Publisher Deep Silver and developer Owlcat Games will release Pathfinder: Kingmaker Definitive Edition for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 18, the companies announced.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker Definitive Edition includes the Pathfinder: Kingmaker base game, as well as the “Beneath the Stolen Lands,” “Varnhold’s Lot,” “Bloody Mess,” “The Wildcards,” “Arcane Unleashed,” and “Royal Ascension” expansions.

Here is an overview of the PC version, via its Steam page:

With the help of over 18,000 Kickstarter backers, Narrative Designer Chris Avellone and composer Inon Zur, Owlcat Games is proud to bring you the first isometric computer RPG set in the beloved Pathfinder tabletop universe. Enjoy a classic RPG experience inspired by games like Baldur’s Gate, Fallout 1 and 2, and Arcanum. Explore and conquer the Stolen Lands and make them your kingdom!
Based on our players’ feedback and suggestions, this version of the game improves and builds upon the original. This edition includes:

• Numerous gameplay-enriching content additions and dozens of quality-of-life features
• New abilities and ways to build your character, including a brand-new class
• New items and weaponry
• Improved balance, especially in the beginning and last two chapters of the game
• Enhanced kingdom management system, both in terms of balance as well as usability and player comfort
• Increased variety of random encounters on the global map
• Thousands of fixes and improvements made since the game’s initial release

Explore the Stolen Lands, a region that has been contested territory for centuries: Hundreds of kingdoms have risen and fallen in these lands, and now it is time for you to make your mark—by building your own kingdom! To do so, you’ll need to survive the harsh wilderness and the threat of rival nations… as well as threats within your own court.

Customize your character with a wide range of classes and powers including specialized archetypes, powerful arcane and divine spells, choosing from a multitude of class abilities, skills, and feats. Pathfinderallows players to create heroes (or villains) that fit both their individual gameplay styles and their personalities.

Meet a diverse cast of companions and NPCs, including iconic characters from the Pathfindersetting itself. You’ll need to decide who to trust and who to watch carefully, as each companion has an agenda, alignment, and goals that may differ from yours. Your journey will become their journey, and you’ll help shape their lives both in the moment and well into the future.

Conquer new regions as claim them as your own, carving your kingdom from the wilderness. While classic dungeon crawling and exploration lie at the heart of this adventure, diplomacy, politics, and kingdom development are also part of the challenge. Choose your allies well, and keep them close while exploring ancient tombs and ruins — and while dealing with politics in your own court.

Your kingdom is a reflection of your character and your choices throughout the game. It is a living thing shaped by your alignment, your allies, and your ability to lead your people. Not only can your kingdom expand, opening up new territories and allowing you to build new towns and communities, but your capital city will physically change based on your decisions, your policies, and even whom you choose to ally with. As your kingdom grows, a number of factions and neighboring countries will come to you to seek favor—and to test your strength.

Explore – Conquer – Rule!

The Pathfinder role-playing game is an evolution of the 3.5 rules set of the world’s oldest fantasy roleplaying game, designed by Paizo, Inc using the feedback of tens of thousands of gamers just like you. Whether you’re new to the Pathfinder universe or you’re a seasoned veteran, Pathfinder: Kingmaker is the CRPG you’ve been waiting for.

Was this game any good tho?

Had a rough launch, but once the devs got it fixed up, I've heard an awful lot of glowing reviews of it. I'm willing to bet it's good, though I've been waiting for the definitive edition, myself, to see.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Co-op? (too lazy to read)

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I've been waiting for this. I love Pathfinder. It's essentially D&D2.5 gone mad. As a fan of Baldur's Gate II and Icewind Dale and Ultima, this modern renaissance of isometric WRPGs is like a dream come true.

So is this DE edition a free upgrade on PC? i could then just buy the game right now like with divinity? or u gotta pay for it.

Been wanting to give this a go. Sweet.

I don't think they've specified that yet, but I strongly suspect it'll be free.

being able to switch between real time and turn based is pretty cool addition

The primary new addition to the console version of the game is the ability to switch from the main game's real-time combat into a turn-based mode that should offer more precise control on a gamepad.

Adapting the tabletop role-playing game of the same name, Pathfinder recreates much of the real-life game in digital form, and allows you to conquer and manage a kingdom alongside its dungeon-crawling.
