Stoked about any videogame that lets me play an android or lashunta, though I do wish their next project was Iron Gods.

Counter Offer: Triune
They dropped some clues that seem to heavily imply Dead Suns, but who knows.Where did this happen? I'd been somewhat expecting this to be a 40k game, but if they've confirmed they're working on Starfinder...just, wow. My day is just made.
That said, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters just came out, and it's excellent.
Not Starfinder, of course, but I've been wanting XCOM with Space Marines for a long time.

It would be an enormous bait and switch for a developer known primarily (or indeed, exclusively) for licensed Paizo games to tease a sci-fi game (when the company they license from has a property like that), right before PaizoCon too... Only for it to turn out to be something else entirely.
It would bum out both people who have been eagerly hoping for a Starfinder video game for years, and while people who aren't fans of sci-fi/science-fantasy/non-Pathfinder wouldn't be happy either way, a new or unrelated licensed IP would just be a loss-loss for Owlcat, really.
So, sad news there: not a Starfinder game, according to Paizo.
That sucks, I was betting Horizons of the Vast as that has all the stuff they like compared with Kingmaker and Wrath
BUMMER, if true but I bet if it is true Eric will spill it in the first Twitch stream opening

Well... that's disappointing, to say the least. I guess the next best thing we can hope for is that it is an Iron Gods CRPG perhaps rather than a property held by another publisher all together.
If true then I am betting Spelljammer, BUMMER OWLCAT abandoning Paizo for them if it turns out that way

Turns out it is Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader CRPG.
I was REALLY hoping for a Starfinder CRPG though. :-(
Yep, very sad for us Paizo fans, wonder if we will ever get the full story on "what happened here".
Things seemed to be going very good for this Paizo/ Owlcat relationship.
Have they parted ways, disputes, just a break to do something else, that "Russian thing going on" or god knows what else theses days......??
Hope paizo is now shopping around for a new company and PC games for Paizo is NOT a thing of the past or at a grinding standstill!! So much territory to still explore and still pretty much untouched, Starfinder, PF II and PF I still.
A very sad day of me today with that Twitter post :(

FFG's Rogue Trader is 100% Horizons of the Vast and Fly Free or Die mixed together. I'm stunned that it wasn't Starfinder.
I have all the books for this product line -- it's very fun but also could be very vexingly fiddly. Good material for a CRPG.
I wonder if they're going to use the Warpstorm Trilogy for the story? There weren't any Necrons in the Koronus Expanse, but that's definitely a Necron monolith-looking structure in the trailer.

Rogue Trader is one of my favorite RPGs ever. That entire FFG line is kind of a work of art.
I’m beside myself.

I never thought I’d see the Koronus Expanse again, let alone in a videogame!
I need this to do well enough to get a Dark Heresy game set in the Calixis Sector. A Haarlock Trilogy adaptation would have a lot of potential…

Do think that is bit too big jump to make, they likely just want to branch out that people don't think they are just company that does pathfinder related things, but new IPs on otherhand are extremely risky.
(heck I openly admit that its really hard to sell me new scifi IPs because almost all of them take humans only approach because its much easier than creating bunch of new alien species and detailing them out :p )
Yeah I have no interest in Sci-fi or WH stuff for the most part but they're not under contract with Paizo to only make Paizo games.
There's no betrayal. There's no bad blood. There's no abandonment. Unless Paizo or Owlcat one steps up and says otherwise, it's just a game company that wanted to make a game with they IP they were allowed access to, they're not forced to make Pathfinder or Starfinder games.

In the same way that Kingmaker and WOTR shared the Pathfinder engine, Rogue Trader was one of five different, linked 40k games that shared a d100 system and other mechanics. If this does well, we can expect a Dark Heresy or a Deathwatch release down the line.
Harebrained Schemes has made a great name for itself doing tabletop adaptations, between Shadowrun and Battletech; I’m glad to see Owlcat following in their footsteps (though they need to chase some creeps out of their fanbase).
I'm a little surprised Harebrained and Paizo haven't collaborated on anything before, especially since their HQs are like literally only twelve minutes away from each other. You'd practically hit up the same bar after work. After their Shadowrun games, I'd have complete confidence in them handling Starfinder.
Still kinda holding out hope Rook One is working on a Starfinder game though. They put original Starfinder art up on their website. Something was going on, regardless of whether there was anything to share at the time

HBS has been radio silence since finishing up the Battletech DLC, but they were hiring for a horror game a while back.
