Just as D&D 3.5 brought us reams of classic games, from The Temple of Elemental Evil to Neverwinter Nights, the ruleset's descendent in Pathfinder is building its own videogame legacy. Owlcat's Pathfinder: Kingmaker proved successful despite its early technical issues, and the sequel is already making a massive mark on Steam.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous launched just a few hours ago as of this post, and has already reached a peak concurrent player count of 34,324, as SteamDB shows.
