Pillars of Eternity's Snow-Themed First Expansion Gets Release Date

Obsidian Entertainment has confirmed the release date for the first expansion for role-playing game Pillars of Eternity. The expansion is called The White March - Part 1, and it's slated to arrive on PC on August 25.

Announced at E3 in June, the expansion raises the level cap, adds more items and abilities, and introduces a new realm and more rogue and monk companions. Its snowy environments are inspired by Icewind Dale.

Whether you've finished the main Pillars of Eternity campaign or not, you'll get access to The White March and its various items and characters. Watch the video below to learn more about the expansion.

Since The White March is referred to as Part 1, it sounds like an additional expansion--or updates for this one--will be coming in the future.
