Owlcat Games Enters Publishing Space With Two RPGs

Owlcat Games, known for making games like Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, has entered the publishing space with two new RPGs. This company will now help independent developers across the globe create their own RPG projects. By helping these independent developers out, they will give them access to funding, expert advice, and any other services they may need in the game creation department.

Owlcat Games reviewed 50 different games and picked two to start with. The two development teams they'll be working with are Emotion Spark Studio, based in Serbia, and Another Angle Games, based in Poland.

This game combines history, samurai, allegiance, and honor with tactical turn-based combat systems. In addition, it takes place in a world filled with magical Yokai and Steampunk technology.

While both games are still in early development, attendees of Gamescom will get more information on these two RPGs.

META Games has published some games, including Biped, Spirit of the Island, Train Valley 1, and Train Valley 2. Its upcoming games include Biped 2 and Nested
