Here’s a press release with additional details:

Baltimore, MD – August 8th, 2019 -Independent games publisher Versus Evil in partnership with Obsidian Entertainment today announced that Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition is now available on Nintendo Switch for $49.99 / £44.99 / € 49,99. There is a 20% discount until August 15th.

Nintendo Switch players and newcomers to the Pillars universe will get to experience the deep sense of exploration and discovery in a meticulously crafted RPG adventure which also includes the expanded world and content of the game’s two part DLC, The White March: Parts I & II.

In addition, Nintendo Switch players will also benefit from all the major updates from the original PC version, including a raised level cap, expanded party AI options, and new difficulty levels to build out the ultimate RPG adventure.

Versus Evil General Manager Steve Escalante said: “Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition is quite possibly one of the most definitive RPG experiences that Nintendo Switch players can enjoy.

In Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition players can build out their chosen character and customize their hero as one of eleven classes across any of the six available races, Human, Aumaua, Dwarf, Elf, Godlike and Orlan.
