Obsidian har en lidt trist nyhed til de, der ser frem til deres kommende rollespil Pillars of Eternity. Spillets Kickstarter-kampagne var nemlig så overvældende en succes (de samlede $3,9 millioner ind, og målet var kun $1,1 million), at spillet er vokset til et omfang hvor udviklerne ikke kan nå den oprindeligt planlagte dato.
Obsidian havde ellers satset på at have spillet klar i løbet af foråret, men det bliver i stedet først til en udgivelse i anden halvdel af 2014, skriver Polygon.
Spillets projektleder, Josh Sawyer, fortæller:
"We got almost four-times as much money and that's a much bigger game, and that doesn't mean that immediately we just dump four-times as many people on it and it also gets done in April. There's a lot more stuff to do.
"... Until we get really close to releasing the game we don't want a specific release window, because we're not a publisher, we don't have to! Virtually nothing good comes from us releasing a date before we're very confident in it. It's not going to be in spring; we're going to be working into spring to get alpha done because it's a big game."
Pillars of Eternity er et rollespil af den gamle skole, inspireret af de klassiske Infinity Engine-rollespil fra slutningen af 90'erne og starten af 00'erne, herunder Baldur's Gate og Planescape: Torment.
