Even in a post-Baldur’s Gate 3 afterglow, I really like Owlcat’s 2021 CRPG epic, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. It is a sport so good, I did not thoughts replaying its opening act thrice. At the same time as Owlcat gears up for its subsequent main launch, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Dealer, the studio’s nonetheless lining up Wrath of the Righteous’ fifth DLC growth.
The Lord of Nothing is a sequel to WotR’s second DLC, By way of The Ashes, which launched again in April 2022. By way of the Ashes is a difficult, low-level journey that takes place on the periphery of that chaotic first act I really like a lot. As a substitute of slicing by means of demon-invaded Kenabres and saving the day, you are a schlub attempting to remain alive in a warzone.
The Lord of Nothing will conclude that story, which facilities DLC-exclusive companions Rekarth and Sendri, and appears to take you out into the frozen wastes of Sarkoris, the fallen barbarian nation explored in WotR’s later acts.
My curiosity was positively piqued by the trailer’s inclusion of the primary sport’s battle desk, companions Seelah, Lann, and Regill, in addition to what seems to be a participant character on the head. My guess is that The Lord of Nothing will unlock new scenes in the primary sport or, extra excitingly, function a cameo out of your participant celebration as NPCs.
The Lord of Nothing is ready to launch on November 21, a bit of over two weeks earlier than Rogue Dealer is ready to reach on December 7. With growth timelines solely rising longer, it is wild to see Owlcat sustain a blistering tempo of bigass RPGs, with Kingmaker in 2018, WotR in 2021, DLC for each sprinkled all through, and now Rogue Dealer. Owlcat’s earlier RPGs positively suffered a bit for it on launch, however I am hopeful Rogue Dealer will maintain up higher on day one.
