IRVINE, Calif. — March 23, 2015 — Obsidian Entertainment and Paradox Interactive today released the second part of “Road to Eternity,” a behind-the-scenes documentary that follows the creation of Pillars of Eternity, the fan-funded role-playing game (RPG) for Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs. Pillars of Eternity, which releases worldwide this Thursday, March 26, 2015, was funded over two years ago by more than 70 thousand backers, a process that is shown in this new chapter of the documentary. This portion reveals the sentiment and mindset at Obsidian as the weight of keeping their studio open was lifted – and immediately replaced by the pressure to live up to their backers’ expectations.

Funded via Kickstarter in late 2012, raising $4.5 million through both backer pledges on Kickstarter and Obsidian’s own website,Pillars of Eternity has been a project of passion both for the development team and for the loyal fans who have made it possible.
