Fellowship is a new type of co-op action RPG in which players log on and just run endless dungeons over and over with folks to grind out better loot and gear. You don’t have to level up for a hundred hours to reach the end game, Fellowship just starts at the end already—which is precisely the type of thing a lot of MMO players have wanted for a long time.
There once was a time where PC games and console games couldn’t be more different. From genres and game design to visual fidelity, they were just not even close to comparable. If you liked strategy games, first-person shooters, or MMOs, then you were a PC gamer back in the day.
Will Fellowship Ever Come To Consoles?
Nowadays, there’s a ton of overlap, ports, and cross-platform releases for any and every genre you can think of. MMORPGs with complex skill bar management like Final Fantasy XIV play great on consoles and have tremendous controller support options on PC as well. Plenty of MMOs have been adapted by communities to play that way as well, even if not officially, like World of Warcraft. Then you’ve even got new MMOs like Throne & Liberty that launch with console and PC crossplay from day one.
Naturally, when I checked out Fellowship a few weeks ago with the development team at Chief Rebel, I had to ask. Would the game ever come to consoles?
“There’s hopes and dreams. I would say that would be, incredible, but we don’t have that on our production map just yet,” Hamish Bode, community director at Chief Rebel, said during a play session and recorded interview. “That would be fantastic. Absolutely. Yeah, it makes sense. One of the most requested features from our community is controller support. And for accessibility purposes, I would absolutely love to see that.”

That’s far from a definitive confirmation, but it at least sounds like something the team is aware people want and could conceivably be worked on. Perhaps after Fellowship exits early access and is in launch status there would be bandwidth to approach this topic more seriously.
You can check out Fellowship for yourself over on PC via Steam in early access now.
