Now Obsidian is making one of the most significant changes to the game in the last 10 years by introducing a turn-based mode. And Pillars of Eternity players will be able to get their hands on it this week.
On the game’s official site, Obsidian announced that the public beta for Pillars of Eternity’s turn-based mode will go live on November 5. The real-time combat was inspired by the system used by the game’s sequel, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire. The studio also released an announcement trailer for the new mode to demonstrate it in action.
