Fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming release of a new installment in the Pathologic series tailored for PC users. Pathologic 3 presents a fresh take on the distinctive horror game, challenging players to rescue a town plagued by disease within a 12-day timeframe, immersing them in an eerie and captivating gaming experience. The launch details for Pathologic 3, including the release date, time, and file size, are crucial for enthusiasts.
Excitingly, Pathologic 3 is set to debut on January 9 at 4 pm GMT for UK gamers, which translates to 8 am PDT / 11 am EDT for those in the US, and 5 pm CET for European fans. Initially, the game will be available exclusively on PC, with plans for releases on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at a later unconfirmed date.
Regrettably, Pathologic 3 cannot be pre-ordered on Steam currently; interested fans can only add it to their Wishlist. Consequently, pre-loading the game is not an option, necessitating a full download at the specified launch time of 4 pm GMT. Developer Ice-Pick Lodge has disclosed that the file size for Pathologic 3 will be 43GB.
Ice-Pick Lodge has assured players that the pricing for Pathologic 3 will mirror that of Pathologic 2, albeit with regional variations. Pathologic 2, priced at £29.50 in the UK, serves as a reference point for potential pricing. Additionally, a 20% launch discount will be available, reducing the cost to below £25, while an extra 15% discount is offered for customers purchasing a bundle of Pathologic 2 and Pathologic 3.
Regarding Steam Deck compatibility, Ice-Pick Lodge has not confirmed full support and optimization for Pathologic 3 ahead of the launch. However, the developer has indicated that once confident in the game’s performance, relevant information will be updated on the store page. Notably, Pathologic 2 has been verified, suggesting a similar assessment for the sequel in due course.
