[@RyDarrick1]

I really hope Rogue Trader will be a financial success. Love this game and it deserves way more attention.

[@kaastue]

It's still in the top 50 of games per Revenue on Steam (it was in the top 10 for the first week or two). So I'd imagine that the sales have more that recouped the development costs with that kind of day 1 sales alone. I might be wrong tho, but it's a grim world if being top 10 in sales on the biggest gaming platform isn't enough to make you profitable.

[@kenneththomas2580]

its bugged to all hell I couldnt finish it

[@xxan84]

For me it was well below their previous game, wrath of the righteous. In Rogue Trader I did not even like the classes and how they worked, Only by the end of the game I at least started to get what's what. Companions where below that from wrath, combat was TB and I prefer rtwp, the music was league above in wrath. Never had gamebraking bugs in wrath (perhaps other had, don't know), in rogue trader had to cheat my way trough some bugs with a mod. Hope they get back to something similar to wrath for their next game. Just make sure I can go myth again, loved that shit. My dream is a game like wrath but with the quality of everything from Baldur's Gate 3. Even if its TB.

[@thegombie]

I don't see them breaking it into the mainstream without going full voiced. Until they make that transition I feel like they will be stuck where they've been.

[@xxan84]

@@thegombie Its not as much as voice as it is graphics, art, whatever. Try this, go in game, go to character, pan lady navigator (whatever her name was) imagine so you can see her head from the side (focus on face) and tell me what the hell is that "thing".

[@Gouldblum]

Classic warhammer would be a neat setting for an Owlcat game

[@brassjailor]

I'd love to see a PF 2nd Ed game. It kind of would bring things back to basics with a set of APs to choose from.

[@Theinvalidmusic]

Yeah, agreed. Literally my only grumble with WOTR is that it was still on the old 1e rules, and while they're fine, I really like all the refinement Paizo put into 2e, especially the new remaster that just launched the other month.

[@Elishia14]

World of Darkness rpg would be awesome. Owlcat would do the setting justice and, seeing as Bloodlines 2 is probably going to be abysmal product I think they could easily topple that.

[@edwardoliveira1748]

Omg that would be perfect!!!

[@johnwhitehouse4546]

Honestly surprised no-ones done an RPG of this style using the WoD IP before as its perfect for it, with dozen of possibilities and spin-offs that could be made for it.

[@Minnzy]

I am honestly baffled why such a game hasn't been done yet. Hopefully the success of so many RPG's lately give the right people a kick in the butt they deserve and they get started.

[@Pixie1001.]

@@sethrougen8968I mean, WoTR has had 6 DLCs over 2 years, so that really isn't that far off from Paradox's publishing approach of a new DLC every quarter. And I think they'd be more than happy to do it just to breath some new life into the IP they brought, and introduce the setting to Pathfinder and 40k fans that got into the hobby after Vampire's time in the sun had passed into being more of a cult classic setting than a mainstream 'nerdy' brand. Really the only reason Paradox DLC feels so abusive is because they support their successful games with such a long tail end, that they eventually wrack up dozens of expansions stacking on top of each other before the project is abandoned (which does obviously lead to a lot of balance issues for their strategy games though when new updates need to account for such a huge swarth of optional content and playstyles that owner of the base game might not have access to).

[@phoenixfeiren7639]

@@Pixie1001. The difference is that Paradox games feel incomplete without DLCs, while Owlcat DLCs tend to be entirely skippable.

Need more Rogue Trader... So much more Rogue Trader 😂 Rogue Trader 2 and 3 and 5. Need Orks!!! 🤣 Am biased. Am happy to play RT. Will pay whatever for more gems like this. Am going back to my "basement" for the rest of the year to forget real world exists. For The Emperor, Brothers!

[@Soapylemonlad845]

I am curios as to what they will do next, but beyond fixing up Rogue Trader I am not sure what IP I would like to see them do next. Maybe they will do their own that could be interesting.

[@HallowedKhaos91]

I'd like to see them doing something in the LOTR universe. There's so much potential for awesome stories a cool adventures. Plus they couldn't possibly bastardize the IP more than Amazon has.

[@MichaelWard-le1ck]

Lords of the rings is way too low power for crpgs. There’s not much in terms of classes and spells compared to other fantasy out there. There’s fantasy much, much more in depth than lotr like malazan

[@kettelbe]

​@MichaelWard-le1ck looool fellowship of the rings? Allo? Lol

[@obiwankenobi9439]

Hes right. No fireballs or magic forcefields or green alchemist firebombs. Lotr is LOW MAGIC high fantasy

[@jamesmckenna4460]

More rogue trader and 40k :) a 30k rogue trader would be very different and cool. Lotsa more aliens and humanity at a much more advanced place

[@SK133Zangetsu]

I hope they will make more 40K CRPG like Dark Heresy or Wrath & Glory.

[@TuanHoang-zy7of]

I can see they work with GWs again and make Warhammer fantasy CRPG. An advanture like Gotrek and Felix but with a more diverse cast including many different race and classes sounds awesome.

[@paulboulanger5]

Was basically going to suggest Warhammer fantasy also.

[@Soowa124]

I sure hope so!

[@matthewbartreau7699]

Yes!!

[@Scarecr0wn]

Switching to UE is to be expected I think. Many devs are switching to literally everything that is not Unity. Hope Owlcat will remain in sci-fi realm for awhile.

[@shawngillogly6873]

Owlcat has had these positions listed since well before Unity's shenanigans. So this isn't tied to that.

[@misanthropicattackhelicopt4148]

Unity really shot themselves in the head with that dumb decision.

[@Shad0000w]

Yeah, the Starfinder setting would be really interesting to see from Owlcats. Also, it would be cool if they made a DLC for rogue trader based on one of the tabletop adventures, like lure of the expanse.

[@strenghtbracer1826]

I want as much dlcs for rogue trader as possible. I'll buy them all no matter what. The game is absolutely superb.

[@user-if7zm]

Best part of the game is that combat is actually really fun.

[@Rabarbarzynca]

This game need more Dakka... Wacky ork dlc would be great. 😊

[@yof106]

Unless you are not referring to ttg, my guess is it's automated, that's why it's fun. Same goes for shadow run. When you have equations, no matter how simple, it takes form fun, simply based on the fact that you have to do the math every time. Call me names, but that's one of the main reasons why 5e is so popular and it's player base exploded. @@vincentcrow6075

[@Corusame]

I'd like more W40k CRPG's like Rogue Trader but taken from the perspective of other races and factions (Eg. Chaos space marines, Aeldari, Tau, Orks).

[@eternalfaeri1415]

Hell, even GW don’t pay those races nearly enough attention (in terms of Black Library books especially). I’m sick of the major focus being on Space Marines. They don’t even have to shift the focus from the Imperium, just show some love to the Adeptus Mechanicus or the Assasinorum. I personally would love for a book centring around the Eldar in particular, but honestly any perspective other than that of humanity is welcome at this point.

[@standupstathentes6842]

That's a great idea. Like Tyranny crpg. Chaos campaign would be very cool.

[@Aggerr]

Feel like it would be hard to do given how inflexible many parts of the Warhammer 40k universe is. Rogue Traders is the only immediate thing I can think off with enough freedom and power to do CRPG things, and that's because they were specifically designed for that kinda thing. I'm honestly quite sad at how little they made use of the freedom to have Xenos in their party which Rogue Traders have, even a Sslyth such as Malice would have made more sense than the Drukhari. And now it seems they are going with another Imperial faction for the next companion

[@Acesahn]

@@eternalfaeri1415 So you should want more Rogue Trader lol. That's literally what Rogue Trader is, it explores the Imperium and the unexplored and chaotic corners of space from a non Space Marine perspective. The potential for a Rogue Trader setting is near endless. Want the Space Marines involved? You can totally write that. Want to uncover a unique Eldritch horror? Say this planet has a warp god you have to deal with. Everything from a campy Star Trek episode to pure body horror lol, you can easily write it all.

[@peters6345]

​​@@standupstathentes6842battlefleet gothic made a dlc it failed bigtime. Most people dont want to play an irredeemable badguy. I'd love to see an eldar centric dlc but again might not be popular enough

[@Taranchule]

So many possibilities. Another Pathfinder 1E or Warhammer The Old World RPG seem the most likely to me. I'd especially love The Old World, seeing as it's at last rising from it's tabletop grave next year. You want to hear my absolute pie-in-the-sky, never-in-a-milion-years dream game from Owlcat? Greyhawk. They GET the old school D&D vibe like no other studio does these days, not even Larian. To have Owlcat tackle Gary Gygax's own setting and do it justice would be a dream come true for me.

[@avalokiteshvara113]

Please, no more pf1e

[@marinazinovic2113]

I think the next project might be Warhammer Fantasy, it also uses a similar system to Rogue Trader from what I know. And a Warhammer Fantasy CRPG is widely requested. As for DLC I think after next year RT might get a citadel style DLC if it sells well for WOTR and another xeno companion DLC (Either Ork Freeboota or Eldar Corsair)

[@stephenjenkins7971]

WHFB seems very unlikely. Fantasy is too low fantasy for what Owlcat usually works with. Maybe Age of Sigmar but idk.

[@АйдоралСмертестойкий]

I would love them to explore Warhammer fantasy but honestly if I see a CRPG with Owlcat name attached to it it is a must buy for me. They know how to make them great.

[@eternalfaeri1415]

Warhammer Fantasy is so under appreciated

[@charleslister8465]

Yeah me too or even AOS

[@lancefox8232]

A Starfinder game would be at the top of my list. The could do the Dead Sun/Devastation Ark adventure path for a 1-20 experience. Start working on it now and release it around Starfinder 2e release.

[@Viverio7]

I really do hope for Starfinder or even Pathfinder set in Numeria. I like how they handled the mix of mysticism and technology in WotR's Numeria-themed encounters and in Rogue Trader both

[@xczechr]

A Starfinder CRPG would be most welcome.

[@begone2753]

Same here. But I think one of the most fun things in there are the 1000 Xenos you can play. And with everyone having a wide variety of very specialized skills, it would be hard to work it out.

[@dang879]

Hopefully more Rogue trader and Rogue trader 2.. too bad the next DLC isn't due till june of next year... gaaah such a wait.

[@Himewolf398]

Honestly, no matter what they're up to, I'll be keeping an eye out for them. They've quickly become one of my favorite developer studios.

[@magostarmus3705]

Really hoping for a WHFB cRPG or a 40K one that focuses on the Inquisition

[@Taranchule]

Dark Heresy would be amazing from Owlcat.

[@swe113]

I've been thinking the same, they already got the basis done and it would be a perfect fit

[@Riri_734]

Theres already 2 or more Inquisition RPGs, so personally i'd prefer they touch on some other occupation thats more obscure. Expanding on new lore is a good direction.

[@magostarmus3705]

@@Riri_734 2 or more? There's just "Martyr" which is a diablo clone. All I want is a proper cRPG. In the world of WH40K, Rogue Traders and Inquisitors are the only occupations that give you some degree of freedom of choice and travel. The only alternative I see here is a Tyranny clone featuring Imperial Guard, but cRPG about Inquisition opens more possibilities

[@miscast8180]

@@magostarmus3705 Imo they nailed the setting though in Inquisitor Martyr. And while it is an aRPG I feel like they explore the Inquisition and that part of the lore quite well.

[@fuzzythoughts8020]

I really hope they keep the pathfinder games going, WOTR is fantastic and I could really go for these games continually adding more and more until we have a character creator with scroll wheels on every list. I would greatly appreciate another low level campaign like kingmaker.

[@spencero3278]

I absolutely love wotr, but I recently loaded up kingmaker for the first time in years and the setting change was so refreshing. Only miss being able to rotate the camera, since I'm on Xbox so no mods

[@justmonica9253]

This is a personal wish, and I understand if they don't want to return to Golarion so don't expect it, but I think Rogue Trader has given a good framework for making a pf2e crpg. Pf2e demands turnbased, and I think it benefits greatly from grid combat. Rogue Trader is really good, so a game in the same vein for pf2e would absolutely work.

[@PorterPickUp]

I'd hope but their game director has said they dislike PF2E unfortunately.

[@kaastue]

Taking the pf2e ruleset and applying custom talents and abilities for it would make for a pretty compelling cprg experience. The action economy makes sense, and the mechanics are similar enough to other games that it's easy to pick up. However Owlcats seem to love number crunch in their games, and 2e Pathfinder is a bit lighter on that side, so we'll have to wait and see.

[@azarisLP]

@@PorterPickUp That was in 2017 when PF2E wasn't even out yet...

[@billthegenericguy]

This was my thought. Honestly the biggest problems with the Owlcat PF1 rpgs was level design based around rtwp when the system clearly should have been turn-based. Meanwhile the biggest problem with kingmaker, bugs aside, is the janky and unbalanced combat system. A dedicated turn-based PF2 rpg would solve both problems.

[@99Bobson]

Making PF2E when you already have 2 PF1E games would be extreme self sabotage PF2E cannot even DREAM to get to the same level of build customization, and feels extremely underwhelming, especially for people who got used to the power scaling of PF1E

[@Myndeex]

Wish they did proper IWD 3 or NWN 3 :-)

[@Mr.Glitch]

With The Old World on the horizon, a crpg based on that would be grand.

[@Zakharon]

hopefully a pathfinder 2nd edition game (i dont ever wanna see an enemy with 70+ ac again and please no more 5 min prebuffing) with no bs crusade or whatever system where we arent a king or a army commander, and if we gotta be let us be an adventurer for a bit bg1 style

[@ivoryowl]

IMO Owlcat games in general would benefit from modding tools like Bethesda did with theirs. I'm imagining a Vampire: The Masquerade title in this sort of playstyle and I think it would be pretty cool!

[@renynzea]

They added modding tools for rogue trader. It ships with a version of unity mod manager by default. They also have most of the source of rogue trader included with the game. So if you know how to mod unity games it is doable.

[@Mournivalofsons]

Outside of a year or two of content for Rogue Trader, I would love to see more games based on FFG's othter systems, specifically Deathwatch and Dark Heresy. Would love an Only War game as well, but that might be slightly harder for OwlCat, but I mean.... *Gaunt's Ghosts the crpg? yes please. *Used as an example for what an Only War game would look like.

[@Pers0n97]

Rogue Trader has a HUGE potential for more content and feature. - The act 2 hint as a real "sandbox" game in there. I think they could manage to rework a bit the game to have a RNG map (solar system) generator, with just the main story point fix. They would then just have to drop new planets (basically self contained dungeons and story lines) to expend that sandbox bit by bit, thus making the game way more replayable than it is right now. - Space combat could be expended A LOT too, mainly by letting you unlock a bigger ship (the one we have is abnormally small for a rogue trader) and letting you build, customize and control a proper fleet (two frigates and four smaller escorts). I'd also love to get more options for my ship, like having access to fighter and bomber bays for your ship. - More enemy factions. The game has a pretty decent bestiary, but they could spice things up by bringing the Necrons a bit sooner in the sandbox part of the game, expending them a bit (right now they are literally 5 units, which isn't much) and they could add more xenos races like the Orks our the more exotic Rak'Gols. Also one thing I've noticed is that the 2 announced DLC are basically 2 Dogmatic Followers, which is cool and all, but Heretic and Iconoclast could use some help (I feel like they dropped the ball by not making "the Commisar" and the Sslyth from act 3 be possible (and mutually exclusive) followers.

[@BubbleheadBoy]

I'd like to see them do the Iron Gods Campaign for PF1E or a proper Starfinder CRPG. They've teased Numeria in both Kingmaker and WotR. I want to go there!

[@chadraines1828]

I suspect Skull and Shackles will be made. The void ship combat gives them a template for the ship battles, for instance. But with a smaller scale to allow for better crew interaction in the battles.

[@AndRei-yc3ti]

I would like to see a DnD adaptation of Robert E Howards Conan the Barbarian. It would lend itself nicely to a cRPG. It would also sell well on the name alone

[@marcoboera5260]

Arcanum 2 or remake from Owlcat games would be a dream come true...

[@jrandula]

Starfinder would be fun setting, if there are adjustments to certain classes :D

[@NefariousKoel]

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. It's a d100 system with similarities to this 40k version so not a stretch.

[@BroBomba]

I know they just did a sci-fi setting, but I was really hoping for Starfinder when they announced they were doing a sci-fi game prior to the full blown 40K announcement. I'd be very happy to see that be done.

[@MadPutz]

The ACKSII RPG system would make a great permissive base for future Neverwinter Nights style CRPG experimentation. Hopefully both Autarch and Owlcat succeed enough to make it happen one day.

[@renynzea]

Part of me wants to see Pathfinder 3, so they complete it as a trilogy. Part of me wants to see a Starfinder. But I would really be interested to see what they would do if they go their own way, and come up with their own systems. I will say that 40k has a very compelling combat system. If they go their own way, I hope they keep a combat system that is similar to 40k. Feels a lot more interesting when you can take multiple actions per round.

[@markusschmidt1193]

I'd be so happy about them adding coop to their other two games but i think i've heard that's not going to happen. So Starfinder was on top on my list too but now that they have released Rogue Trader, i dont think that's gonna happen too. So maybe another Pathfinder game and hopefully this time with coop too

[@mintcoded]

Due to weird legal reasons and licensing, it is basically impossible for Kingmaker to ever be updated again. Wrath could happen, but it might be difficult or cost money for the effort.

[@TheDruidicMonkPlays]

I would love a Starfinder game, which I think is a real possibility. They could rotate between Paizo and Games Workshop licenses, keeping the games fresh with DLC, like they did with Wrath of the Righteous. And the next Games Workshop game doesn't have to be a Rogue Trader, tho I would be cool with that. It could be set in their Age of Sigmar (Fantasy) universe, or use Necromunda as a setting. So many options. Maybe they can do the next Shadowrun game. They seem to excel at taking tabletop games and turning them into fun CRPG experiences. I just looked at my bookshelf and saw tons of games that they coud turn into cool CRPGs. So whatever they do, I am going to play it!

[@MnemonicHack]

I would love more Pathfinder conyent from them, but I really hope it's 3.5 anf not 2e. A bit unlikely probably, but that's what I want. Would be awesome if they took a Spiderweb Software rout and made a Pathfinder game like Blades of Avernus, which would give people the resources to make their own adventuers.

[@CodexIndia1]

Hopefully fixing Rogue trader and adding some DLC. I'd love another CRPG in the WH40k universe too.

[@musguera]

I would love them to do a VtM or Shadowrun CRPG. But after the sucess of BG3 perhaps WotC could look for a dev to make NWN3, maybe Owlcat using Unreal Engine is for something like that.

[@scottbuswell7177]

Now just putting out there wahammer old world(fantasy)for games workshop is coming out next year so if there relationship with gw is good that could be an exciting I.p option

[@cagoenlaleche]

I would love to see an Aeldari expansion for Rogue Trader and a world of darkness crpg. I will probably be disappointed, but I certainly hope that they keep with quality content creation and never leaving the quality control aside.

[@WahyuHidayat-ct5cq]

Man I really want another Pathfinder but in Numerian. Numerian such a fascinating setting, mages with tech staff and laser gun with companion of Barbarian wielding possibly laser sword and android fighting giant scorpion robot.

[@Dereliction2]

Cheliax and Varisia are the most popular parts of the setting (or were), so APs involving them are much more likely. Kingmaker was previously the most popular AP, which is undoubtedly why they decided to go there. Numeria would be cool, but the appeal for most PF/D&D fans is significantly lower, which probably rules it out from just the marketing consideration. But who knows? After all, Wrath and all its zany epic gameplay was a bit of a surprise too.

[@SemperSalam]

More Warhammer would be great. I find this world so much more interesting than the pathfinder ones.

[@KimAlmighty1]

i would have loved a game where you play as the GodEmperor as he took earth and then DLC/Expansion could be Mars and the solar system and then other systems etc etc as DLC would be fun to play that :)

[@QuestcastPenandPaper]

Their next project will be Starfinder! They bring out a revised Corebook and Version 2 out that could be near a potential CRPG realease from Owlcat. Combined buzz would make sense and Paizo sees a future with their Starfinder world. Mark my words :)

[@jjbudinski8486]

Starfinder 2e might be the right system at the right time. These guys love the crunch though, maybe Burning Wheel, Shadowrun, Mythras, Cyberpunk 2020 could be cool.

[@zarthes]

Maybe because I'm enjoying Rogue Trader immensely and how well done the look into 40K it is, but...what about a Warhammer Fantasy or Age of Sigmar RPG? If you think Warhammer fans were chopping at the bits for a 40K RPG, there's likely just as many if not more looking for a Fantasy one.

[@coconutologist]

Maybe the success of BG3 will prompt other studios to buy Owlcat. Thanks for the video. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@nathanginos7895]

I'm with you on Starfinder, that would be awesome. Based on how well they adapted the Warhammer 40k universe I'd love to see them continue and bring the Deathwatch RPG to life as a CRPG.

[@drgcneg2602]

Warhammer fantasy crpg would be great

[@borat656]

I'm just not a fan of sci-fi. The aesthetic does nothing for me, and while I can attempt to rationalise it, at the end of the day it just comes down to the fact that I don't have much taste for it. As such, I will always hope for another fantasy game. I'm just a filthy, biased pleb like that. On another note, I've seen the phrase, "WotR will be hard to top" thrown around a lot, but it's a sentiment I can't get behind. Why does WotR *need* to be topped? What does 'topping' it mean? While WotR improved on a lot of aspects of Kingmaker, I don't think it's wrong to say that both games have very different feelings in their stories and progression, and if somebody said they preferred Kingmaker's more grounded campaign over the epicness of WotR, I wouldn't think them wrong for having that thought (not dissimilar from the way that BG2 is more talked about than BG1, though BG1 has so much its own flavour that many still prefer it!). I don't think there's any reason that Owlcat can't execute another Pathfinder campaign well enough that it won't have its own charms and qualities that make it stand on its own!

[@andrewbrian7659]

Unless they go in a completely different direction, I would expect to see combat based cRPG with some realm-managemnet involved. There is less realm management in Rogue Trader, but the fact that some exists makes me feel like that's the niche they are carving out for themselves. It would feel weird for Owlcat to make something like a band of adventurers travelling around together a la DOS2 or BG3 from Larian. If they go back to Pathfinder but in 2E, Extinction Curse or Outlaws of Alkenstar I could see fitting in to that theme, either you taking over the Circus or the Crime Syndicate. Honestly, the second one could be really interesting if done well but I'm not sure. I'm not sure that I know of any other ruler-on-the-frontlines high fantasy RPG settings, but I really like this style of game play, so I hope that if they can't find any, they are able to make their own.

[@leyasu888]

I hope they get back to making pathfinder games

[@RafaelLoki]

W40K has such amazing setting. I just want another High Fantasy extreme TRPG. I think Vampire The Masquerade would be cool with a nore CRPG system. A new IP with high Dark fantasy with Rogue T battle too.

[@oriori7859]

Would totally love a Vampire: The Masquerade CRPG by them (partly because its the only TTRPG-system I know well besides Rogue Trader)

[@iheuzio]

I honestly think owlcat would be able to make a pathfinder version of neverwinter nights, a lot of people are interested in that and paizo should capitalize on the popularity of the crpg landscape right now. Hasbro has a bit of financial trouble, so wotc had some positions cut sadly, despite being one of their biggest revenue streams. Now's the time paizo should be trying to get ahead of wizard of the coast's vtt and other projects. I wish for a future neverwinter nights game based on wrath of the righteous' system but ported from unity. Hopefully one day this becomes a reality.

[@theshadowcult]

If paizo could get them to make a pathfinder 2e game, it would be a huge marketing boon for the table top game. I think owlcat have garnered a pretty decent amount of clout by now.

[@Darkholow]

I want more Pathfinder modules, because I loved Kingmaker and WOTR way more than Rogue Trader.

[@BirdXYZ]

I would absolutely love a Starfinder game, seems like a very fun setting.

[@eldritchedward]

Only if they don't use the same rules. They're very shallow and the spaceship combat doesn't work. Like, at all.

[@TheHorreK2]

WotR having a Citadel-Like DLC makes me really wonder how a "Swarm" or "Lich" character works in it

[@pinnacleevolution1634]

I'm sure they can raise some skellies out of a grave or something to toast with them.

[@benjaminwaite5970]

I like the idea of them making their own IP. Maybe more risky but I think they have a big enough fan base to support them, I've kick-started Wotr and Rouge Trader. Obsidian with PoE is a good example I think. But, only time will tell.

[@txflood2519]

Is Obsidian a good example tho? We're talking about a developer who was on the brink for a decade, mainly surviving by making games for other studios. Pillars 1 did fine margins-wise but was a decidedly low budget game. Deadfire was larger in scope and budget but flopped pretty hard. Since then the only noteworthy release is Outer Worlds.

[@benjaminwaite5970]

@txflood2519 Point. But thats why I said Obsidian with PoE, they had only worked on other peoples IP before then, also Grounded I think, did well? I didn't mean to imply they should copy their whole play book just setup their own universe, more control, and profit for them, assuming it makes money.

[@armelior4610]

Well the most obvious would be another 40k RPG like Dark heresy, or something for the fantasy version (only Total war is well known for this one). Call of Chtulu and World of darkness would be cool, but they're not really geared towards munchkinism and epic combat so Owlcat would have to take a different approach, which I hope is not asking too much after 3 games focused on combat. I think they have the writers to pull it off.

[@haroldgodwinsonshouldhavew3875]

A star wars crpg would be nice...

[@boy-lb9he]

Would likely never happen but would love to see Owlcat try a hand at a fallout 1 or 2 remake, would be like a revival of a old classic by a prominent new developer.

Always had faith in Owlcat since Kingmaker. They and Larian are the only studios I really trust right now.

I for one want them to do something completely original, or at least not based on TTRPG rules so they can design their own combat system instead of trying to fit round peg in square hole and porting one to video game

[@pockystyx4087]

still hoping that we eventually get a Pathfinder 2e game . But I can’t say I wouldn’t be interested in an owlcat original title.

[@kaastue]

I'd definitely like to see Owlcat take a shot at making another WH40k game, just in a different setting. They have the base game mechanics already done, so utilizing them for another rpg would make sense. But maybe it would be too similar mechanically so they don't want to do that?

[@JustinFike]

My dream scenario is that Owlcat is given the license to bring us the first Pathfinder 2nd Edition crpg! That ruleset would translate so much better to a pc game, and they could deploy it with one of the more popular adventure paths that have been updated like Rise of the Runelords.

[@jacknkh]

While it should be next to impossible, but I would like to see a CRPG based on Fallout series.

[@PaulSpurgeon]

Owlcat is pretty much my favorite video game developer right now.

[@elmonarcoful]

I hope we get another Shadowrun CRPG one day. Ideally with a budget like BG 3 but that'll probably never happen. It would be really great to have one in Owlcat's style

[@EldarQueen40k]

Just give me a fucking eldar focused 40k game already someone anyone i beg of you

[@TJPavey]

Wouldn’t mind a pathfinder 2e game if they go back to that setting.

[@natehammondtrio]

I just want Owlcat or Larian to make a Star Wars epic

[@vitormauch7367]

Would it be any good with the current garbage SW lore?

[@jeffdietz630]

I know they said otherwise, but someone needs to bring pf2e to pc.

[@fubar395]

A Star Wars crpg by Owlcat or Larian would be huge. The possibilities would be endless. I can only hope. 🤞

[@deaj8450]

A more nuanced and detailed Kotor, with more choices and all sorts of character classes? Sign me up.

[@spellandshield]

Although WOTR would be hard to top do not underestimate Owlcat...it is still possible and I hope for it.

[@Meepyvern]

I'm certainly looking forward to what they are looking forward to doing in the future! All 3 of their games have been enjoyable for me. Rogue Trader has been the most enjoyable for me personally, so I'm really looking forward to these next dlcs!

[@gnomedeguerre2482]

ShadowRun please

[@urahi830]

well a warhammer fantasy trpg would be nice

[@acasal98]

A Pathfinder 2E CRPG is all I need...

[@mordhev]

I'd be down for an extra multiplayer mode on Rogue Trader where you're just doing a series of combat rooms, much like a dungeon and advance your character. It could even be roguelike. That or even something like Dawn of War's Last Stand on turn-based.

[@Renkaru]

Id love a Warhammer Fantasy RPG game

[@JulioFrosi]

Hopefully another pathfinder.

[@MichaelGalt]

Hmmm. I doubt it is a brand new IP, when you consider how hard it is to make something like that succeed. I would bet it is another project with Paizo... considering how well they did with both Pathfinder games.

[@renynzea]

That would be my guess as well. They will probably want another 1-2 established IP games under their belt before they come up with their own system, though I would not be surprised if they have a developer or two prototyping their own system while they work on said games.

[@MichaelGalt]

@renynzea Yeah, I mean, there are very few examples of original IP which really did well, at least for RPGs. I think only Bioware managed it, with Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Ok, Bethesda, with Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. When you compare that to the KOTOR games, Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Cyberpunk, The Witcher... really hard to decide to take that path where you don't have a built in fan base. I love Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader... but it is definitely not at the same level as BG3 or Cyberpunk. Definitely an example of an AA game, not AAA. Going to Unreal engine... doesn't necessarily mean 1st person... but it sort of suggests that, no?

[@johngirdlestone6300]

The change from Unity might also be fallout from the previous CEO trying to retroactively change the licensing costs to developers that has scared away a few other studios that I’d say were similar size to Owlcat. Even though the CEO has been fired, there’s a few people on the board of that company that are causing some developers to treat Unity’s about face in light of that scandal with extreme skepticism.

[@shawngillogly6873]

It may accelerate their desire to do this. But these positions were advertised from before Rogue Trader was even announced. So it predates that.

[@vanweapon]

World of darkness crpg would be awesome, since og bloodlines there's been very little in that setting and it's the dnd-like setting I find the most interesting. That being said, if they have the GW seal of approval to make more warhammer, given The Old World is making a return to tabletop, that could be another great environment for a crpg

[@topsnek1375]

I would love a star wars crpg but i doubt Disney would let them tbh

[@fantazjo]

if i'm not mistaken ea no longer have exclusive rights and that's why others can work their magic but disney is a very jealous company and someone making anything better than their trilogy (extremely low bar) without messing with canon and lore on anything could piss them off

[@thibaultmeyer5092]

I would love a Starfinder game so much. I'm such a fan of that setting, it's less popular for sure but it's so good

[@lordzagnias1945]

A warhammer fantasy, 40k from a different race (or chaos or even from an Inquisitor's perspective), a pathfinder game (some kind of apocalypse? Idrk pathfinder campaigns to be honest but with their love of building/management apocalypse fits in.), or a Stars Without Number game would be amazing.

[@Quethonable]

I really hope it’s another Pathfinder game in the works, and they finally add in the bolas, hand crossbow and other weapons which have been named in feats since Kingmaker

[@javiernovoa8756]

Starfinder is set for a 2e revamp, ala Pathfinder, in 2025. Both systems would be compatible with each other and it might spark a new interest in it. Video game for launch would boost that profile. One can dream.

[@erikskoog8415]

Good show sir

[@JackVo]

Do another pathfinder plz

[@accade_acaso]

I'm curios about their next project, I'm still playing WOTR without the dlcs and I'll admit I'm not very lured to the warhammer universe so... keeping and ear out for some news 😊
