Pathfinder: Kingmaker Announced, Chris Avellone Involved
The tabletop role-playing game Pathfinder is getting a video game adaptation. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is an isometric, singleplayer RPG which takes place within the Pathfinder universe.
The project is currently in Kickstarter, with over $310,000 towards its $500,000 goal.
If funded, Pathfinder: Kingmaker will be developed by Owlcat Games. The team is particularly inspired by classic of the genre, such as Baldur's Gate and Fallout. The narrative of Kingmaker will be directed by genre veteran Chris Avellone, who has worked on Fallout 2, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, and Prey.
Our Take
With more than a month to go on its Kickstarter, there already seems to be a ton of support for Kingmaker. For fans of the tabletop game, this will be a great opportunity to translate their fantasy adventures to their desktops.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
