Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – Season Pass 2

I'll be honest: when a CRPG season pass drops with no splashy marketing, my instinct is to audit what you're actually paying for before recommending it. Season Pass 2 for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous bundles three DLC packs, The Last Sarkorians (DLC 4), The Lord of Nothing (DLC 5), and A Dance of Masks (DLC 6), and the contents of each are distinct enough in scope and tone that they function less like uniform expansions and more like three separate bets on what Wrath players actually want. The Last Sarkorians is the mechanical anchor of the pass. It introduces Ulbrig Olesk, a new companion tied to the shattered history of Old Sarkoris, and with him comes the Shifter class, a shape-changing brawler who cycles through bestial combat aspects. For players already running a martial-heavy party, Ulbrig slots in cleanly; for anyone who has been waiting for a naturalist-style melee option beyond the base game's Barbarian or Slayer builds, the Shifter's aspect system adds genuine build variety to the roster. The companion writing, consistent with Owlcat's track record, treats Ulbrig's backstory as meaningful rather than incidental, and the lore digs into pre-crusade Sarkoris in ways the base game only gestures at. The Lord of Nothing is the more substantial story offering. It is a standalone campaign, you can enter fresh or import a save from the first-season Through the Ashes DLC, running 6-7 hours and following a group of non-mythic adventurers into frozen lands, a wizard's tower, the Shadow Plane, and ultimately a confrontation with a rising demon lord. The no-mythic-powers constraint is the smart design move here: it shifts the tactical framing considerably from the main campaign's escalating power fantasy. There are more than five distinct endings depending on your choices, and finishing the campaign unlocks a new dungeon in Chapter 5 of the base game, which at least gives main-campaign completionists a mechanical reason to engage. The two new companions, an angel of Sarenrae and an android, are well-written additions rather than filler. A Dance of Masks is the lightest piece and the one most likely to divide buyers. It sends the Knight Commander back to a rebuilt Kenabres for a festival, prioritising companion time, romance scenes, and lower-stakes social content over combat density. Players who have logged 80-plus hours with this cast will find it a satisfying curtain call. Players expecting dungeon content proportional to their spend will be underwhelmed. Think of it as an epilogue chapter in game form, not a new wing of the dungeon. The pass is coherent as a whole only if you have meaningful time in the base game already. The Last Sarkorians locks behind main-campaign progress, and the character payoffs across all three DLCs are proportional to how attached you are to the cast. For a first-time buyer who hasn't touched Wrath yet, pick up the base game plus Season Pass 1 first, those earlier DLCs establish the standalone campaign format and the companion relationships that Season Pass 2 resolves. Returning players who want more Owlcat writing and one fresh mechanical system in the Shifter have a clear case here. The 84% positive rating on Steam, while a limited sample, tracks with the quality floor Owlcat has maintained across this game's post-launch content.
