Developer Owlcat Games and META Publishing have proudly announced that cRPG Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has surpassed 250k copies on PC alone during the first week of sales. The team also reported seeing more than double the number of concurrent players during the first weekend enjoying the game compared to the Kingmaker launch.
The team is currently working around the clock to release fixes and enhancements and give players a truly friction-free experience, with 3 patches already released and more coming soon.
“For a long time, we’ve been working extremely hard on making Wrath of the Righteous everything we originally conceived at the start of development and even more after the phenomenal support during the Kickstarter campaign. We wanted this to be a landmark moment for CRPG fans, pushing the genre into new spaces, with mechanics that tried to give players an experience that brings the flexibility and freedom found in Tabletop adventures,” says Creative Director Alexander Mishulin. “We’re glad that players and critics are really feeling that we’ve given them that and even more. We truly are overwhelmed with the response”.
“This is truly a big moment, no doubts here. And it’s only the beginning! We’re determined to give players what they expect, and I’m genuinely blown away by the energy the Owlcat Team is putting into fixing the issues players are reporting. It’s really awesome to see!” Says Ilya Salamatov, CEO of META Publishing. “It goes without saying that we’re listening to the community incredibly closely, so please keep your feedback coming, as it’s invaluable to us.”
