Feargus Urquhart of Obsidian shared details on Pillars of Eternity soon after announcing the release date. In the press release, Urquhart said, “Everybody at Obsidian has been dedicated to ensuring that Pillars of Eternity is the game we said it would be ever since we launched the Kickstarter campaign. The community has been incredibly forthcoming with their feedback, and we want to thank all of our fans for being so engaged with the game’s development-and for giving us the time to implement their suggestions and ensure Pillars of Eternity is a game we can be proud of.”
Pointing out that the March release date is solid, Urquhart continued, “We’ve used that time well, and the results will be worth the wait. The end is finally in sight, and our journey is nearly complete-at which point yours can begin.”
In these last few months the team is laser-focused on a few keys areas:
- Polishing and Bugs. The entire team is busy fixing as many bugs as possible. We are also going through the existing content and polishing it up – check out the brigandine!
- Finalization of… Everything. We are also in the process of finalizing everything from backer reward items to game boxes. It is quite a bit of stuff, but we are making great progress and everything is on track for the release date.
