New game content livestreaming today on Twitch
Obsidian Entertainment’s massively successfulcrowdfundedrole-playing gamePillars of Eternityhas been given a worldwide release date of March 26. Weighing in at around $4.5 million raised in backer pledges and pre-purchases through Obsidian’s website, I think it’s a pretty safe bet that fans of the old-school, party-based cRPG genre are looking forward to this one.
For those interested in getting a look at a selection of new game content, a live stream is scheduled for today hosted by Josh Sawyer, the game’s project director, who will “take viewers on a journey through the world ofPillars of Eternityto show what has been accomplished since the release of thebacker beta.”
I’m curious to see how things have turned out since then. In my time with the backer beta, I wasn’t won over with what was on display. Given that it was an early build, I’m not going to be overly critical, but I am hopeful that what we see today is a marked improvement.
The live stream is set to air today at 1:00PM Pacific onTwitch.
