Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire released back in 2018 on PC, and it was met with a lot of praise. The Obsidian-crafted role-playing game is a supposedly much improved sequel to Pillars of Eternity -- a title that's already stuffed full of old school RPG goodness.
Anyway, Deadfire's finally got a PlayStation 4 release date, with publisher Versus Evil confirming that the game will launch on the 28th January, 2020. Compared to its predecessor, the sequel boasts a number of gameplay additions, including the ability to enable turn based combat, rather than real time combat that's built for pausing.
Dubbed Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire - Ultimate Edition on Sony's system, the package will also include three previously released expansions. This is one that you're going to be playing for a long, long time.

Haven't played the original yet as the apparent loading times put me off, but might give it a go on my new ps5 (if my backlog ever decreases).
I absolutely loved the first game despite the insane loading times, definitely picking this up although if I hear it's ending up on Stadia at some point I may wait. The PS4 version has been delayed so long now it's ridiculous.
@ShaiHulud yes, i can confirm, the beginning of the game the load times aren't too bad but towards the end they are almost unbearable
To be fair by the time it comes out you'll have been able to finish and 100% fallen order and outer worlds easily. Pillars of eternity could easily last you until April if the first one is anything to go by.
Will pick it up if the load times are not horrendous. Plus it will fill the void of pathfinder kingmaker not releasing
I never did finish Pillars. I thought Divinity: Original Sin was much better.
Playing it now after completing the first one. Yeah, it's a lot better. Way more soul, more emotion to the story and characters, improved levelling, combat, customisation, etc. Fully voice acted, better graphics. You name it, they've improved on it. Some people don't like the piratey setting but as a huge One Piece fan that just make it even better for me.
@Shepherd_Tallon Those first 2 games are pretty short. TOW ends just when you think the be story is really getting going, sadly. Fallen Order takes about 15-20 hours. Still both great games, though.
That said, if Cyberpunk 2077 is anything like TW3, you'll still be playing that when it really is 2077, so maybe you have a point.
