Owlcat has already partnered with two promising studios:

Another Angle Games (Poland): Creating Shadow of the Road, an isometric RPG set in an alternate feudal Japan, blending samurai culture, yokai, steampunk technology, and tactical turn-based combat.
Both Rue Valley and Shadow of the Road are in early development, with further details expected soon. These titles exemplify Owlcat's commitment to enriching the gaming world with immersive and engaging narratives.
