Pursue a rogue god over land and sea in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, Obsidian Entertainment's sequel to the multi-award-winning Pillars of Eternity. A vast, unexplored archipelago waits beyond the horizon - and how you cross it, who sails with you, and what you leave behind at every port are entirely up to you.
Chart a Course Through the Deadfire
Deadfire hands you a region of exotic islands and lets you plot your own course through it. Every landfall brings new places to discover, inhabitants to win over or cross, and quests waiting at every port. Total freedom of exploration means the story bends around the route you choose, not the other way around.
Your Ship Is Your Stronghold
Your vessel is far more than transportation. Upgrade it, crew it, and choose which of your sailors' skills to improve, because the open sea has its own dangers and the encounters between islands can be as memorable as anything waiting on shore. A well-run ship is the difference between limping into harbor and arriving ready for what comes next.
Build a Party Worth Following
Seven companions can join your quest, and the new companion system lets their personal relationships and interactions unfold as you travel. Detailed character customization runs deep: assign multiple classes and deeper abilities for each party member and shape a crew that fights, argues, and grows the way you want it to.
Fight on Your Terms
- Real-time with pause
- The classic pacing the series is known for. Freeze the action mid-melee, line up spells and strikes across the battlefield, then let the chaos resume - fluid when you want momentum, deliberate when you need precision.
- Turn-based mode
- Added in the game's 5.0 update, turn-based mode restructures every encounter into measured, chess-like rounds. It changes how initiative, positioning, and abilities read, and it makes even familiar fights feel brand new on a second voyage.
- The Ultimate challenge
- For veterans who have seen everything the archipelago can throw at them, The Ultimate stacks the game's hardest constraints into a single run - a test of build knowledge, tactics, and nerve that only a small fraction of captains will ever finish.
Choices That Truly Matter
Deadfire builds on the foundation of classic role-playing gameplay with vastly improved graphics, deeper mechanics, and a hand-crafted adventure where meaningful choices arrive at every turn. Bend the world to your will - the factions, crews, and gods of the Deadfire all respond to the captain you decide to be.
Raise the anchor, pick a heading, and go find out what the rogue god is running toward. The Deadfire has been waiting for a captain like you.
