The old-school isometric role-playing game Pathfinder: Kingmaker from Mail.Ru Group
Pathfinder has a unique history for Russian game dev. Firstly, this is a premium PC project from Mail.Ru Group. Secondly, he collected about $900 thousand for development on Kickstarter. Thirdly, it is published by the German Deep Silver (and a press release about the publication of the game is sent by Buka). Plus, it was created under a Western gaming license and with the participation of Chris Avellon, designer of Planescape: Torment and Fallout 2. Individually, these facts are not surprising, but together they are a completely different matter. We don’t know yet what happened to the developers, whose core team is formed from veterans of the Allods Team, but we are very intrigued.

League of Legends has problems
The world’s highest-grossing game is losing revenue.

The project’s revenues fell by 21% compared to the same period a year earlier. What caused this, analysts do not explain.
