Paradox to Publish Pillars of Eternity
0Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's Kickstarter-funded RPG, will be published by Paradox, announced the publisher at GDC. This partnership should allow Obsidian to fully concentrate on development of the game, while Paradox takes on marketing and distribution duties. "How we are developing Pillars of Eternity has not, and will not be, changed; we will deliver the game we promised to our backers, and we will deliver it this year," said Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart. "Having Paradox as a partner, with their expertise in independent games like Pillars of Eternity, lets us put all of our focus on making an incredible game."According to Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive, the publishing deal won't affect the direction and ambitions of the game outlined in its Kickstarter project. "When we signed this partnership we called it two independent players in the games industry supporting each other to stay independent by doing what we do best," said Wester "The fans backing this game—many of us included—are looking forward to a classic RPG as envisioned by the designers at Obsidian, and that's exactly what they're going to get."
Pillars of Eternity is scheduled to launch in late 2014 for Windows, Mac and Linux.
