Obsidian Wants to Develop Pillars of Eternity Tactics After Avowed

Expert Verified By

Several Devs Have Already Pitched The Idea!

Story Highlight
  • With Avowed finally out of the way, the developer’s next venture is Outer Worlds 2, but the door for other franchises isn’t completely shut down.
  • Josh Sawyer recently discussed the possibility of a Pillars of Eternity Tactics game, though its niche appeal makes financial investment risky.
  • The idea was also pitched by several Obsidian developers, so we’ll likely see PoE Tactics.

Studio Obsidian has quietly become a strong arsenal under Xbox. With Avowed finally out of the way, the developer’s next venture is Outer Worlds 2. However, the door for other franchises isn’t completely shut down.

Josh Sawyer, director for Pillars of Eternity and Fallout: New Vegas, discussed the possibility of a Pillars tactic game

Why it matters: Pillars of Eternity fans have absolutely loved the idea of a Pillars tactic game spin-off game in the past, and the possibility of one is exciting for the niche genre itself.

Obsidian is Working On A New Game Besides Outer Worlds 2.

In a new Twitch livestream, the director had this to say:

Pillars Tactics is a thing that a lot of people at the studio would like to work on, and there are a lot of people that like tactics games.

-Josh Sawyer

This isn’t the first time that the director has discussed the possibility of a Pillars tactic game. Just a few months ago, several Obsidian devs pitched such a title

However, since the tactic genre is very niche, investing some time in a title that wouldn’t generate enough profit would be quite a problem, per the director.

Still, the possibility of a PoE Tactics game isn’t out of the question. A spin-off title with a smaller budget could certainly keep the series alive since it’s on a hiatus

Avowed
Avowed is A Part of Pillars Oo Eternity Universe.

For a threequel, the director has bigger demands for a Baldur’s Gate 3-sized cheque for the game’s development since the second entry budget wasn’t fulfilling. Avowed is a part of the Pillars of Eternity franchise, and director Carrie Patel has already teased a future for the IP.
