I mistakenly thought recently that the new project was confirmed to be Starfinder, and excitedly shared news of that on the Starfinder subreddit. The official Paizo account confirmed that wasn't the case, but also - very interestingly - mentioned that the game isn't associated with them at all. It's not Starfinder, but it's also not Pathfinder.

What do you all make of this?


UPDATE: Paizo have further added that Owlcat are 'free to work with whoever they want' (https://www.reddit.com/r/starfinder_rpg/comments/uydx4z/a_starfinder_crpg_is_in_development_from_owlcat/iac68xl?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3). Could easily mean nothing more than that, but the wording there makes me wonder if Owlcat are working on a license from a different company rather than their own new IP?

Yeah, if I could make a wish, I'd also to like them doing another Pathfinder story. Or Starfinder. Both would be fine.

Re-work the RPG-system under the hood with the experience they have now, completely re-write the most messy parts, to iron out the kinks, then go on doing what we know they can do very well.

Three games in a row in the same setting would be tiresome for both the team and players. Fatique is a real thing. So we wanted to go for something new. That's not the only reason of course, but definitely one of.

This is very much understandable, especially since so many things got tried out.

And I pretty much assume that trying to ride a computerized Pathfinder-TTRPG body of rules for all eternity can be a pretty tiresome thing.

I just hope you'll do a branching story that takes so many things into consideration and allows so many things to do again. You delievered (overdelivered!) what CDPR had promised/failed to do on Cyberpunk 2077! I hope for more of such a interestingly broad RPG.

Just keep it interesting for the sake of all of us.

Let's just say: if you like PF1&2, you won't be disappointed :)
