Pillars of Eternity’s director has joked that he’d love to do a third game - all he needs is a $120 million commitment from Xbox.
Josh Sawyer is a RPG veteran, having worked on the likes of Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Fallout New Vegas over the decades. He also directed both the Pillars of Eternity games at developerObsidian Entertainment, and now in the tweet below, he’s revealed that all he needs to make a third game in the series is $120 million from Xbox. No biggie.
The joke from Sawyer came about from someone on Twitter speculating about whetherBaldur’s Gate 3’s runaway success could spur on RPGs to new heights. That would be really nice to see - it’d be amazing to see publishers go big on dialog-heavy and hardcore RPGs in the future off the back of Baldur’s Gate 3, but obviously Sawyer thinks this might be a bit of a pipe dream.
