portrait and a limited edition at that!
A little preview: Capt’n Klocke, Tales #10: The Lost Valley and Escorbuta – our largest model for Freebooter’s Fate to date!
Ascending Fate
We are waiting for the container ship to finally dock in Hamburg. We are ready to deliver Ascending Fate before the Spiel in Essen. If we succeed, we will have it with us at the fair. If not… We will keep you informed here at Gamefound updates.
The new products are available immediately and will be dispatched from October 2nd.
We are in the midst of preparations for the Spiel in Essen in October and for the delivery of Ascending Fate.
Nevertheless, we have three new products for you next week: Grieving Soul and Flying Fist for the Tianyu, as well as a new model of the Master Harlequina for the Brotherhood.
The new items are expected to be released on 4 September.*

* Unbelievable, but some suppliers and painters are still on shore leave.
In two days, on 17 August, the Pledge Manager will close!
You can adjust, change or modify your pledges, or even make a new pledge.
Shipping costs! Anyone who has not yet paid for shipping should do so as soon as possible.
Any delay will also delay the shipping of the affected pledges.
The good news is that we can keep all prices stable – even though there have been some price increases over the course of the year – especially for shipping costs.

We plan to release Ascending Fate in November or December 2025.*
Of course, after we have delivered your pledges.
