Owlcat Games Expands into Game Publishing
Owlcat Games, renowned for its acclaimed cRPGs like Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, has announced its foray into game publishing. This strategic move, following their acquisition of META Publishing in 2021, aims to support and amplify narrative-driven games from other developers.
Owlcat's publishing initiative focuses on collaborating with studios sharing their passion for compelling narratives. The company will provide resources and expertise to help these developers bring their creative visions to fruition, further solidifying their commitment to enriching the gaming landscape.
Initial Publishing Partners and Projects
Owlcat has already partnered with two promising studios:
-
Emotion Spark Studio (Serbia): Developing Rue Valley, a narrative RPG centered around a protagonist trapped in a time loop within a remote town. The game explores themes of mental health and personal growth.
-
Another Angle Games (Poland): Creating Shadow of the Road, an isometric RPG set in an alternate feudal Japan, blending samurai culture with steampunk technology and tactical combat.
Both Rue Valley and Shadow of the Road are in early development, with more details expected soon. These partnerships highlight Owlcat's dedication to fostering innovative storytelling and expanding the variety of narrative-driven games available to players globally. Owlcat's entry into publishing represents a significant step in their journey, promising to showcase new talent and enhance the overall quality of narrative experiences in the gaming industry.
