Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Delayed Until May 8th

I’m not seeing anything in their announcement forum, but Obsidian Entertainment sent out a newsletter this afternoon announcing that they’re pushing the release date for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire back from April 3rd to May 8th. While waiting an additional month is certainly not ideal, I trust that it’s being done for the right reasons:

Greetings fans!

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 sure every inch of it is 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.

Our new launch date will be Tuesday, May 8, 2018. To tide you over until then, you can look forward to plenty of Deadfire-related news and content coming in the weeks and months.

See you all soon in the Deadfire!
