Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Is Crowdfunding $100,000 an Hour

The Newly Launched Crowdfunding Campaign for Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Is Raising Nearly $100,000 an Hour

Following in the footsteps of Obsidianโ€™s original Pillars of Eternity game, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire launched a crowdfunding campaign to help them kick things off. While all of this just started today at 10am PST, the campaign has raised over $500,000, averaging them just about $100,000 an hour, which is an insane feat.

The original Pillars of Eternity game raised about $4 million as opposed to its $1.1 million goal, which became the highest amount given to a crowdfunding campaign at that time. Not long after, it was beaten out by Shenmue III, which brought in a total of $6.3 million. The new Pillars of Eternity game has until Feb. 24th to reach that goal if they plan on beating out Shenmue III, but at the rate that theyโ€™re going, they might actually beat that number in no time at all.
