Pillars of Eternity was first released on 26th March 2015 and is available in Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, macOS, Macintosh operating systems, Microsoft Windows and Linux. The game was published by Paradox Entertainment, who, due to the success of the original, later released a second game in the series: Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, on 8th May 2018.

As an RPG set in a land called ‘Eora’, players are given control of a Character who has suddenly gained a magical power to see into the past and communicate with the dead. At the same time, children are being born without a soul, which has been given the name ‘hollow born’. It is the protagonists goal to both fix the hollow born phenomenon and discover what gave them their power.

Pillars of Eternity has been received well by fans, with a 92% rating on PC Gamer and 9/10 on steam. Players have praised its design and graphics, with some even hailing it as one of the top RPGs in history.
