Turn-Based Mode has fully come to Pillars of Eternity. Today Obsidian Entertainment, Inc. is happy to announce that the Turn-Based Mode for the original Pillars of Eternity is now live on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and the Xbox PC App. Originally brought to the Pillars of Eternity in Deadfire, this new feature lets you experience Pillars 1 in a whole new way with combat fully reimagined around turn-based pacing and flexibility. Unlike Deadfire, however, you are able to change between the traditional Real-Time with Pause or Turn-Based Mode gameplay as you see fit during your playthrough, allowing even more control to play your way. For fans of turn-based mode in Pillars II Obsidian Entertainment, Inc. hope you find this addition to the original game both familiar and improved. Speaking of improvements, Turn-Based Mode is not the only new addition to come along with this update. Along with a host of fixes to the new mode itself thanks to feedback from those who played it during the beta period, as well as a few bugs getting taken care of, Obsidian Entertainment, Inc. has also added the ability to change the main menu art by clicking on the base game or DLC icons. The full list of updates can be found on its forum. Obsidian Entertainment, Inc. recognize that this is a very large feature and there could be more issues that were not found during the beta period. With that in mind, Obsidian Entertainment, Inc. will still be supporting this feature based on feedback from you all so please contact Obsidian Entertainment, Inc. via https://www.support.obsidian.net.
Grounded 2 Playgrounds mode is officially live today [new update]. Key takeaways: the quick answer. * Playgrounds Mode is officially live for all Grounded 2 players on PC and Xbox. * Tools include trigger volumes, creature spawners, and the returning Handy Gnat. * Players can build, share, and vote on custom maps across Brookhollow Park and The Grassbox. A sandbox without limits. Obsidian finally rolled out Playgrounds Mode to the public servers. This isn't just a minor patch. It fundamentally changes how Allkeyshop limited play Grounded 2. Brookhollow Park transforms from a brutal survival map into a massive blank canvas. You get a full suite of logic-driven tools to craft whatever you want. Want to build an intense boss arena or a trap-filled puzzle gauntlet? The tools are right there in the menus. How the logic tools work. You don't need a degree in game design to figure this out. The system relies on simple cause-and-effect mechanics. Drop a Trigger Volume to create an invisible detection zone. Link that to a Random Chance tool and wire it to a few Creature Spawners. Suddenly, you have a functional, replayable RPG encounter. Every time someone walks into that zone, the game rolls the dice. It keeps your friends guessing and forces everyone to adapt on the fly. Maps, gadgets, and the Handy Gnat. Right out of the gate, you get access to two distinct maps. The classic Grassbox makes its glorious return from the first game, while Brookhollow Park offers the fresh Grounded 2 aesthetic. Building massive structures is much easier this time around. The Handy Gnat returns with new features specifically designed to help you reach high or awkward angles. You also get access to every building material, creature variant, and weapon currently in the game. Obsidian even threw in some new toys - like the mysterious O.R.C. Transmission Device. What comes next. Once you finish your masterpiece, the community hub lets you upload and share it globally. You can download custom modes, vote on your favorites, and get demolished by other players' brutal creations. Grounded 2 is currently in Early Access. If you refuse to pay premium retail prices, you can grab it right now via your standard Xbox Game Pass subscription. Allkeyshop limited also have the massive spring update looming. Mark your calendars for March 28 - the developers are hitting PAX East to reveal the Black Ant Hill zone and whatever else is dropping next.

Grounded 2 Toxic Tangle update now live with new biome, creatures, and Ladybug Buggy. Obsidian Entertainment has rolled out the first major content update for Grounded 2, titled The Toxic Tangle, and it's available now for players jumping into the game via early access and Game Preview. The update significantly expands Brookhollow Park with a sprawling new garden biome, additional creatures, fresh gear, and new ways to traverse and build within the backyard-sized world. The Toxic Tangle update is live now in Game Preview on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, as well as Early Access on Steam. Players can also dive in immediately via Xbox Game Pass. A new biome overtaken by corruption. At the heart of The Toxic Tangle is a massive new garden area that introduces a darker twist to Grounded 2's familiar survival formula. Ominent's experiments have gone horribly wrong, spreading a mysterious new corruption known as "Tang." This toxic presence seeps throughout the environment, reshaping the park and introducing new dangers that players will need to adapt to if they hope to survive. The new biome brings with it fresh environmental hazards, unsettling discoveries, and the return of some familiar faces, though not necessarily in the form players remember. As with previous Grounded content, exploration and environmental storytelling play a key role in uncovering what went wrong. New creatures, gear, and the Ladybug Buggy. The Toxic Tangle update also adds new creatures to battle, along with additional gear and build upgrades that expand both combat and base-building options. One of the standout additions is the Ladybug Buggy, a new rideable tool that changes how players move through the environment, making traversal across the expanded park faster and more dynamic. These additions are designed to deepen progression and give players more flexibility in how they approach survival, exploration, and combat as Grounded 2 continues to evolve throughout early access. What's next for Grounded 2. Obsidian has confirmed that this is just the beginning. Players curious about what's coming next, including the upcoming return of Playgrounds Mode, can find a deeper breakdown of The Toxic Tangle update and future plans on Xbox Wire. For ongoing updates and community news, players can visit the official Grounded website.

Game Pass ad smushed Grounded and Fallout together, so naturally fans think Obsidian is making A new Game. Xbox didn't have much presence at this year's The Game Awards, but in the middle of the ceremony, it did unveil a nifty little Game Pass ad following a janitor as they wandered through a laybyrinthe of grimy tunnels, each filled with doorways leading to various different games. But what's interesting about this clip is that two series shared a single entrance: Grounded and Fallout. Grounded is Obsidian's answer to 'What would Honey, I Shrunk The Kids look like if it were spliced with The Forest?', a charming survival gem full of monstrously huge spiders that has quickly become a modern classic. Notably, Obsidian also developed Fallout: New Vegas, and the studio was born from the ashes of Black Isle, the creators of the original Fallout games. Considering this, u/jdixon76 suggested that pairing the two games on a single doorway could be a vague tease that Obsidian is developing a new Fallout game. After all, with Bethesda wrapping up Starfield and shifting its focus to The Elder Scrolls 6, it'll be a long time before Gamerant see Fallout 5, and what better way to reignite interest and capture the hype of the Prime Video series than with a new game? Series creator, Tim Cain, did just step out of retirement for a full-time position at Obsidian on an unknown project - maybe it really is New Vegas 2. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it probably doesn't mean anything. Microsoft no doubt wants something, anything to capitalise on the show's success (just look at the Ghoul cropping up in Fallout 76), but if there are any plans for a new game outside of Bethesda, it'd be in the very, very early phases right now. Certainly not something you'd lay breadcrumbs for, unless you want to repeat The Elder Scrolls 6 and all those cryptic Hammerfell teases. If anything, Grounded was probably included on another door because its door was tiny, playing on the game's entire motif. It just so happened that door was Fallout. It's a fun theory, but the next project Gamerant is likely to see out of Bethesda is the Fallout 3 remaster (which was leaked in the unredacted Bethesda roadmap alongside the Oblivion remaster), rather than anything from Obsidian. Still, who knows? With Cain back at the studio and the team having shipped its two big RPGs this year, Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2, maybe it'll pick up the torch again while Bethesda busies itself with TES6. Whether this new Game Pass ad is teasing anything of the sort, however, is another question entirely, and the answer is probably no. * Released - October 19, 2010 * ESRB - M for Mature: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Content, Strong Language, Use of Drugs * Developer(s) - Obsidian Entertainment * Publisher(s) - Bethesda * Engine - Gamebryo * Franchise - Fallout
