Obsidian Entertainment has released a new trailer for the upcoming RPG Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire to mark the release of the closed backer beta. The short video offers a brief glimpse of the game's environments, combat, interactive story elements, and some sailing.
Deadfire — a crowd-funded success in its own right — is the follow-up to the Kickstarter success story Pillars of Eternity. This sequel takes players back to the world of Eora, specifically an archipelago called Deadfire. The game will see some returning cast members and also allow for characters to be transferred over and having the decisions made in the first game affect the second. The game is set to release on PC and Mac sometime in 2018.
