Indie game publisher Versus Evil has cancelled the port of Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire for Switch. This comes almost four years after the original announcement, and the news came in a strange way. Rather than a public announcement, a Versus Evil employee posted the news in the publisher’s Discord, as shared on Reddit.
After so many years without any news, it isn’t the biggest surprise in the world. Even more so considering that the first game in the series, Pillar of Eternity, launched in 2019 in quite a broken state. The last update we got on a Pillars of Eternity 2 Switch release was in late 2019, with Versus Evil saying the game was “coming soon”. Clearly, something didn’t pan out.
Over on the Nintendo Switch Reddit, there’s a mixture of disappointed fans and others who knew that it was inevitable, with most decrying the state of the first game in the series.
