JPThe "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" Fig crowdfunding campaign has just ended and to say that it was a success will be an understatement. Obsidian's upcoming video game managed to rake in $4.4million in pledges making it the most successful crowdfunding video game campaign since 2015.

The "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" crowdfunding campaign was able to get a total of $4,407,598 in pledges. The amount was gathered from 33,614 backers.
Out of the $4,407,598 pledges earned by the "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" Fig crowdfunding campaign, $2.25million came from investments. The other $2.15million gathered from the crowdfunding effort was through traditional pledges.
With the $2.25milllion in the form of investments, "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" is Fig's most successful video game in terms of equity funding. The total $4,407,598 gathered pledges also makes the game the most successful crowdfunded game since 2015.
The "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" Fig crowdfunding effort was able to hit its $1.1million target in less than 24 hours and was able to break the $3million threshold earlier this week. The "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire" release date is scheduled in Q1 2018.
