Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a single-player role-playing game by Owlcat Games. You lead the Fifth Crusade against demons from the World Wound. Character creation, companions and far-reaching decisions shape your path through Golarion.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous was released for PC on Sep 2, 2021. PS4, Xbox One and a Switch cloud version followed on Sep 29, 2022. The native PS5 version was released on Mar 28, 2024.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is available for Windows and macOS, PS4, PS5 and Xbox One. The Xbox One version also runs on Xbox Series X|S thanks to backward compatibility, without being a separate Series version.

On Nintendo Switch, the role-playing game is streamed only. A stable internet connection is therefore required throughout the entire game.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous combines isometric exploration with tactical party combat. You can switch between real-time with pause and turn-based rounds during fights. Positioning, spells and the roles of your companions determine the strategy.

Six major expansions add extra stories and game variants to the main campaign. Inevitable Excess covers challenges beyond the end of the campaign, Through the Ashes follows survivors in Kenabres, and The Treasure of the Midnight Isles adds an island voyage with its own rules.

The Last Sarkorians introduces the companion Ulbrig. The Lord of Nothing continues events from Through the Ashes. A Dance of Masks brings the party back to Kenabres for a new adventure and personal encounters. The Game of the Year Edition includes all six expansions.

On Windows, Steam lists at least 6 GB RAM, a GeForce 940M and 50 GB of free storage. 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti are recommended. For macOS, at least 6 GB RAM and 55 GB of storage are listed. The current Steam client requires a supported operating system on Windows.

As the campaign progresses, your hero can grow beyond ordinary class abilities. Mythic paths such as Angel, Demon, Lich, Aeon or Azata unlock different powers and affect the story. Becoming a mortal legend is also among the options.

The character editor offers 25 classes and twelve playable races. Talents, spells, subclasses and equipment allow very different characters. Choices made when levelling up affect which roles your character can take on in the party.

More than ten companions can join the crusade. They have their own abilities, beliefs and stories. Conversations and decisions shape which relationships form and how individual characters react to the course of the story.

Between adventures, you manage troops and lead the crusade against the demons. Alongside your party's battles, there is a separate strategic combat system with armies and commanders. Military decisions complement the story side of the campaign.

The Enhanced Edition added controller support on PC, an inventory search, more ways to customise armour and expanded epilogues, among other things. On Sep 29, 2022, owners of the PC version received these improvements for free.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous offers German menus and on-screen text. The voice acting is available in English. Other text languages include French, Spanish, Russian, Italian and Portuguese.

The Enhanced Edition includes the updated base game. The Game of the Year Edition adds the six major expansions and several free add-on packs. These additional stories and game modes belong to the same RPG.
