"The response to Pillars of Eternity has been incredible," said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. "We knew, when we started work on the game following our crowdfunding campaign, we had the potential to create the kind of game world we'd want to visit again and again for a very long time. The White March is just the second step in our own long campaign to bring more and more of the Pillars of Eternity world to life, but with us always making sure we live up to the faith our fans have placed in us."
