Pillars of Eternity Testing Out Fan-Favorite Mode with Public Beta

2025 has been a fantastic year for Obsidian Entertainment, with successful RPGs like Grounded and the highly anticipated The Outer Worlds 2. The studio hasn’t neglected its older titles either, particularly the Pillars of Eternity series, which was inspired by classic games like Baldur’s Gate. The world of Eora, established in Pillars of Eternity and continued in Deadfire, is also the setting for their new game, Avowed. Fans of Deadfire were able to experiment with a turn-based combat system, which changed the game’s traditional pacing. Now, after hinting at it earlier this year, Obsidian has announced a beta release of this turn-based combat for the original Pillars of Eternity game.
