WELCOME BACK TO EORA

Shaky.gif

Eothas has returned. The god of light and rebirth was thought dead, but he now inhabits the stone titan that sat buried under your keep, Caed Nua, for millennia. Ripping his way out of the ground, he destroyed your stronghold and left you at the brink of death. To save your soul, you must track down the wayward god and demand answers - answers which could throw mortals and the gods themselves into chaos.

Explore Deadfire

 

Voyage by land and sea across the myriad islands of Deadfire to discover new cultures and environments. Help to resolve a multi-layered conflict between the locals, ambitious trading companies, and bands of fierce pirates while following in the footsteps of Eothas.

A Living, Breathing World

 

The people of Deadfire have lives of their own, jobs to do, and appointments to keep. They will carry on with their affairs even when you're not watching. If you don’t find the street gang in their usual haunt, a street urchin might be persuaded to tell you that at night you’ll find them at their flop house.


New and Returning Companions

While some familiar faces will be returning, Deadfire will also present a fresh crop of travelers with stories of their own. Companions are tightly intertwined with the fate of Eothas and the Deadfire and will change based on the player's choices over the course of the story.

Enhanced Reactivity

 

Continue the story you began as the Watcher of Caed Nua in Pillars of Eternity, and see how your decisions and actions in the Dyrwood persist in Deadfire.

Dynamic Weather

In addition to the rich and diverse environments, Pillars II will feature intense and immersive dynamic weather. Rains, fierce winds and sandstorms are among the harsher conditions that are commonplace in Deadfire. You’ll even hear the rain pounding on the roof when you go inside.

And, There's More

A new dynamic lighting and shadows engine bringing even more life to characters in the world, every spells and abilities revised new visual effects working in concert with the new lighting and shadow, scripted interactions that let you easily choose who participates, all new interfaces for inventory and dialog, new creatures, and much, much more.

We now have boats, closing in on $3.5 million in funding

 

Yes, we can finally confirm what we've been keeping secret this whole time: a new and exciting feature that takes the Pillars of Eternity experience to a completely new stage, which adds open-world exploration and discovery to the gameplay on both land and at sea! As many of you guessed correctly, in Deadfire you can be the captain of your own ship. With ships, you have the power to play the game differently; now, you can freely explore the islands of the Deadfire using the new world map.

You want details about the ships? No problem. Your ship is a Dyrwoodan sloop called the Defiant, purchased for you by the Steward of Caed Nua, who has made the journey to help you (part of her, anyway) on your quest to hunt down Eothas, and is one of the first allies to join you on your adventure. The ship acts as your mobile base of operations, carrying you and your comrades wherever you command. Companions will stay on-board while not in your party, and you can even go below decks to your captain's quarters for rest and relaxation.

 

You can customize, upgrade, and add personal touches to the Defiant. This includes changing your sails, painting your hull, and flying flags to show your personal colors/faction allegiance. You can also improve the performance of your cannons, sails, and hull, beyond just their cosmetic appearance. For example, Dwarven cannons add extra firepower in naval battles, or while upgraded sails give you an extra bit of speed to outmaneuver your opponent. If we hit our $3.5 million stretch goal,we'll add even more new and amazing, unlockable upgrades for your ships. And if we hit our $4 million stretch goal, we will add other ships that you can find, purchase, or even steal during your adventure - to make them your own.

Pillars of Eternity 2 Post-Launch Expansions, Season Pass Price Announced

 

Obsidian Entertainment’s Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is out in the next two weeks but in case you’re already pining for more content post-launch, the developer has you covered. It’s announced three expansions, starting with Beast of Winter in July.

 

Beast of Winter will see the doors to The Beyond, a “mysterious dimension populated by ancient souls and filled with devilish challenges”, being opened and the player fighting a doomsday cult. The next expansion is Seeker, Slayer, Survivor releasing in September where you’ll face off against Eora’s strongest and most brutal warriors. Finally, there’s The Forgottten Sanctum which tells the story about Eora’s wizards and promises a trial of “allegiance and morality.”

 

Along with pricing each expansion for $10 apiece, Obsidian is also bundling all the expansions together in a Season Pass for $25. If you pick up the Collector’s Edition from the $150 tier or higher from the crowd-funding campaign, then the Season Pass will be included with everything else.
