Versus Evil and Obsidian Unveil Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-Order

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire will launch this April 3, 2018 on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux platforms.

By pre-ordering the Standard, Deluxe, or Obsidian Edition, fans will receive three unique in-game digital items:

• St. Drogga's Skull – Crafted from a sabre and the skull of a martyr it will slash and burn enemies in combat, while also guiding players through the darkest reaches of the Deadfire.
• Beakhead, the Hawk (In-Game Pet): Beakhead, the white hawk, took a liking to your ship soon after you arrived in the Deadfire. Captains in the Deadfire are only as effective as their crew, and with this jaunty first-mate by your side you're bound to find success at sea.
• The Black Flag: This flag is said to have been flown by a mysterious and rowdy band of seadogs from a far-off land, who dyed their sails black with a stain made from ground-up dragon glass. Dark and intimidating, but somehow attractive, nonetheless.

The standard edition of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire will cost $49.99, digital and physical retail, while the Deluxe Edition will be priced at $59.99. The Deluxe Edition will include the game's official soundtrack composed by Justin Bell, composer of the soundtrack to the first Pillars of Eternity. Additionally, the Deluxe Edition includes: an in-game pet, a Deadfire themed special in-game item, a digital pen and paper RPG starter guide, a high-resolution game map, and Volume II of the digital guide book, published by Dark Horse. 

The Obsidian Edition is priced at $74.99 for the digital version, and includes everything that comes in the Deluxe Edition as well as the first three DLC expansions for Pillars of Eternity II, which each cost $9.99 to purchase separately, although these will not be available for separate purchase until the game's official launch.

The physical version of the Obsidian Edition will cost $79.99, and will include the same content as its digital cousin, but also additional, physical rewards: a cloth map of the Deadfire region, an Explorer's notepad and a set of postcards that render the Deadfire Archipelago in beautiful detail.

"Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is our first sequel here at Obsidian and we've created something incredible. At Obsidian, we are all about stories, worlds, and characters, and in Deadfire we've done it again with a vast open world explorable by the player's own customizable ship, character customization with enough options to make any RPG player want to make a hundred characters, and an exciting narrative that truly delivers on the reactivity that makes our games special. We're confident that new and returning players will find Deadfire to be the RPG experience of the year," said Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart.

"Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire aims to build on the incredible success of the first game to deliver an unrivaled player experience even richer and more in depth than before," said Steve Escalante, Versus Evil's General Manager. "We're very proud to be part of such a passionate team, amazing community of fans and generous backers on a scale that includes a substantial digital and physical boxed offering for our retail partners. All of us are looking forward to launching the game on April 3rd!"
