Obsidian Entertainment already released two pieces of DLC for their pirate-themed RPG Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire – Beast of Winter and Seeker, Slayer, Survivor. And now we know that the final paid DLC for the game should be launching on December 13, 2018. Entitled The Forgotten Sanctum, the DLC will allow you to traverse an expansive dungeon, encounter plenty of high-level challenges, and deal with Eora’s top wizards.

At the same time, the game will receive a free 4.0 update that will introduce a couple of new features, several new god challenges, and two mega bosses. This Fig update has all the details. Check it out:

The Forgotten Sanctum

When a violent tremor shatters the islands of the Deadfire, the greatest wizards in Eora seek out the aid of the Watcher. The archmage Maura has vanished into the depths of a newly opened dungeon located in the Black Isles and threatens to awaken what lies forgotten there. Follow Maura’s trail and determine the fate of one of the Deadfire Archipelago’s most closely-held secrets.

• Traverse an expansive dungeon built into the flesh of a sleeping god.
• Encounter the highest-level challenges yet faced by the Watcher and their companions.
• Scheme with or defy the wills of Eora’s most powerful wizards.

You’ll have a chance to take your Watcher and their crew to the Forgotten Sanctum on December 13th, 2018!
