Obsidian's crowdfunded tribute to games like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale - Pillars of Eternity - has been hit with a delay and won't be out as planned this year. Instead it will be released early 2015. In an official statement on the Paradox forums, Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart writes:
"Since the very beginning of this project we promised our fans and ourselves that we would release this game only when we knew it would be absolutely ready for the best experience possible. We're very close to that point, but not quite there yet. The feedback we have received through our playtest process has been invaluable to us. We are coming into the home stretch but are pushing the release out just a bit to make sure we honor that promise we made originally. Thanks for your patience and support, it will be worth the wait."
For those who have been waiting more than a decade for this sort of game, maybe a few months isn't a big deal. Then again maybe it is.
