Obsidian Entertainment has teamed up with Paradox Interactive to deliver its upcoming fan-funded role-playing game, Pillars of Eternity, to the masses. Inspired by classics of the genre, the game is now available for pre-order from digital distributors everywhere including Steam, with a discount available for early customers. Pre-orders of the game will also include special in-game bonus items, previously available only to backers of the game on Kickstarter.
Josh Sawyer, the game’s Project Director, will be hosting a livestream alongside Jesse Cox to feature a wide array of never-before-seen game footage on Thursday, November 13 at 1pm PST on the official Paradox Twitch channel here.
In addition to these announcements, Paradox and Obsidian have released a new trailer of the game showcasing some of the content that’s never been seen before.
All pre-orders of Pillars of Eternity will receive a 10% discount (limited time offer) off of the game's full retail price and will include two secret, special in-game items. This discount and the in-game bonus offer are valid for both versions of the game, including the Hero Edition, which includes the full version of Pillars of Eternity, and the Champion Edition, which includes both the full game and a variety of premium bonuses:
- A digital copy of the Pillars of Eternity Original Soundtrack (OST)
- A digital campaign almanac containing backstory, lore, and information about Eora
- Access to a documentary on the making of Pillars of Eternity
- A high-resolution digital game map
- High-resolution Pillars of Eternity wallpapers
- Pillars of Eternity ringtones for mobile devices
Fans who pledged for a copy of Pillars of Eternity during the Kickstarter campaign will receive the pre-order in-game bonus items at no extra cost upon the game’s launch in 2015.
