Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition Coming to Nintendo Switch

If you’re interested in revisiting Obsidian Entertainment’s Infinity Engine-inspired RPG Pillars of Eternity and wouldn’t mind playing it on a portable console, come August 8, 2019, you’ll be able to purchase the game for your Nintendo Switch. Priced at $49.99, the console-focused Complete Edition includes both The White March expansions, which I believe to be the game’s main attraction. You can currently pre-oreder it from the official Nintendo Store.
