The Fig tree is bearing some big fruit.<\/p>\n

Today is Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire<\/a>\u2018s last day of crowdfunding, and it has passed some big milestones. Fig announced that the PC, Mac, and Linux role-playing game is the most successful campaign ever for the crowdfunding site, right now achieving over $4.2 million with about five hours left to go.\u00a0Fig also noted to GamesBeat that this is the first crowdfunded game to pass $4 million since 2015, with Shenmue 3 (6.3 million) and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night ($5.5 million).<\/p>\n

Both of those game\u2019s were on Fig competitor Kickstarter. Unlike Kickstarter, Fig allows for equity backing, which could give people a share in a game\u2019s profits. Before Pillars of Eternity II, Psychonauts 2 was Fig\u2019s most successful crowdfunding campaign. It raised over $3.8 million.<\/p>\n

The original Pillars of Eternity raised $3,986,929 on Kickstarter in 2012, making it the No. 4 game in Kickstarter history. Since then, Obsidian chief executive officer Feargus Urquhart helped start Fig. This is the first Obsidian project to appear on Fig.<\/p>\n

Obsidian is famous for its RPGs, which includes hits like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, Fallout: New Vegas, and South Park: The Stick of Truth.<\/p>\n
