Pathologic 3: Quarantine launches next month

The Pathologic series is a highly unique cult-hit franchise which, since the release of the first game back in 2005, has gained fame for its atypical story-telling and role-playing methods. In a surprise announcement last year, the team unveiled Pathologic 3: Quarantine, replacing the planned DLC for the second game. Said to be coming in 2025, we now have a concrete release date.

Releasing a trailer onto YouTube, the team at Ice-Pick Lodge officially confirmed that Pathologic 3: Quarantine will release in just under a month’s time on the 17th of March.

]for the uninitiated, despite being named Pathologic 3: Quarantine, the upcoming title will offer the long-promised Bachelor story path which was initially intended to be added to the second game – before complications with the Russian invasion of Ukraine led to significant delays.

That said, those who backed the Kickstarter for Pathologic 2 all the way back in 2014 will be given Pathologic 3 for free when it releases in a month’s time – however those who bought the game after the fact are seemingly out of luck (though a free prologue will be available to all).

The Pathologic series is an odd one, and so it is encouraging to see that the team at Ice-Pick Lodge are committed to its continuation. Hopefully the wait will have been worth it.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for Pathologic 3? Did you back the original Kickstarter? Will the series be able to maintain its particular and unique sense of atmosphere? Let us know down below.
