Evaluation
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire launched on May 8, 2018 and received a full post-launch content cycle that is now complete. The Season Pass (DLC-8) included three paid story DLCs — Beast of Winter (August 2, 2018), Seeker, Slayer, Survivor (September 25, 2018), and The Forgotten Sanctum (December 13, 2018) — all of which have shipped. In the December 2018 patch notes for The Forgotten Sanctum (NEWS-4), Obsidian explicitly described it as "our last paid DLC." Following that, the only major post-launch addition was the free Turn-Based Mode, which launched in beta on January 24, 2019 (NEWS-8) and was finalized in Patch 5.0 (referenced in the store's short description). No new content has been announced or released since that point. The publisher's retrospective post from December 2023 (NEWS-1) refers to Deadfire in the past tense as part of their back catalog, with no mention of any future plans for the game. All 10 DLC entries on the store are marked as released, and there are no unreleased DLC listings. The game launched as a complete, finished product by mid-2019.
