Pillars of Eternity 2 in development, crowdfunding considered

Pillars of Eternity 2 is not official yet, but studio head Feargus Urquhart just confirmed Obsidian Entertainment is working on the sequel to the highly-acclaimed 2015's Pillars of Eternity, as expected. The studio is considering a crowd funding model for this project, given the incredibly successful campaign of the original game.

The news come from a Gamepressure interview held at During the Digital Dragons 2016 conference in Kraków, with the event taking place yesterday and today in the Polish city. In Urquhart's own words:

"Obviously, as you've probably guessed, we're starting to move forward on [Pillars of] Eternity II. That is probably something that we want to look at [in terms of crowdfunding]. I think people felt like we delivered on our promise, and then that felt like we could go with Eternity II and people would support us again, because they trust us."

Given that Urquhart is on the board of advisors of Fig.co, perhaps it stands to reasons that Pillars of Eternity 2 would choose the crowdfunding/investor platform if it seeks funding that way.
