History
Owlcat Games was founded in 2016 in Moscow by game developers who had previously worked on titles such as Heroes of Might and Magic V , Silent Storm and Etherlords , and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) such as Allods Online and Skyforge . [4] After working extensively on MMORPGs, the studio pivoted to create single-player role-playing video games. Partnering with Paizo and publisher Deep Silver, the studio's first game, Pathfinder: Kingmaker , was partly funded through Kickstarter and released in 2018. [5] It received criticisms for its technical issues, and Owlcat spent months introducing patches and free updates to the game. [6]
Initially a studio within My.Games, Owlcat raised $1 million in funding from investment firm Gem Capital in December 2019 for the development of another Pathfinder game, and became an independent studio. [7] The sequel, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous , once again partly funded through Kickstarter, was released in late 2021 and sold more than 1 million copies. [8] The company's recent game, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader , was released in December 2023. [9]
In June 2025, Owlcat announced they were developing a new roleplaying game set in the universe of The Expanse novels and TV series titled The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. The game will feature an original story, third-person tactical combat, a customisable captain, and romances with ally characters. [10]
