Pillars of Eternity Turn-Based Mode Released

Obsidian Entertainment has released its turn-based mode update for cRPG Pillars of Eternity. The update is available for the game’s PC, Mac, and Linux versions through Steam, GOG.com, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store. It works similarly to that of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, with players able to switch between the original real-time-with-pause system and turn-based mode at any time.

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 originally released in 2015, 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 recent first-person action RPG Avowed also taking place within the same world.
