Owlcat Games Embarks on Publishing Venture
Focusing on Narrative-Rich Game Experiences
On August 13th, Owlcat Games, renowned for its acclaimed cRPGs like Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, announced its foray into game publishing. This strategic move, building on their acquisition of META Publishing in 2021, aims to empower developers passionate about crafting immersive, story-driven games. Owlcat will leverage its expertise to help these studios bring their unique narratives to life.
This publishing initiative reflects Owlcat's commitment to enriching the gaming landscape beyond its own development efforts. The studio seeks partnerships with developers who share its dedication to compelling storytelling, providing them with the resources and support essential for success.
New Games Joining the Owlcat Publishing Roster
Owlcat has already partnered with two promising studios:
Emotion Spark Studio (Serbia) is developing Rue Valley, a narrative RPG where the protagonist is trapped in a time loop within a mysterious town. The game will explore themes of mental health and personal growth as the player unravels the town's secrets. Owlcat's collaboration will focus on enhancing the game's narrative and player engagement.
Another Angle Games (Poland) is creating Shadow of the Road, an isometric RPG set in an alternate feudal Japan, blending samurai culture with steampunk technology and tactical turn-based combat. Players will navigate a world of yokai and intrigue. Owlcat's support will ensure the game's smooth development and release.
Both Rue Valley and Shadow of the Road are in early development, with further details expected later this month. Owlcat plans to regularly share updates as these exciting projects progress.
Owlcat's entry into publishing represents a significant step, broadening its impact on the industry and fostering diverse storytelling. This initiative will not only highlight emerging talent but also enrich the world of narrative-driven games for players worldwide.
