Pillars of Eternity Gets Tenth Anniversary Patch, Turn-Based Mode Coming

Obsidian Entertainment announced that it has released a new patch for cRPG Pillars of Eternity. The patch, coming on the game’s tenth anniversary, contains a variety of bug fixes and minor enhancements to the game. Its release also comes with news that a turn-based mode is set to be added to the game later this year. The turn-based mode follows a turn-based mode added post-launch to the game’s sequel.

Pillars of Eternity primarily takes place in the nation of Dyrwood on the fantasy world of Eora. It sees players control a “Watcher”, one who can see and interact with people’s souls. The game released in 2015 for PC, Mac, and Linux with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions released in 2017 and a Nintendo Switch release following in 2019. It received a two-part expansion titled The White March, while sequel Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire released in 2018, with Obsidian Entertainment’s recent first-person action RPG Avowed also taking place within the same world.
