Nå avsluttes Pillars of Eternity-sagaen for denne gang

The White March – Part 2 er ute nå, og markerer slutten på historien i Pillars of Eternity.

Nå har Paradox og Obsidian lansert den andre og siste nedlastbare ekspansjonspakken for det folkefinansierte rollespillet Pillars of Eternity. The White March – Part 2 setter punktum for historien i rollespillet, og Obsidian vender nå nesen fremover, mot nye produkter.

– Vi startet Kickstarter-kampanjen for det som da het Project Eternity for tre og et halvt år siden. Det er surrealistisk å tenke på hvor enormt mye dette spillet har betydd for oss i Obsidian, og hvor mye det har endret oss som spillutvikler, sier Obsidian-sjef Feargus Urquhart. Han lover samtidig at selskapet er langt fra ferdig med å fortelle historier satt til Pillars-verdenen.

The White March – Part 2 fortsetter historien fra den første nedlastbare ekspansjonen fra spillet, og mye av handlingen finner sted i de iskalde områdene nord for spillmiljøene vi stiftet bekjentskap med i hovedspillet. Her er lanseringstraileren for ekspansjonen, og under finner du utviklernes skryteliste:
