Owlcat Games Expands into Publishing, Unveiling New Narrative-Driven RPGs

Owlcat Games, renowned for its acclaimed cRPGs Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, has announced its foray into game publishing. This strategic move, following the acquisition of META Publishing in 2021, aims to support and amplify the development of narrative-driven games.

Owlcat's publishing initiative focuses on collaborating with studios sharing its passion for compelling narratives. The company will provide resources and expertise to help developers realize their creative visions, fostering innovation in storytelling within the gaming landscape.

Owlcat's initial publishing slate includes two promising titles:

• Rue Valley (Emotion Spark Studio, Serbia): 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 as the character unravels the mystery.

• Shadow of the Road (Another Angle Games, Poland): An isometric RPG set in an alternate feudal Japan, blending samurai culture, honor, and tactical turn-based combat with steampunk elements and yokai mythology.

Both games are in early development, with more details expected soon. Owlcat's commitment to nurturing innovative storytelling promises a diverse range of engaging experiences for players globally. This expansion marks a significant step for Owlcat, showcasing emerging talent and enriching the world of narrative-driven RPGs.
