Paizo, the renowned company behind the Pathfinder role-playing game, has partnered with Canadian studio BKOM Studios to produce two new video games based on the Pathfinder franchise. While Starfinder fans are disappointed not to be included in this partnership, there is hope for the future. BKOM Studios is an award-winning developer behind games like Overloot, Little Lords of Twilight, and Tales From Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation.

The partnership is exciting news for the Pathfinder community, as Paizo has done an excellent job of managing the community's expectations in light of recent events with Wizards of the Coast and the OGL Debacle. Meanwhile, BKOM Studios has a full range of digital services for state-of-the-art games, including video trailers, social media marketing campaigns, and AR/VR experiences. The team comprises over 120 individuals, with expertise in computer, console, and mobile gaming.

At least one of the two new Pathfinder games will be launched on Steam later this year, with the second still in the early stages of development. Paizo and BKOM Studios promise to reveal more details soon, and fans are already speculating about what to expect. While BKOM Studios is not a triple-A studio, I believe it will produce quality games that suit the Pathfinder franchise well. Paizo has a reputation for working with companies and individuals who serve the brand, the community and not profit at all costs.

While the news has been disappointing for Starfinder fans, there is still hope for the future. Starfinder would make an excellent video game in several genres, and Paizo has said on their twitter that they are looking at opportunities around Starfinder.

In summary, the partnership between Paizo and BKOM Studios is a significant development for the Pathfinder community. While some fans are disappointed that Starfinder was not included in the partnership, there is hope for the future. BKOM Studios has a proven track record of producing quality games, and fans can't wait to see what they'll do with the Pathfinder franchise.
