January 14th, 2015, 11:42
A member of site by the name of jadabu sent information about the release date for Pillars of Eternity. Unfortunately the sites are in Spanish, but here you go.

It looks like the release date of Project Eternity is finally out:

Sorry can't find a single English one as the links were sent in by a member.

I decided to do a quick Google translation,
Currently the distributor unable to give a firm launch date , but suggest that it debuts in late March . Furthermore, it is confirmed that come in two different editions: Hero and Champion.

Yeah, I read the google translation as well. But it isn't mentioned where he has the date from.

Apparently it's an estimate from the distributor called Meridiem Games. Either their pulling the date out of thin air, or they have knowledge we don't have yet.

Link - http://www.meridiem-games.com/en/index.php

So I'm adding a ? to the news-bit title just to be safe.

Just did a quick check on amazon.de, where PoE is said to be released at Match 13th. Seems like it's distributed by Koch Media in Germany. Didn't know that before.

Thanks Morrandir so it seems possible for release in March. I wonder why no official announcement has been made on the games website, or kickstarter page?

Now hopefully that Amazon Date isn't a guess, or placeholder date.

From experience I wouldn't invest much trust in an Amazon release date.

True as Amazon release dates are not always accurate, and they have been wrong plenty of times. Still I'm tempted to believe as the game is severely behind schedule.

Also the last official update said 1st quarter of 2015 was the target.

apparently there was all sorts of balance / fundamental issues with the combat engine, has that been resolved?

I don't know as I stopped playing the Beta. Last I heard more content was added, and Obsidian stated the game was getting closer to being finished.

I do know though they can't afford to delay the game another year.

It was getting better the last I looked. However, the demo really isn't any fun. It is very hard to tell whether Eternity will be a good game or not. This is an Obsidian game. Ripping a demo out of the middle without any story attached is not showing their forte.

I haven't played the beta, but many people think combat has become more enjoyable. Most of the issues which remain are a matter of taste. For example some people like the new engagement system, while others hate it. Some people hate that wizards no longer has access to instant disable spells like petrification and hold person, while others find this good.

I need to sit down and actually play it meticulously, but early access stuff is hard for me to commit to. That said, I played up to the ogre and didn't exactly find it that great overall. I like the dialogue a lot, but I found the skill system kinda generic a few months back.

I was hoping this game would be special, and out of all the kickstarter funded biggies it was the one I anticpated most, but it seems like it would be prudent to wait and see how things turn out (vs purchase immediately, prepurchase, etc).

I'm also really sick of seeing community funded games that are basically indie productions going at insanely high prices when every sale is 100% profit for the developer. At this point I don't want to contribute to these people and will wait for a sale if they keep the release price as stupidly high as the pre-purchase price.

I buy a lot of high quality indie games that usually have far lower prices and most of those developers don't have the community 100% funding their development.
