I’m so excited! Owlcat Games and Another Angle just announced that Shadow of the Road, a story-focused, turn-based RPG, is coming to PC in 2026. It’ll be available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG, which is awesome!
Here is an overview of the game, via Owlcat Games:
About
In Shadow of the Road, you’ll experience a story-rich, turn-based RPG that blends feudal Japan with elements of magic and technology. Build a team of unique characters and battle both mythical creatures and incredible steampunk machines. Your choices will shape the story and determine the future of the Empire.
In 1868, Japan is a nation ripped apart by civil war. The traditional forces of the Shogun are battling the Emperor’s army, who are equipped with advanced technology and supported by the British East Nippon Company. This is a world where warriors, spies, and magical creatures exist alongside steam-powered machines and ancient temples – a stark contrast of old and new. Japan is at a turning point, struggling to balance its rich history with the pressures of modernization. The outcome of this conflict will decide the nation’s future.
Your Story, Your Choices
Join a thrilling adventure guided by Tokugawa’s master spy! He’s assembled a team – the wandering samurai Satoru and Akira – to safeguard a young boy with incredible, but dangerous, abilities. Along the way, they’ll meet new allies, each with their own stories and reasons for fighting. Together, they’ll face increasingly difficult challenges as they try to restore their reputations and alter the future. The choices you make will determine how the story unfolds, allowing you to build relationships, end friendships, and repair broken family bonds – ultimately shaping the destinies of your characters.
Different Characters
Become a skilled leader and guide your team of warriors, not just in battle, but also by understanding their individual stories. Each warrior has a unique past, set of skills, and personal motivations. Assemble a team that matches how you like to fight and reflects your own style.
Combat
Enjoy strategic, turn-based battles inspired by samurai tactics. Each character on your team has unique skills and abilities, and their personal stories and relationships even impact how fights play out. By understanding both the strategy and the team dynamics, you’ll be well on your way to victory.
