England, 12th century: Philip the monk becomes Prior of the small
abbey of Kingsbridge. At the same time, a boy called Jack is raised by
his outlawed mother in the woods. His apprenticeship as a stonemason
paves his way to become a great architect. Soon, his steps lead him to
Kingsbridge where he will build one of the greatest cathedrals England
has ever seen. Aliena and Richard have to survive on their own, after
the sibling's father, the Earl of Shiring, has been incarcerated and
murdered. Aliena vows to make her brother the rightful heir and Earl of
Shiring. Like Jack, their way leads them to Kingsbridge. Aliena puts her
expertise as a tradeswoman to good use, supporting the cathedral's
construction and falls in love with Jack. But Kingsbridge and its people
are in grave danger. Philip's rivals, Bishop Waleran and Wiliam, a
vengeful noble rejected by Aliena, see the town and its rise to
importance as a thorn in their flesh. They want to see Kingsbridge burn.
The
game-adaption of the world-bestseller "The Pillars of the Earth" is the
first co-operative project of Daedalic Entertainment and Bastei Lübbe.
This game will be more than just complementary media to the book and
will instead retell the story in a new, interactive way. A team of about
20 people works to create a multi-platform adaption of this bestseller.
The writers are also in contact and co-operation with the Follett
Office and Ken Follett himself. Daedalic is the only studio at the time
adapting such an epic reading-experience into an interactive format.
The
game itself will be released in 2017, at the same time the third novel
of the Kingsbridge-Series will be published. The game will be
internationally available for PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox One and mobile
devices.
