Pillars of Eternity started as a Kickstarter project where it completely shattered its funding goal of $1,100,000 and received $3,986,929 pledged by 73,986 backers. Since its release, it has gone on to win multiple awards and fans around the world.

Similar to other RPG top down isometric games like Diablo and Baldur's Gate, Pillars of Eternity is a fantasy title with warriors, wizards, knights and other standard tropes from the D&D Universe along with a plethora of creatures and monsters to keep adventurers busy and occupied.

Originally available only on the PC Platform, Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition brings the original game and all of its expansions to the Console universe with an August 29th release date.

This updated Xbox and PlayStation edition has been thoroughly revamped to ensure that players are easily able to navigate through the menus not only of player creation but also combat, and the graphics have been similarly tweaked and enhanced with couch play in mind to make images sharper on larger television displays.
