Back in 2015, with the help of about 70,000 supporters on Kickstarter, the producer Obsidian created a fantastic CRPG game called The Pillars of Eternity. If you are a hard fan of Baldur’s Gate or Planescape: Torment, then you definitely cannot ignore this name in the collection.

The Pillars of Eternity has a rich combat system, meaningful dialogues and a plot based on a large series of novels, so the game quickly captivates the gaming community. Following the success of Part 1, Pillars of Eternity II also started with the same formula: crowdfunding. Surprisingly, just a few days after Pillars of Eternity II’s Kickstarter campaign was launched, fans completed the $ 1 million budget goal set by Obsidian Entertainment.

“Admittedly we have the best fan community in the world. It’s amazing how much the budget of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire has been completed so quickly. It’s also thanks to gamers. but the first part of the game has been successful both professionally and financially and we are looking to repeat that with this post. Thank you for putting your trust in us! “, Obsidian representative share.

Not stopping there, after 1 month of mobilization, this project has collected a total of 4.4 million USD. This is a far cry from giants like Sony, Square Enix or Ubisoft.

But for a fledgling producer like Obsidian, it’s as beautiful as a fairy tale. With this achievement, Pillars of Eternity II has become the largest community-funded game since 2015 to date, second only to Shenmue 3 ($ 6 million) and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (5, 5 million) on Kickstarter.
