Pathfinder: Kingmaker Definitive Edition Available Now!

Tuesday, August 18, 2020

Once again, the Stolen Lands await adventures and rulers! Owlcat Games and Deep Silver have released the critically acclaimed Pathfinder: Kingmaker Definitive Edition on PlayStation®4 and the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X. The game is available at selected retail stores as well as via the digital stores of the respective platforms. The classic RPG will take adventurers to the Stolen Lands, featuring all previously released content packs as well as a brand new turn-based mode.



“Classic RPGs are rare guests on consoles, and we are thrilled to introduce the complete Pathfinder experience to the console owners. And with the new turn-based combat, the players about to get even more gameplay variety they expect from a game of this genre”, states Alexander Mishulin, Creative Director at Owlcat Games.

The wild and dangerous Stolen Lands lie in the northern reaches of the River Kingdoms, realms ripe for the taking! Yet those who would become rulers of these new lands will soon learn that claiming a kingdom and keeping it are two different beasts. Can the heroes protect their lands from jealous and deadly enemies?

Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Definitive Edition Content:
The Pathfinder Kingmaker: Definitive Edition adds all previously released DLC content directly to the game and comes with the brand new turn-based mode, which not only brings the game closer to the tabletop experience but also adds a new tactical layer. Owners of the PC version will receive this new mode as a free patch-update later.

Providing ultimate control over the battlefield, the new turn-based mode works in harmony with the real-time with pause combat and players can smoothly switch between both depending on the situation they face or the way they want to play the game.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker takes players on an adventure through the infamous Stolen Lands, the dangerous and turbulent territories well known within Pathfinder fandom. The RPG revisits familiar characters and well-known locations from the lore of the franchise, and treats players to brand new adventures, deadly foes, and unforeseen twists and turns. Fans of the fantasy pen-and-paper RPG will experience this epic, heroic universe in new ways while computer RPG gamers will discover their favorite genre in a more contemporary light, with stunning 3D graphics that bring the world to life.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker will challenge players as both adventurers and rulers as they claim explored lands and carve their kingdom from the wilderness. Kingdom-founding goes beyond simple stronghold-building to become a true reflection of the hero character and choices made throughout the game. Each kingdom is a living and breathing world, shaped by rules, choices, allies, and the hero's ability to lead his or her people.

The Definitive Edition features all in-game content from previously released DLCs:

  • Pathfinder: Kingmaker - The Wildcards
  • Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Varnhold's Lot
  • Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Beneath The Stolen Lands
  • Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Bloody Mess
  • Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Arcane Unleashed
  • Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Royal Ascension

I've been playing the game turn based for months now thanks to the community created Mod. But this is cool too. Wish there was a switch version it'd be nice to play in bed.

Weird, looks to me like it's available right now.

I wish there was a bit more of a tutorial in some regards, but even having to figure it out as I go, it's been fun.

This truly does feel like playing tabletop on my X-Box.

I wish there was a switch version for this. It would be amazing on the switch.

Exactly. We wrote the blog, and then the update took place the day we posted it, so I put links to the update in the comments above.

We don't have any announcements about a Switch version and have communicated the consumer demand we see to Owlcat Games. If they make one we will shout it from the rooftops.

I only wish they had been truthful to the PFRPG ruleset, alas they weren't and this is why this game failed very hard for me, and that's after I was a KS backer.

Truthful? Do you mean faithful instead?

I wonder if he uses any house rules in his home game, or if he's "truthful to the PFRPG ruleset" himself.

For a Switch version, they talked A bit about it in the last « launch celebration » stream.
They seemed to think it would be great, saying the console was perfect for this kind of games...
So it’s clearly not that they don’t want to do it, but most probably because they lack the ressources for it right now, working on a new game and porting the old one... they had to make decisions.
(And don’t misunderstand me... I would LOVE a Switch version. It’s my only console and can’t play the game on my PC...)

It's... pretty darn close, though? Like, especially with turn based now. Pretty much the only thing that's majorly different is flanking, which is understandable because of how hard actual flanking would be to manage from the player's perspective.

And even then, there's a mod for that.

I have about 6 mods running on my version of the game, it's so good.
