Video games publisher Versus Evil in partnership with Obsidian Entertainment today unveiled a digital scavenger hunt for all Pillars of Eternity fans that lets them unlock special in-game items for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire when it releases on May 8th, 2018.
The Explorer’s Society Scavenger Hunt encourages gamers to search for secret codes ‘hidden’ in a variety of online and printed promotional assets for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. To take part, they simply have to sign up at the official website www.deadfirescavenger.com by using their existing Obsidian.net account, or by creating a new one. After connecting their Steam profiles, they can start hunting down codes wherever they can find them and then enter them on Obsidian.net. Doing so unlocks up to 10 digital in-game items. Each item requires a different number of codes to unlock and progress is tracked via the official site.
Codes have been hidden in all manner of game-related assets, from concept art, to screenshots, to GIFs and trailers.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire will release on May 8th for PC, MAC and Linux.
To everyone participating in this event, the very first code is hidden at the bottom of the initial signup screen, which is linked from our news story: iXncsY
The Deadfire community is amazing. Within a few minutes of this news release, they wrote and let us know where they are tracking these codes. There are enough here to get yourself a Thunder Cannon for your ship! Whatever that is, but it sounds good!
