Paizo Announces “Pathfinder War of Immortals” Event with New Products and Storylines
In a recent Twitch stream, Paizo Inc. revealed a series of new products related to the “War of Immortals” meta-event. The announcement highlighted a mix of upcoming rulebooks, adventures, and a novel, signifying Paizo’s re-entry into fiction publishing.
The livestream, hosted by Community Manager Jon Morgantini, featured Pathfinder’s design team, including Michael Sayre, James Jacobs, Mark Moreland, and Luis Loza. “We’ve been planning this event for several years and are excited to finally share it with our players,” stated Mark Moreland, Paizo’s Director of Brand.
A central point of the announcement was the death of Gorum, the God of War, which had been hinted at through several months of blog posts known as the Godsrain Prophecies. These posts systematically excluded other gods from the possibility of demise, leading up to the revelation of Gorum’s fate.
Upcoming Releases Linked to the Meta-Event
The flagship product is the “Pathfinder War of Immortals” rulebook, a 240-page hardcover introducing new mythic rules and two new classes: the animist and the exemplar. Scheduled for release in October 2024, the book will be available in standard, special edition, and pocket edition formats.
