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 a significant expansion into game publishing. This strategic move, building on 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 that share their passion for compelling narratives. The company will provide these developers with the resources and support needed to realize their creative visions, fostering innovation in storytelling within the gaming landscape.
Owlcat's Initial Publishing Portfolio
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, honor, and tactical turn-based combat with steampunk technology and yokai.
Both Rue Valley and Shadow of the Road are in early development, with more details expected soon. These titles exemplify Owlcat's commitment to innovative and engaging storytelling. The publisher plans to share further updates as development progresses.
Owlcat's foray into publishing represents a new chapter, aiming to diversify the range of narrative-driven games available to players globally and champion emerging talent in the industry.
