Pillars Of Eternity Receives An Unexpected Update, Sparking Speculation About A Potential Pillars Of Eternity 3 Release

With the triumph of Baldur's Gate III, computer role-playing games (CRPGs) have captivated the gaming community, prompting a wave of interest in related series, including Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity.

The original title in the series was recently updated with a patch that, though not an expansion of content but rather a means to iron out glitches, has stirred speculation about Obsidian's current projects. Some fans even hope for a third installment in the Pillars of Eternity saga.

While it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility, the notion of a third game being developed now is a stretch. Obsidian has its hands full with Avowed, an upcoming title sharing the world of Pillars of Eternity. This might explain their interest in refining the initial game—for fans seeking to dive deep into the narrative without technical distractions.

Additionally, looking at the studio's schedule, with Avowed set to release this year and The Outer Worlds 2 on the horizon, it would likely be a distant future release even if Pillars of Eternity 3 is under consideration. Therefore, while anticipation is natural, patience will be essential for those holding out for a third game.
