Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire sales "relatively low", continued "Check overall format" - Design Director - Video Peeling news, instructions, exemplary procedures, reviews and culture

Design Director Josh Sawyer examines why the continuation ran badly.

After the publication of The outer worlds, Obsidian Entertainment has alight flights behind. Take-Two Interactive, who belongs to the publishing label Private Division, reported that the game is a commercial and critical success and sales exceeded expectations. Even before the start, fans of the developer asked: What about Söhlen of eternity?

Obsidian Entertainment publishes Söhlen of Eternity 2: Deadfire in May 2018 and supported it with a variety of free updates and chargeable DLC. According to Design Director Josh Sawyer by Tumblr, the sales figures were "relatively low" for the continuation. If the studio decides to make a third game (which is not left in any way Sawyer), it would therefore have to "check the entire format of the game".

Sawyer found that despite pre-orders and reviews strongly, deadfire still disappointed. "Is it because the first game satisfied the existing needs and the audience simply was not interested in the second? Is it because awareness was lower for the continuation? Is it because people do not want to "really" like it despite the strong reviews and strong sales for the first game? Maybe it's a combination of all these things. "

Later he realized that a real-time break combat system had no influence on sales. "I'm sure some of the people who read this, believe exactly to know why deadfire is poorly sold as Söhlen 1. I do not have this self-confidence, which is one of several reasons why I'm suspicious when I try to stage a sequel. I could not give our (obsidian) audience the game they wanted, and without understanding where I went wrong, I would advise what the problems are and how I can fix them. "

Anyway, all eyes are on Obsidian Entertainment for his next project. Microsoft, which the studio acquired last year, has been interested in an enlargement The outer worlds and a continuation sometime seems to be a matter of course. For the time being, however, _ columns of eternity_ fans may need to wait a while before they can slip back into the guards' shoes.
