Statement from the Pillars of Eternity 2 developers

“Greetings fans!

We know you're as excited as we are about the upcoming launch of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. As you have probably guessed, Deadfire is a huge game - significantly larger than the original Pillars of Eternity. Obsidian has been working harder than Abydon himself to make sure every inch of it is awesome, as well as incorporating all the great feedback we have been getting from everyone playing the Backer Beta.

With this in mind, we are taking just a few extra weeks to polish and put those finishing touches on the game.

Our new launch date will be Tuesday, May 8, 2018. To tide you over until then, you can look forward to plenty of Deadfire-related news and content coming in the weeks and months.

See you all soon in the Deadfire!
-Obsidian ”

“We know you're just as excited for the release of Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire as we are. Deadfire is a huge game, much bigger than its predecessor. And although the Obsidian team works harder than Abydon himself, it takes a little more time to get everything right. Especially since we want to incorporate and take into account the great feedback from the Backer Beta. "

As a result, the publication is postponed to May 8, 2018. The Pre-order bonuses and special edition content we have ready for you in an earlier article.
