Obsidian Entertainment has announced that Pillars of Eternity, its upcoming highly-anticipated RPG, has achieved "gold status" and is on track for a March 26th release date. The announcement marks the final opportunity for interested fans to pre-order a copy of the game prior to its release.

Pillars of Eternity is an RPG inspired by classic titles such as Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment, featuring an original world and unique game system, Pillars of Eternity ushers in a renaissance for a much beloved style of role playing game. Funded via Kickstarter in late 2012, raising over $4 million through both backer pledges on Kickstarter and PayPal. Pillars of Eternity has been a project of passion for both the development team and the loyal fans who made it possible.

    This may very well end up being the best RPG since Skyrim. Totally psyched.

    Well I am all excited now. Excuse me, time for some new pantaloons...

    That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!

    I didn't find anything saying how many hours of gameplay there are expected to be. Does anyone know?

    60 to 80 hours and that before mods and player made content :)

    I believe the mod'ing is going to be rather limited at first?  Seems like they said at PAX that was more of a "down the road" thing.

     

    @Jalitan, there should also be a fair amount of replay-ability to it as well.  You could replay as other classes, make other choices in quest lines, and see how those events unfold.  

     

    The game is going to be amazing, the only thing that I can even find to nitpick is the lack of a classic Alignment system.  I quite like having my allies try to kill me if I've been slacking on senseless murder, keeps my head on track.

    There will be no multiplayer although they are planning on a second game which may then have it included but at this point it's all a guessing game for the second game.

    Too bad about no multiplayer. Was looking forward to playing with friends...:(

    This type of RPG really isn't meant for multiplayer, in my opinion. I don't remember many old school RPGs having multiplayer either. The focus is on single player story, not on co-op. I for one am glad the focus was on the RPG aspects.

    Thanks @TribeofOne and @biblestudy. This helped make my decision to pre-order.
