Pathfinder Online

Pathfinder Online is an upcoming MMORPG based on the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Completion of development is uncertain due to layoffs of most of the development team and no major publishers signed.[1]

Development

A computer game adaptation of the Pathfinder universe, Pathfinder Online, was launched on November 27, 2012 by Goblin Works and Paizo and was successful in attracting Kickstarter crowdfunding[2][3] in 2013 to finance its development.[4] An official alpha test was announced in late June 2014.[5] Early enrollment was announced on July 29, 2015.[6]

On September 2, 2015, Lisa Stevens, acting CEO of Goblinworks and CEO of Paizo Publishing announced layoffs at Goblinworks of most of the Pathfinder Online development team.[7] As of March 2016, the project was in the process of transitioning to a new developer.[8]
