Hello, friends!
Today, we have exciting news for everyone who loves narrative-driven video games — Owlcat Games is embarking on a new quest to help other studios as a publisher.
We self-published Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and now we want to use our expertise to benefit other studios. We would like to work with teams that share our passion for telling captivating stories through narrative-driven games. Together with developers, we want to deliver new, exciting experiences akin to what we as a studio aim to create ourselves.
After reviewing more than 50 projects, we have signed deals with two talented development teams — Emotion Spark Studio, based in Serbia, and Another Angle Games, based in Poland.
Emotion Spark Studio is working on a narrative RPG called Rue Valley. It is a story about a man who ends up being trapped in a mysterious time loop in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Dealing with mental challenges, the main character must rise from the depths, delving into the anomaly to uncover its enigmatic origins.
Another Angle is creating an isometric RPG set in an alternate feudal Japan called Shadow of the Road. It is an immersive story about samurai, honor, and allegiance, combined with a deep tactical turn-based combat system in a world filled with magical yokai and deadly steampunk technology.
Both games are still in the early stages of development, and we will share more information about them later this month.
Stay tuned!
