Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is an isometric role-playing game developed by Russian studio Owlcat Games and published by META Publishing, based on Paizo Publishing's Pathfinder franchise. Announced through a Kickstarter campaign in February 2020, the game was released for Microsoft Windows and macOS on 2 September 2021 with versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One arriving on 1 March 2022.
Development[]
The game is a sequel to Pathfinder: Kingmaker, the previous RPG of the same developer, but it does not follow the same story. The sequel builds on the engine from Kingmaker to address concerns raised by critics and players, and expands additional rulesets from the tabletop game, includes new character classes and the mythic progression system.[1] Owlcat launched a Kickstarter campaign in February 2020 to raise additional development funds for the title.[2] The Kickstarter successfully raised over US$2 million of its requested US$300,000, allowing for several stretch goals to be added during development.[3] Like its predecessor, Wrath of the Righteous follows an Adventure Path of the same name, which was originally published in August 2013.
Reception[]
The game received generally positive reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[4]
