See what awaits players at the end of their journey with a launch trailer for
The White March – Part 2:
“We launched the Kickstarter campaign for what we were calling ‘Project
Eternity’ three and a half years ago. It’s surreal to think about just how much
this game has meant to us at Obsidian, and how much it’s changed us as a
developer,” said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. “Working so
closely with our backer community was a major part of the process, and helped us
understand precisely what our fans wanted. Now, with Pillars of Eternity winning
awards and standing as one of the biggest RPG releases of 2015, I’m proud to say
we fulfilled our promise to our backers, and then some. Best of all, we’ve got
plenty more stories we plan to tell within the world of Pillars of Eternity.”
Pillars of Eternity, created by industry veterans also known for Star Wars:
Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, Fallout: New Vegas, and South
Park: The Stick of Truth, is an RPG inspired by classic titles such as Baldur’s
Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment. Created thanks to over 75,000
crowdfunding backers, Pillars of Eternity has sold over 700,000 units, was
released to critical acclaim in March 2015, and is among Metacritic’s 10 Best PC
Games of 2015.
