News of the upcoming Obsidian Entertainment video game titled "Pillars of Eternity" have recently surfaced online including release date delay, pre-order bonuses and discounts as well as a new trailer revealed. Here's what we know so far.
First and foremost is the release date of "Pillars of Eternity". Initially, "Pillars of Eternity" release date was set on a late 2014. However, due to the high volume of feedbacks after the release of the beta version, "Pillars of Eternity" has been pushed back to an early 2015 release date.
While the team is continuing development and incorporating changes as per the comments of the "Pillars of Eternity" beta version, this causes the delay of the release date. Obsidian releases as statement on the matter of delayed release date for "Pillars of Eternity" saying, "To incorporate as much feedbacks as possible, polish every nook and cranny of the game, and make sure we don't ship a buggy game, Obsidian has decided to push the game's release into early next year. We are going to use the extra time to make Eternity shine for our backers, and a game that we were proud to call our own and would live up to your expectations."
"Pillars of Eternity" is a fantasy RPG video game that includes tactical gameplay, which runs similar with "Baldur's Gate" and "Icewind Dale", known as "Pillars of Eternity's" spiritual ancestors.
Project director Josh Sawyer talks to PCGamer about the upcoming "Pillars of Eternity" and its gameplay, revealing that "Combat rounds can be very limiting. We're doing something else, in the spirit of a fully real-time, continuous, purely time-based system."
While the "Pillars of Eternity" release date has been moved to an early 2015, pre-order has already begun and in-game bonuses are available for those who purchase early. Apart from the 10% off the cover price, those who order "Pillars of Eternity" early before the release date gets two "secret, special" in-game items that are only available to Kickstarter backers. This pre-order deal will also be available for the Champion Edition.
