Retailers Note Paizo Slate: Hellfire Dispatches, Pawn Boxes, Galactic Ancestries

PHD Games flagged Pathfinder Lost Omens: Hellfire Dispatches in a retailer roundup dated February 19, 2026, listing both a standard hardcover (Item Code PZO13008HC, MSRP $44.99) and a Special Edition (Item Code PZO13008SE, MSRP $64.99) with a release window of April 2026 and urging retailers to "Pre-order with your PHD Account Manager today!" Paizo’s store listing for the same title pins an expected release date of April 1, 2026 and provides ISBN 978-1-64078-779-7, placing the book directly on publisher and distributor calendars for spring fulfillment.

Paizo’s product page credits ten contributors: Rigby Bendele, Caryn DiMarco, Stephanie Lundeen, Liane Merciel, Matt Morris, Erin Roberts, Kendra Leigh Speedling, Tan Shao Han, Landon Winkler, and Andrew White, and presents the book as a 128-page Lost Omens setting sourcebook. The product text emphasizes the Hellfire Crisis setting: "A single spark has ignited the dry tinder of decades-long saber-rattling into the full-fledged inferno of the Hellfire Crisis, embroiling an entire region into the war between infernal Cheliax and its former holding of Andoran." Noble Knight and PHD excerpts repeat the setting copy: "In addition to news of the war and fronts where heroes might win important victories, this 128-page setting sourcebook provides new options for factions involved in the war. The Eagle Knights loyal to Andoran and the Hellknights divided by Cheliax’s wartime demands were there when the first blows were struck."

Product features listed across retailer notes include a "comprehensive overview of the war’s timeline and effects" told through first-person accounts, "a gazetteer of prominent NPCs and plot hooks" from the Arch of Aroden to Absalom, "Ten archetypes, including three freedom-loving Eagle Knight options, the law-bound Hellknight, Starstone aspirant, and more!" plus "new character options for members of all classes and themes" and "more than a dozen new troops to challenge parties on all sides of the conflict, a perfect complement to the skirmish rules presented in Pathfinder Battlecry!" Noble Knight’s listing adds physical dimensions of 8 x 11 x 0.5 inches and repeats the 128-page count.

Commercial metadata shows a mismatch between retailers. PHD and Paizo use item codes PZO13008HC and PZO13008SE for standard and Special Edition entries; Noble Knight lists MFG Part #: PZO18008-SE and NKG Part #: 2148405092 and shows "Publish Year: 2023" alongside an "MSRP old price: $64.99." That 2023 publish year and the PZO18008-SE part number conflict with Paizo’s April 1, 2026 release and PHD’s PZO13008 codes, creating a cross-retailer discrepancy in SKUs and publish year in publicly visible listings.

PHD’s February 19, 2026 roundup also called out additional Paizo items for retailers in the same notice, including "Starfinder: Galactic Ancestries" and "new accessory pawn boxes tied to Monster Core 2" as well as "Starfinder creature/token products" and "Pathfinder 2E: Dark Archive (Remastered), Pocket Edition." PHD’s copy specifies compatibility for the Starfinder title: "As with all Starfinder Second Edition material, Starfinder: Galactic Ancestries is fully compatible with Pathfinder Second Edition, allowing players and Game Masters to incorporate interstellar options into their favorite fantasy campaign!" With Paizo’s store listing, PHD’s SKU/MSRP lines, Noble Knight’s dimensions and part numbers, and Paizo’s author and ISBN data published, the Hellfire Dispatches listing is now live in retail channels for an item expected to ship April 1, 2026.
