The arrival of the RPG will come right before the console release of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, which reached its crowdfunding goal of $1.1 million in less than a day. The Nintendo Switch version does not feature any major changes to a four-year-old game, but it will allow players to continue the adventure while on the go due to the portability of the hybrid console. Pillars of Eternity appeals to hardcore RPG fans who love the grind of building up characters and completing side quests. At the start of the game, players awaken to new powers that they will use to rid the nation of Dyrwood of the Hollowborn Plague, which causes infants to be born without souls.

Pillars of Eternity, tagged as the spiritual successor to classics such as Baldur’s Gate and Planescape: Torment, rejuvenated the isometric RPG genre with its tactical gameplay, amazing artwork, and gripping story. It was brought to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One two years later, and after another two years, to the Nintendo Switch. Obsidian, known for Fallout: New Vegas and South Park: The Stick of Truth, received much praise for Pillars of Eternity, which was first released for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux in 2015.
