Pillars of Eternity Got New Patch After 9 Years; The Baldur's Gate 3 Effect?
Obsidian Entertainment surprised Pillars of Eternity fans and released a new patch for the isometric RPG nearly a decade after its release.
For those who may have forgotten, the original Pillars of Eternity is still alive. The isometric RPG from Obsidian Entertainment has just received a new update.
Even though the patch is currently available in beta version on Steam and doesn't bring any spectacular improvements to the nearly 9-year-old title, it's definitely worth downloading. According to the developers, the patch fixes some visual and sound errors, removes glitches that occur during gameplay and improves the user interface (you can see a detailed list of changes here).
How to download the update?
- To download the update, you need to go to the game library on Steam.
- Next, you need to right-click on Pillars of Eternity's icon and select the "Properties" option.
- A "Beta" section will appear in the new window. After it drops down, "Participation in the beta version" will appear on the screen.
- On the right side, you need to enable options and select "Public Beta branch for upcoming patches".
- Closing the window and trying to launch the game should initiate the download of updates.
Why did the creators from Obsidian decide to update their old work? This probably has to do with the success of Baldur's Gate 3. Players - and there are plenty of them - who complete Larian's game may look for other similar games on the market, and the two previous installments of Pillars of Eternity seem to be the perfect choice.
