Paizo generally has one of the biggest in-person events during Gen Con, the country’s largest board game convention. COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the event in person for the first time in more than 50 years. The developer and publisher said that their scheduled gaming sessions will still be carried out using virtual board tools like Roll20.
The company tells Polygon that it is doing well in the second half of 2020. Marketing and media manager Aaron Shanks said Paizo is outperforming the ups and downs of the tableware industry better than most.
“Our sales and subscriptions are healthy,” said Shanks, “and our licensed partners are growing.” It is worth noting the console port of Pathfinder: Kingmaker, which arrives for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 18.
