Dragonfate’s Favor unleashes Wild power with walking dragons

Play’n GO unveils Dragonfate’s Favor, a 6×4 video slot where ancient dragons stir and the lost power of the Alpha is yours to command.
In Dragonfate’s Favor, players are transported to a land where dragons once soared and their sanctuary shimmered with power. With the realm lost to time, only the Dragon Amulet can rekindle their might. Now, players join Goldar, the formidable golden guardian, and his fiery Hatchlings on a quest to restore the dragons’ strength and unlock riches buried in myth.
Blending folklore and fire, this game stands out with its narrative cohesion and choice-led gameplay. Three distinct Free Spins paths mirror the dragons’ unique traits, offering replayability and strategy within its 4096 payways.
The Re-Spins mechanic ignites when Goldar lands fully in view. He becomes a sticky Wild that walks leftward across the reels – a commanding force followed by agile Hatchlings, who may join the fray, overtaking their leader for unexpected wins. These Re-Spins can precede Free Spins, ensuring layered engagement.
Players then choose from three Free Spins modes. Alpha Blessing focuses on Goldar’s might; Hatchling Reward turns to the smaller dragons with walking, multiplying Wilds; and Dragon’s Gift fuses both for maximum impact. This blend of interactivity, character-driven mechanics and volatility choice gives Dragonfate’s Favor lasting appeal.
Players who enjoyed titles such as Raging Rex 2 or Beast of Fire will recognise the studio’s commitment to rich worlds and dynamic mechanics. The walking Wilds and layered volatility recall previous hits, yet Dragonfate’s Favor carves a niche all its own through narrative depth and the interplay between characters on the reels.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO said: “Dragonfate’s Favor isn’t just about big wins – it’s about meaningful choices. Players can shape their experience with distinct Free Spins paths, making every game session feel truly unique.”
With walking Wilds, fiery mechanics and character-led gameplay, Dragonfate’s Favor offers a fresh take on fantasy slots – one that players will return to again and again.
