Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire New content released today

Welcome back to another Backer Update, and rejoice! We've launched three major pieces of content today, including our first major DLC - Beast of Winter. Check out the trailer below:

Patch 2.0
Alongside Beast of Winter, Deadfire itself has an update today. Those of our community who have made Path of the Damned bow to their prowess may want to look for the secret menu in our main menu to access Magran's Fires, or the challenge modes we've implemented into the game. While we've officially brought back Triple Crown and Solo modes, we've also included two new modes named after Magran and Berath, respectively. Starting a game with any of these challenges will automatically put you in Path of the Damned with all cheats and mods disabled and with level scaling only going upwards.

Triple Crown mode activates both Trial of Iron and Expert modes simultaneously - which, in turn, means that players will get no helper features and only one save... which is deleted if you die.

Solo mode prevents any recruitment of party members. That means no companions, no sidekicks, and no adventurers!

Magran's Challenge prevents players from pausing or slowing down the game - though you can, of course, increase the speed at your own risk.

Berath's Challenge prevents players from fleeing combat and will kill any party member that is Knocked Out for six seconds.
