Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a great looking isometric RPG based on the classic pen and paper RPG franchise. Kingmaker has been in development since 2016 as the first project by Owlcat Gmaes, a new dev group comprised of veterans from Heroes of Might and Magic V, Silent Storm, Etherlords, Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul and other games.
Today, Deep Silver, world-class publisher of some really huge franchises (Saint’s Row, Dead Island, Metro) announced that they will be handling the publishing duties for Pathfinder: Kingmaker, ensuring that the game will be available to a wide swath of eager gamers.
“We have ambitious plans for Pathfinder: Kingmaker. We want to reach out to the maximum number of players across the globe, making our brand easily accessible, maintaining quality and doing right by the fanbase. Working with Deep Silver ensures we can step up our retail marketing and benefit from the unique experience offered with KOCH,” said the head of Owlcat Games, Oleg Shpilchevsky.
The game looks fantastic, taking players on a journey through Pathfinder’s infamous Stolen Lands in their quest to become king. Pen and paper concepts like alignment play heavily into game design, allowing character’s choices to shape the game world in new and unique ways.
While no official release date has been revealed, the prevailing winds on the game’s community board seem to be pointing towards a fall release. Check out Pathfinder: Kingmaker’s website for more details.
