Reigniting the old flame.

UPDATE: All owners of the game can go ahead and grab the Rum Runner's Pack for free. It adds six new alcohol-themed items and Mirke, a recruitable sidekick that really loves her booze.
If you don't own the Deluxe or Obsidian edition of the game, you can also now purchase the game's Sountrack separately.

Note: If you already own the first Pillars of Eternity on GOG, go to your library and look under Serial Keys. You should see a bonus code which you can use to redeem your Gaun's Pledge DLC for Pillars of Eternity II.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is here, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The sequel to Obsidian's seminal RPG, which brought back all the immersion and attention to detail we remember from the genre's classics, has finally arrived. Introducing naval battle mechanics, a new vast open world, a relationship system that now affects interactions between your companions, and an epic story involving the re-emergence of an old god, it might just become the RPG you'll be replaying for all eternity!

Go for the Deluxe Edition, which includes a Digital P&P Guide, the official OST, the second Volume of the Digital Guidebook and more. You can also grab that stuff separately inside the Explorer's Pack.
Or plan for the future with the Obsidian Edition, which also grants you access to the Season Pass, that contains the first three pieces of planned DLC.

For all those experiencing download problems (greyed out buttons) please try account refresh first:

https://www.gog.com/account/refresh

EDIT: single account refresh will work, please avoid refreshing the account multiple times. There is a slight lag due to the sheer amount of requests, but we are working on speeding things up.

Thank you for your patience.

EDIT2: If after refresh and you are using Galaxy Client and on your shelf you have any other version than "Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire", try buying free DLC for POE2 through the Client. That should force client cache refresh.
(DLC should be visible on Overview page [::PIC::])

previous BETA players
please switch from Public Beta to default branch to get the full version

I got it on steam (for reasons that I will not explain here), you should know that it's a DRM-free release also on steam.

Just in case someone has problem running PoE2 on Linux, here's workaround:

Two questions: Got the Fig Premium Digital Edition, am I also supposed to find Critical Role Pack in my account? I don't seem to have it.

Also, there are apparently some goodies you could get with codes by connecting your steam account to the Versus Evil website, any chance we'll be getting those things on GOG too?

this is awesome news!! guys if you can't download, just get your money back and buy it on steam. the only point to buy poe2 on gog would be, if you like to be f*cked up by your game distributor.

I have my suspicions why it doesn't appear there, but I suppose it won't be fixed until tomorrow in the office ;)

Steam is DRM itself, so no, it's not DRM free. What you probably mean is that there is no additional DRM, such as u-play. Some releases on Steam have extra DRM on top of steam. GTAV for example requires a rockstar social account.
If you want to have a totally DRM free release, then it's here on GOG. Nowhere else.

Let me just say THANKS to both GOG and the PoE 2 team here. In comparison with the PoE 1 release (handling and all), this is much smoother.


So what has changed with PoE 2:

- 3 Editions of the game that finally make sense and I'm really happy that the Obsidian Edition only offers a season pass compared to Deluxe (the one I bought).

- On the GOG side, upgrade paths on release day. I'm happy that at the end of the month I can pickup the season pass at my convenience.


I hope all releases will be this smooth, thank you :-)

What's the story with backers? Will Obsidian send out keys somehow?

UPDATE: I figured, I had to generate the GOG key on Obsidian backer portal. All is good now :)

Steam is just like Galaxy in some cases, in that once it downloads the files they are DRM free and can be used/transferred/reused without Steam. Pillars2 must be one of those (relatively rare) games. There's a list of them on this forum somewhere so DRM boycotters can buy them.

The need for an account to download is not DRM, otherwise GOG would have DRM on every game.

The difference between them are the presence (in case of GOG) and absence (in case of Steam) of installers.
