Pathfinder: Kingmaker for PC is an RPG and the first game developed by Owlcat Games, a studio that was established in 2016. Owlcat Games is made of experienced developers who previously worked on games like Etherlords, Heroes Of Might & Magic V, Skyforge, and Silent Storm. The game was created in cooperation with Chris Avellone, a veteran developer who worked on fan-favourite games like Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout 2, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - Sith Lords.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker is based on the Pathfinder tabletop RPG system that was created and published in 2009 by Paizo Publishing. It is a somewhat expanded and modified version of the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 system. Creators of the tabletop original have worked closely with the team behind the PC adaptation of the system.
