Pillars Of Eternity II: Deadfire Launching On PC In April, Special Editions Announced
The sequel to the Kickstarter-backed RPG success story Pillars of Eternity (which we liked) will be hitting sooner than you might have thought. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire will release on April 3 for PC, Mac, and Linux. No release date for consoles has been announced.
Fans who pre-order the game will receive three special in-game goodies: St. Drogga's Skull (a weapon), Beakhead, the Hawk (a pet), and The Black Flag (a black flag, for your ship).
Developer Obsidian Entertainment also announced a few special editions to go along with the regular one. The regular edition will cost $50, but for an extra $10 players can get the Deluxe edition, which has an official soundtrack, another in-game item, a pen-and-paper RPG starter guide, a digital map of the game's world, and a digital guide book.
For $75 players can get the Obsidian edition, which, along with everything in the Deluxe edition, includes the first three expansions for Deadfire. A physical version of the Obsidian edition, priced at $80, will also include a cloth map of Deadfire, a notepad, and postcards from the world of Deadfire.
