'Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire' Gets Official Release Date
"Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" will be released on April 3, Obsidian Entertainment has announced.
In an official statement, Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart described their first sequel for the company as "incredible."
At Obsidian, we are all about stories, worlds, and characters, and in "Deadfire" we've done it again with a vast open world explorable by the player's own customizable ship, character customization with enough options to make any RPG player want to make a hundred characters, and an exciting narrative that truly delivers on the reactivity that makes our games special. We're confident that new and returning players will find "Deadfire" to be the RPG experience of the year.
"Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" is now available for pre-order and comes in three editions. The first one called Standard Edition comes with the base game only.
The Digital Deluxe Edition priced $59.99 includes a copy of the game's official soundtrack, an in-game pet and special item, a high resolution game map, Digital Guide Book Vol. 2 and a "Pillars of Eternity" pen and paper RPG starter guide.
Fans can go all out with the Obsidian Edition priced at $74.99. It includes everything that the abovementioned version comes in plus all three downloadable content (DLC) to be released for the game that can be purchased separately for $9.99 each.
Whichever edition gamers pick up "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" in will get three bonuses including the St. Drogga's Skull, a weapon made of a sabre and skull of a martyr that allows players to slash and burn enemies in combat while also guiding players through the darkest reaches of the Deadfire.
Another preorder bonus for "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" is the in-game pet Beakhead, a white hawk who serves as the jaunty first-mate by the side of players.
Last but not the least "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" pre-order bonus is the "dark, intimidating" yet still attractive Black Flag, which is believed to have been used by "a mysterious and rowdy band of seadogs from a far-off land" who dyed their sails black with a stain made from ground-up dragon glass.
