Obsidian’s latest CRPG and the heir apparent to Baldur’s Gate, Pillars of Eternity, had no concrete release date and all we knew was that it was due sometime this first quarter. With such a crowded schedule during the first few months of 2015, it seems many games, most notably Witcher 3, are bowing out and are getting pushed back.

Obsidian must know they have a good thing on their hands, since it was just revealed on Kickstarter that Pillars of Eternity will become available to grognards everywhere this March 26th.

Lead producer Brandon Adler made the announcement:

If you have been waiting for word on a release date, the Pillars of Eternity team has some exciting news for you. The final game will be released on March 26th, 2015! At that time you will be able to purchase it “for reals” on Steam, GOG, and other online retailers.

This is also when we will be posting information about how you can redeem your game (and other backer rewards) on our Backer Portal.

If you’d like to make sure your order is correct, you can visit the Orders tab in your Account Profile. Any order there listed as “confirmed” is what we currently have confirmed for you. You can click on orders specifically to get more detail about your completed pledge.

If you’re a backer getting physical goods, we’ll be sending an e-mail around the end of February that will ask you to confirm your shipping address for us. You can verify and edit your address now if you’ve recently moved. We’ll keep you posted on when we’ll need final address edits!

Personally, this is the one game I’m looking forward to the most this year. I’ve always believed Obsidian could craft an amazing RPG if they ever pried themselves free from publisher control. In two months time, we’ll all find out if that’s true.
