Pathfinder and Warhammer 40K RPG developer Owlcat Games on “speedrunning” its first 10 years and what comes next: “We won’t be quitting the CRPG genre”
Owlcat Games says it intends to remain in the computer role-playing game genre as it looks beyond its first decade. The studio’s comments matter because it has established itself through licensed RPGs based on Pathfinder and Warhammer 40,000, and is signalling continued investment in that style of game.
The developer describes its early progress as “speedrunning” its first ten years, reflecting its rapid move from Pathfinder titles to Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. While it is considering future opportunities, Owlcat says it does not plan to abandon CRPGs, suggesting upcoming projects will continue to draw on the genre’s party-based, choice-led format.
