London, February, 2025 – Megabit Publishing is proud to announce its partnership with BKOM Studios to bring co-op Hack-and-Slash ARPG Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults to market.
Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults is an Action RPG with a focus on storytelling, hero customization, and teamplay in which up to four players guide a team of brave heroes into the depths of the mysterious Abomination Vaults on a deadly quest to banish the dark sorceress Belcorra Haruvex and thwart her plans to unleash an army of abominations on an unsuspecting world.
This announcement highlights the growing excitement surrounding the Pathfinder IP, a globally recognized franchise with a passionate fanbase. The game's community has already achieved notable milestones with over 5,000 backers from a successful Kickstarter campaign.
Megabit Publishing and BKOM Studios are both part of Aonic, a global gaming and tech group uniting elite teams to build the next gaming powerhouse. Megabit is the publisher of multiple upcoming titles including Thick As Thieves, a new take on stealth from the creative minds behind Thief and Deus Ex, which debuted at The Game Awards in 2024.
Through close collaboration between BKOM Studios and Megabit Publishing, Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults is well-positioned to reward the community's enthusiasm by delivering the first-ever Pathfinder Action RPG.
Setting:
The wicked Belcorra Haruvex haunts her forsaken home of Gauntlight Keep. Centuries ago, she threatened the world with an army of monsters, beasts, and abominations, only to be defeated by four brave heroes. But her magic and malice have brought her back to the world as a ghost—and her army has only grown stronger in her absence.
Now Belcorra is ready to take revenge against those who wronged her in life. Brave heroes are needed to venture forth into the undiscovered depths of Gauntlight Keep—a sprawling megadungeon teeming with foul monsters—to defeat Belcorra’s army and put her wicked soul to rest once and for all.
Players control and customize four iconic heroes of the Pathfinder universe, whose stories will unfold as they advance ever deeper into the dungeon.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Paizo to bring the beloved Pathfinder IP to gamers worldwide with the launch of Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults,” said Benjie Clarke, Managing Director of Global Publishing at Megabit.
Serge Mongeau, CEO of BKOM Studios, also shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Megabit Publishing to bring our vision for Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults to life. This project represents one of the most exciting endeavors I’ve ever had the privilege to work on, and we can’t wait to share it with players around the world. Together with our passionate community, we are committed to delivering an unforgettable gaming experience and look forward to the moment players take the controller in their hands.”
“We’re unbelievably excited to work with BKOM Studios and Megabit to bring Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults to the world stage,” said Paizo Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Erik Mona, “Abomination Vaults is one of Pathfinder’s most popular and iconic Adventure Paths, and we can’t wait to see the wonders—and horrors—players discover in Gauntlight Keep.”
Features:
- Enter the Mega Dungeon: Delve deep into a sprawling mega dungeon beneath Gauntlight Keep. The Vaults are divided into several distinct biomes, each comprising its own chapter of the game. Each biome presents new foes, hazards, and bosses for the players to overcome.
- Four iconic heroes of Pathfinder: Amiri the Barbarian, Harsk the Ranger, Kyra the Cleric, and Ezren the Wizard. Each features unique play styles, abilities, and feats, allowing for deep Pathfinder-style customization.
- Lead the party: Players don’t just play one powerful hero - they control the full team of four! Players can stick with their favorite, and either switch to the other heroes when the time is right or deploy them to act on their own. For example, Amiri could kick open the door or be sent to hold off the enemies while Harsk picks the lock.
- Teamwork & tactics: Controlling the entire team also allows players to take tactical advantage of each hero’s special strengths and even the odds against the abominations with powerful combos. Some combos are a 1-2 punch where timing is everything, such as Harsk weakening foes with poison before they face Kyra’s slashing scimitar. Other combos let heroes create something entirely new – for example, Ezren’s wall of fire becomes a flame vortex when Amiri spins her sword, a flame wave when Harsk swings his dual axes, or a wide-ranging fire dome when Kyra strikes the ground with her magic!
- Adaptable playstyle: Each hero in Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults can be customized via various advancement paths. Players choose how to improve each hero's abilities as they level up to create the kind of hero they want to play. For example, Kyra the cleric is a vital support character with her starting healing magic, but those spell effects can be altered to increase their range, add damage, or add additional protection, transforming Kyra from healer into a powerful blaster or a mighty frontliner.
- The more the mightier: Players can join forces with up to 3 other friends in local or online co-op for a fast & friendly pick-up adventure - either right from the beginning, during a tough boss fight, or just because they’ve discovered a new part of the dungeon and want to share the experience!
Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults is currently available to Wishlist on Steam, and you can keep up to date with all the information by following the game on Twitter, Discord, and Facebook.
