Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire will receive a boatload of post-launch content following its release in early May, developer Obsidian Entertainment has confirmed. Each DLC will offer up fresh locations and mission to tackle for the swashbuckling sequel, as well as the chance to meet new characters.
Beast of Winter is the first expansion to set sail for Pillars of Eternity 2, and will arrive in July. Here, players will poke around a mysterious island that's home to a doomsday cult, and adventure through a dimension known as The Beyond and face off against 'devilish challenges.'
Next in line is the combat-heavy Seeker, Slayer, Survivor, which sees you hunting down an ancient relic on a previously undiscovered island while testing your party's martial skills as well as your own might as a tactical commander. From the sound of things it won't be a walk in the park, as you'll be duking it out with 'Eora's most skilled and savage.' Seeker, Slayer, Survivor is pencilled in for a September launch.
The Forgotten Sanctum rounds things off in November, and presents you with the chance to help or hinder Eora's most venerable wizards in a mission that is set to scrutinize your party's alligance and morality. Apparently, your decisions will send ripples through the Deadfire Archipelago regardless of which path you take.
Those of you who purchase the Pillars of Eternity 2 Obsidian Edition will have access to all three content packs, or you can instead snap them up as part of the game's $24.99 Season Pass. Failing that, you can simply pick them up individually for $9.99 each.
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is due for release on May 8 for PC and Mac.
