As we head into 2024, let's have a bit of a retrospective, shall we? 2023 marks 10 years since Versus Evil was founded, and we've built quite the portfolio over the last decade. We look back on early titles such as Yaga, Cardpocalypse, and Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire; we look back on recent notable titles such as First Class Trouble, Eville, and UnMetal; and now, we look forward to our upcoming slate of new releases such as Lil' Guardsman, Tamarak Trail, and Broken Roads. Whether you've been playing our games the day we started or are now just joining the fun, thank you for being on this journey with us. We're forever grateful. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1403440/Broken_Roads/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1924360/Lil_Guardsman/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1591220/Tamarak_Trail/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1989320/Monolith_Requiem_of_the_Ancients/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1220170/Eville/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/953880/First_Class_Trouble/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/560130/Pillars_of_Eternity_II_Deadfire/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1203710/UnMetal/

Hello, everyone! We hope the beginning of summer has been off to a great start for you all! Our annual Steam Summer Sale is going on right now where you can get up to 90% off, but we also want to mention Steam Next Fest where we debuted demos for several of our upcoming titles! We had not one, not 2, not even 3, but 4 demos to show off, and we thank each and every one of you who played them and spread the word. For those unaware, here's a short summary of what each title is about: Tamarak Trail is a deck-building roguelike where you'll use a customizable dice set as you battle through randomly generated trails full of loot, mysteries, and danger to protect inhabitants from the evil that has corrupted the trail. In Lil' Guardsman, imagine you're a 12-year-old, suddenly in charge of the guard shed at the castle gate, where you decide if elves, goblins and 100+ other characters should be admitted. It's a wonderful combination of deduction, narrative and puzzle games. Broken Roads is a narrative-driven RPG that brings exploration, strategic turn-based combat and meaningful philosophical choices to an all-new Australian post-apocalyptic setting. Finally, in Stray Souls, enter a world of nightmares in this third person, action-horror, inspired by the classics of the genre.

Hello, everyone! Versus Evil is turning 8! Can you believe it? Well, believe it because to celebrate we're having a sale on our awesome catalog of games! Over these past 8 years, we've had the opportunity to help put out many fun and creative games. This year saw the release of Jumpala, Hitchhiker - A Mystery Game, and Sockventure, as well as Early Access releases for First Class Trouble, Almighty: Kill Your Gods, and The Hand of Merlin. Tomorrow sees the release of our latest addition, UnMetal! UnMetal is a 2D stealth action-adventure that pays homage to the classics with a healthy dose of humor and satire. You play as Jesse Fox, who is definitely NOT an elite commando, under arrest for a crime he didn't commit, and must escape a covert military base using his wits and fists. Sounds like fun, right? Check out UnMetal and the rest of our catalog for anything that may interest you! To close, some thanks are in order... Thank you to our developers who really give it their all to bring these games to life. Thank you to our Heralds who are the best ambassadors we could ever hope for. And, of course, thank you to our players who are the reason we continue to strive to put out the best games we possibly can. This has been one long, crazy journey, and we're glad you're all on it with us. From all of us at Versus Evil, thank you for making these past 8 years great.

Weve noticed a lot of new and returning fans enter the world of Eora. Heres a breakdown of whats new for Pillars of Eternity: II Deadfire that you should take note of before starting.

• Theres two entirely different ways to play. Now with both classic real-time with pause and new turn-based combat, Deadfire builds on the foundation of classic tabletop gameplay more than ever before. You pick your mode from the outset. Warning: theres no changing the mode once youve begun a new campaign.
• All DLC is now available. If you purchased The Obsidian Edition, you already have access to all the post-launch content: Beast of Winter, Seeker, Slayer, Survivor, and The Forgotten Sanctum. If you havent picked up the DLC, nows the time! All the major DLCs feature new characters, stories, and more!
• The Ultimate - Face a series of challenges with all God Challenges, Trial of Iron, Path of the Damned, and Solo mode enabled.
• Go analog with Pillars Pen and Paper Rules. The dev team has such a passion for tabletop gaming, the inspiration behind Deadfire, that they penned their own Pen and Paper tabletop rules. Now bring them to your next party.
• Join the community! Talk to other Deadfire fans in the Versus Evil Discord channel and make friends at our Deadfire Discord channel!

Greetings Watchers, It's the 1 year anniversary since the launch of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire! We here at Obsidian and Versus Evil can't thank you enough for the support and feedback you have given the game since the Fig campaign launched two years ago. Now we're here, a year out from the release of Pillars II, and have one final patch for you all. The time has come for the launch of Update 5.0 for Deadfire! This patch brings some new features and bug fixes to Pillars II and our own Design Director, Josh Sawyer, has made a video to let you know what you can expect from the update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2XfForaMaQ Patch 5.0 Highlights There are a host of bug fixes in the 5.0 update that you can read on our forums, but here are some of the highlights for you:

New Ship UI
• An update to the UI has been implemented that will come up any time you engage with a ship on the seas that brings a more elegant way to perform ship-to-ship encounters. Turn-Based Mode Out of Beta
• Thanks to feedback from the community, we have made a lot of changes to turn-based mode to account for bugs and balance fixes and it is now in full release with the 5.0 patch. New Story Content Added
• After listening to feedback on the critical path of the game when it came to reactivity with Woedica and Eothas, so weve decided to go in and write new lines and get them recorded by the original actors to add more to that aspect of the game. Anarchist Path Adjustments
• Some critical path items have been moved out of Neketaka to other locations in the Deadfire to address the difficulty and length that the game had if choosing to not side with a faction at Ondras Mortar. The Ultimate
• The final God Challenge will be live with the 5.0 patch. This challenge, The Ultimate will turn on all other God Challenges, Trial of Iron, Path of the Damned, and Solo mode.

The Ultimate Challenge In addition to the above changes, Patch 5.0 also introduces the Ultimate Challenge for Deadfire. The challenge is not for the faint of heart, and only the most devoted and erudite of our players stand even a chance in this challenge, but the first twelve players to triumph will be immortalized in Obsidian's studio lobby for all to see. The first twelve Watchers to succeed at the challenge will get their names and their Watchers' names, classes, and levels upon our Deadfire Ultimate Challenge plaque hanging in our lobby. And yes, that means that everyone who comes through our studio will bear witness to the glory of your triumph. Not only that, but the first 50 players who complete the challenge will get a very special patch that not only celebrates your achievement wherever you wish to flex it, but also has Josh's face on it to let the world know you have his approval. The Ultimate Challenge Submission Guidelines and Terms In order to streamline the review and vetting process, please read the following submission guidelines and terms: [olist]

Cheating, including save-scumming, use of third-party tools or mods, and/or doing anything in a manner contrary to the spirit of the challenge is prohibited.

Console commands that do not require the "iroll20s" command be enabled are allowed.

Submissions must include a video of the entirety of your run and a save file of the run completed.

We reserve the right to disqualify a submission without notice or explanation. [/olist] If you have completed the challenge and wish to send it in for review and judgment, please send the following evidence to theultimate@obsidian.net:

• We require full video evidence of your run - acceptable forms of video include: YouTube playlist links, or direct download links via Dropbox.
• We also require the save game file with the completed challenge.

Pillars Pen and Paper Josh has updated the Pillars of Eternity Pen and Paper ruleset and had it playtested with an intrepid band of merry developers - he is now pleased to release it to the general public for play and feedback. You can download it from the front page of eternity.obsidian.net later today. We will also be pushing it live to your backer portals and, for those who have it, game libraries as well. Thank you again for your continued support! If you have any issues with the game, contact us through our support portal to help you on your journey. Cheers, The Deadfire team

New Features & Updates

• Shroud of the Phantasm - A new community-designed cape, the Shroud of the Phantasm seems to grant the wielder the favor of Wael, though the will of the God of Secrets is all but impossible to discern for certain. Wearers gain the ability to manifest illusory duplicates and are rarely, if the God of Secrets is watching, struck with bolts of understanding capable of turning the tide of battle. You can find this magical item hidden within Berkana's Observatory.
• Ability Tree Preview - Thanks to our programming team, the Class Ability Tree can now be viewed outside of the level up screen! This can be done from the Inventory/Character Sheet UI, or when recruiting a new companion.

  • Combat Chatter now provides more critical feedback and is easier to understand during combat.

  • Ability audio has been tuned to react to other sounds (i.e. gets softer when combat chatter is playing)

Hello fellow adventurers, The team at Obsidian is very proud of the reception that Deadfire is getting from the community, and we love reading and hearing your personal experiences as you explore the Deadfire for the first time. I would like to share what's in store for you in Pillars II over the next several months, including free content and new features! The first large update for Deadfire will be launching in early June - Patch 1.1. This update contains hundreds of fixes and refinements based upon our internal testing and all the great feedback we have been getting. Included in Patch 1.1 is a complete overhaul of Veteran and Path of the Damned difficulties. You'll find more enemies per encounter and with new level scaling adjustments the game should be much more challenging. Let us know what you think on the forums - this will be an ongoing process based on community feedback. Secondly, for players who want to play the game for a second (or third!) time, we are adding an option to skip the introduction and jump straight into the second scene. This option will be available on the new game screen and will not require any Berath's Blessings points to activate. Lastly, the team is also adding new cosmetic options for player customization with the ability to change character appearance at any time. While our programmers get Patch 1.1 ready, some of our artists and designers have had some time on their hands. They've put together the first of several free DLCs for Deadfire, "Rum Runner's Pack" which is coming out today. This pack features Mirke, a new Sidekick, along with a drunken personality idle animation and new alcoholic drinks. We will be releasing even more free DLC over the next few months that will add more items, ship upgrades, crew members, and appearance options. Look for the next free DLC to be available two weeks from now.
Just like the first Pillars of Eternity, the team is committed to support Deadfire with new features, content, bug fixes, and polish to make the game the best it can be. We are listening to your feedback on our forums, Reddit, social media, and user reviews - and the development team has many ideas for improvement, too. Through 2018, we have plans to add more quality of life changes to make the game better and better. For the mod community, we will be releasing documentation on the game data formats, and will be working on tools to help facilitate mods. Another feature that the team is really excited about is what we are calling "Magran's Fires". Similar to Berath's Blessings, these modes can be enabled from the main menu and will add gameplay modifiers for challenges above and beyond Path of the Damned. In addition to the returning Triple Crown and Triple Crown Solo challenges, we will be rolling out challenges themed to Eora's gods, beginning with Berath, Galawain, and, of course, Magran. As always, we are listening to feedback on what you would like to see in future updates. Don't forget we have three expansive DLCs on the horizon. The first DLC, "Beast of Winter", is due to land this July. We will be showing off the new areas and content in the DLC soon! It's been an amazing journey, and we aren't done yet. Thank you for your continued support for Pillars of Eternity and Obsidian. Now go forth, download "Rum Runner's Pack", and have a drink with your new friend Mirke. Cheers, Adam Brennecke Executive Producer The Rum Runner's Pack is available now, so go grab it here. Reach out to us on our various social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and on our forums) and let us know your comments, your critiques, and what you love about the game.
