The anticipation for the third game of Pillars of Eternity, one of the beloved series of the CRPG world, never diminishes. Although legendary director of Obsidian Entertainment Josh Sawyer is not currently working on a new Pillars of Eternity game, he gave important clues about what a possible sequel would be like. Speaking to Gamepressure, Sawyer said that a new game could have a modern 3D environment like Baldur's Gate 3.
Full 3D Environment and Dynamic Gameplay
According to Sawyer, although Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire had great mechanics, the environmental dynamics were limited due to the isometric camera angle. A full 3D environment like Baldur's Gate 3 proves that height and dynamic terrain will enrich gameplay. Sawyer stated that he would like to see this approach in a new Pillars game.
Sawyer excited fans by saying, "If the mechanics in Deadfire are combined with the added environmental elements, height hazards, and dynamic terrain, the result is a great experience." He also stated that such a game could offer a freer RPG structure that does not adhere to the Dungeons & Dragons rules. This means that the series can further strengthen its own identity.
No Announcement Expected in the Near Term
These are busy days on the Obsidian front right now. The studio, Grounded 29 to be released into early access on July 2 ve The Outer Worlds 29 to be released on October 2 is continuing preparations for Pillars of Eternity 3. Therefore, an official announcement is not expected for Pillars of Eternity XNUMX in the near future.
Still, Josh Sawyer's statements have kept the fans of the series hopeful. Who knows, maybe one day it will be possible to see a Pillars of Eternity game with Baldur's Gate 3 quality, full 3D and dynamic environments.
