Pillars of Eternity 2’s creators, Versus Evil, have released some terrible news about the Nintendo Switch adaptation of the game.
One of the devs claimed in the Versus Evil Discord chatroom that the firm would no longer be working on the project, albeit they did not specify why. This comes after the studio said last year that they had halted working on updates for the Nintendo Switch version of the original game, Pillars of Eternity, citing the Nintendo Switch hardware as the reason.
Hey there! Unfortunately, after much deliberation, we have decided not to move forward with Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire for the Nintendo Switch.
About Pillars of Eternity 2
Obsidian Entertainment’s Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire (initial working title Project Louisiana) is a party-based role-playing video game released by Versus Evil. It is the sequel to the first Pillars of Eternity, and it is based on the Infinity Engine games Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale II, and Planescape: Torment. The game was successfully crowdfunded via a Fig campaign, with 33,614 supporters and private investors contributing a total of $4,545,395 to the project.
The game is presently available on Steam, GOG, Humble Bundle, Origin, and the Mac App Store, and was launched on May 8, 2018 for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It was published on January 28, 2020, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.
Sad that it not coming but well it is what it is.
