Owlcat Games, renowned for its work on Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, is embarking on an exciting new chapter as it transitions into the realm of publishing. This strategic move positions the company to extend its expertise and resources to indie studios dedicated to crafting role-playing games (RPGs) and narrative-driven titles.
Supporting Indie Developers
In its new role, Owlcat Games aims to provide a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the needs of these developers. This includes not only financial backing but also invaluable guidance and support throughout the development process. The company has already signed on two promising projects: Rue Valley, a venture from Serbia’s Emotion Spark Studio, and Another Angle Games hailing from Poland.
Moreover, Owlcat has taken a significant step by acquiring control of Meta Publishing, the firm behind Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. This acquisition reflects Owlcat’s commitment to nurturing and expanding its portfolio within the gaming industry.
Andrey Tsvetkov, Owlcat’s head of publishing, expressed the company’s vision: “We would like to work with teams that share our passion for telling captivating stories through narrative-driven games. These might not fall entirely into the RPG genre, but they will definitely have a solid focus on story, characters, and worldbuilding.”
Having successfully navigated the journey of creating their own dream game, Owlcat now stands ready to guide other teams in realizing their creative aspirations. With a wealth of experience and a passion for storytelling, Owlcat Games is poised to make a significant impact in the indie gaming landscape.
