The expansion offers the following:

  • Higher level cap
  • New artifacts
  • New Rogue and Monk companions
  • New abilities
  • Party AI
  • Multiclassing
  • A new realm to explore
  • A new story by Carrie Patel, author of the Recoletta series and writer on the original Pillars of Eternity, and Eric Fenstermaker, lead writer on Pillars of Eternity and one of the co-writers of South Park: The Stick of Truth

Pillars of Eternity itself was created as a love letter to CRPG’s of the past like Baldur’s Gate and Planescape: Torment, but The White March takes this admiration a step further by looking to the Icewind Dale franchise for its inspiration in snow themed environments.

Pillars of Eternity released to widespread critical acclaim back in March and is currently one of the highest rated games of 2015, earning an average Metacritic score of 89. With a retail price of $45 and a 40+ hour campaign that will be even larger with The White March, Pillars of Eternity is arguably the best bargain in the 2015 release calendar.
