Pathfinder: Kingmaker launches for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 18
During today's IGN Expo Day 1 streaming event, Owlcat Games revealed that Pathfinder: Kingmaker Definitive Edition will launch for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 18.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker is an isometric computer RPG based on the Pathfinder pen-and-paper game, successfully Kickstarted in 2017 by Owlcat Games. It originally released in 2018, but the game was woefully undercooked at launch. After some much-needed patching, we ultimately ended up quite positive on the game.
The console version will notably include a turn-based mode in addition to real-time w/ pause. While Pathfinder: Kingmaker did not officially support turn-based on PC, there is a well-received user mod, which perhaps acted as a source of inspiration for the port. Definitive Edition also includes all of the PC version DLC included with the game.
Check out the new trailer below, alongside a description of the Definitive Edition contents and set of screenshots.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker takes players on tour through the infamous Stolen Lands, the dangerous and turbulent territories well known within Pathfinder fandom. The computer RPG revisits familiar characters and well-known locations of the "series" lore and treats players to brand new adventures, deadly foes, and unforeseen twists and turns. Fans of the fantasy pen-and-paper RPG will experience its epic, heroic universe in new ways while computer RPG gamers will discover their favorite genre in a more contemporary light, in stunning 3D graphics that bring the universe to life.Pathfinder: Kingmaker will challenge players as both adventurers and rulers as they claim explored lands and carve their kingdom from the wilderness. Kingdom founding goes beyond simple stronghold-building to become a true reflection of the hero’s character and choices made throughout the game. Each kingdom is a living thing shaped by alignment, choices, allies, and the hero’s ability to lead his or her people.
