Obsidian and Paradox announced at E3 today the upcoming expansion pack for Pillars of Eternity, titled The White March - Part I. Watch the announcement trailer now!
The White March: Part 1 will extend the story and experience of Pillars of Eternity, as well as adding a higher level cap, new abilities, new companions, and more to the game. The expansion, originally offered as a pledge add-on during the game's incredibly successful crowdfunding campaign, was revealed by Obsidian and Paradox at E3, and will be coming soon for Windows, Mac, and Linux PC's.
“Fans’ response to Pillars of Eternity has been incredible,” said
Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. “We knew, when we
started work on the game following our crowdfunding campaign,
that we had the potential to create the kind of game we’d wanted to see
again for a long time. Evidently, we weren’t alone in that. With The
White March, we’re going to ensure that we live up to the praise we’ve received and the faith our fans have placed in us.”
“Our
partnership with Obsidian couldn’t have started on a higher note than
with Pillars of Eternity,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox
Interactive. “It was clear to us, from the beginning, that Obsidian had a
deep connection to their fans, and with the tremendous success of
Pillars of Eternity, there’s no doubt in our mind that they understand
what players want from an RPG. We’re looking forward to working with
their team for a long time to come.”
Pillars of Eternity is an RPG inspired by classic titles such as Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape:
Torment, featuring an original world and game system that evokes and
improves upon the traditional computer RPG experience. The first
expansion, originally offered to fans as a pledge add-on during a
crowdfunding campaign, will continue the game’s rich story and expand
upon its detailed, original world. Named The White March: Part 1, the
expansion will also raise the in-game level cap and let players
meet new companions, unlock new abilities, and meet new challenges in
their own unique manner.
