The first two chapters of Ken Follett’s bestseller – The Pillars of the Earth – have released in the months proceeding, but now we get the chance to finish the fight for good as Daedalic sign off with the third and final chapter, seeing the trilogy come together in one super neat package.
Arriving today on Xbox One, PS4 and PC is the entire adventure of The Pillars of the Earth, bringing conclusion to the legendary book of life. With players who already own the first two chapters on Steam – From The Ashes and Sowing The Wind – automatically unlocking the third and final chapter, you’ll find that play will seamlessly move from one to the other upon completion.
The Pillars of the Earth trilogy adapts classic adventure mechanics to tell the tale of the fictional English town of Kingsbridge in the 12th century. Taking on the roles of Jack, Aliena and Philip, your decision making will have a direct impact on the events of the book, as the story focuses on the town’s efforts to build a cathedral to secure wealth and security. But a civil war has raged throughout England and Normandy for almost two decades and this ensures you’ll find a story full of intrigue and conspiracy surrounding the big events of the era, as the people of England find the levers of power up for grabs.
“Taking Ken Follett’s celebrated novel and turning it into an interactive adventure has been as exciting as it was challenging,” says Matt Kempke, co-author and game designer of The Pillars of the Earth. “We wanted to do justice to a story that immerses itself fully in English history, combining fact with fiction to create a potent tale that found a massive audience when it was released. The three chapters we’ve made now sync together to create one, expansive adventure we think point-and-click fans will love.”
