Late final yr, Owlcat Games introduced they’d be engaged on a sequel to Pathfinder: Kingmaker. This one follows a tabletop Pathfinder marketing campaign which Owlcat says “tells the story of a large-scale conflict between mortals and demons where players are invited to immerse themselves in a world under siege from demonic forces.” They’ve now launched a Kickstarter marketing campaign for Pathfinder: Wrath Of The Righteous and backers have made brief work of the funding objective and a number of other stretch targets already.
“While we have enough budget to bring the concept of Wrath of the Righteous to life, we want this game to provide a truly epic experience,” Owlcat say. “This idea can be stretched a lot further than our current budget allows.” To that finish, their Kickstarter marketing campaign set a objective of $300,000, which backers have handily blown by way of in brief order. It has already tripled that objective, with 29 days nonetheless left to lift funds.
Beyond the primary ask, Owlcat have shared a number of stretch targets of their Kickstarter marketing campaign and backers have surpassed fairly a number of of these as effectively. Among the funding targets achieved are mounted fight, dismemberment, and an extra Warpriest class. Up subsequent are evolving animal companions of which Owlcat says “what could be better than riding a bear into battle? Riding and armored bear, of course.” I relent, you’ve acquired my consideration with the bears. Mounted fight looks as if a wonderfully “epic” addition for an RPG with battle administration parts.
Matthew acquired an early take a look at Wrath Of The Righteous earlier this month which you’ll be able to watch beneath. Owlcat shared with him their three huge goals for the subsequent Pathfinder game: “They want the game to be more epic. They want mechanical innovations. And they want to explore a more moral grey zone where good and bad behavior aren’t so clearly defined.” Epic is dealt with, after all, with the story for WotR being a conflict between mortals and demons.
Another great spot is “Player Mod Support” down within the Social Goals for the marketing campaign—earned by getting sufficient retweets and follows for the marketing campaign and whatnot. It’s not been unlocked fairly but although. Kingmaker didn’t embrace formal mod assist from Owlcat, so it might be swell to see the subsequent Pathfinder toss a rope all the way down to the modding neighborhood.
Owlcat say they’re planning to launch Wrath Of The Righteous in June 2021. You can discover out much more about it on its Kickstarter page.
