Obsidian Entertainment sent out a short news blast this afternoon to confirm that Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire will be released for the PC on May 8. The isometric RPG was originally expected to launch on April 3, but the developer needed more time to “put those finishing touches on the game”:
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 every inch of it 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.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is also in development for the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. It’s on track to make its console debut this Fall.
And if you’re planning to attend PAX East in Boston next month, you’ll be able to play Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire at the Versus Evil booth.
