Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Console Release Date Confirmed for 1 March 2022

New gameplay trailer - unveiled today - showcases companion cast, mythic transformations, combat systems and more

Owlcat Games and META Publishing have released a new trailer for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, inviting players to save a dark and gritty demon-infested world from ruin.

After an incredible $2m Kickstarter campaign and successful beta release, the console version of the game is launching on 1 March 2022 on Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

To celebrate the console release date, a new trailer was premiered during Microsoft’s Twitchgaming Showcase: ID@Xbox revealing the main villain and companion cast that will interact with the players on their journeys; details about the new characters, gameplay mechanics and mythic transformations were also unveiled.

To fight against the demonic invasion, players will choose a mythic path, which grants them a unique skill set, followed by a distinct narrative arc - ultimately leading them to their mythic transformation.
As Commander (i.e. leader of the group),  players can become a celestial angel, raging demon, powerful lich, a cunning trickster, otherworldly aeon, a rebellious Azata, a wise gold dragon, an insatiable Swarm-That-Walks, or remain a mortal and walk the arduous path toward becoming a living legend.  

Mythic transformations allow players to increase the rank of their chosen path earning new skills and abilities; it also has an impact on the world around them including the capital city and largest fortress in the game: Drezen.
