Pillars of Eternity: Definitive Edition [Official Site] has been announced for release on November 15th, bringing all current content as well as a new DLC into one package.
It will contain the original game, The White March: Parts I & II DLC packs, all content originally in the Pillars of Eternity: Royal Edition plus a brand new Deadfire Pack DLC. The new DLC will have new in-game items to earn and discover, and new portraits from the forthcoming sequel, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. Worth noting that the new Deadfire Pack DLC will be free for existing owners, as a thank you for supporting the game.
I know some of you wait for these types of editions to come out, so you get everything together. Hopefully this will be interesting for some of you.
The Definitive Edition will be priced around $39.99, which sounds like a damn good deal for the amount of content on offer here.
On top of that, Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition will get a reduced price when the Definitive Edition is released. With more sales due before the year is up, it might still be worth waiting anyway.

Quoting: Mountain ManI wonder if there will be a lower-priced upgrade for people who already own the original game?
This. I have the pre-order edition on GOG, but neither of the White March DLC.
I doubt, seeing as they've not had any upgrades between editions since release, but I can hope!
Quoting: bekoIf it doesn't show up on release you may drop them a mail. I'll do it too in that case :)QuoteThe new Deadfire Pack DLC will also be made available for free to all existing (and future) owners of Pillars of Eternity on Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs to thank them for their ongoing support of what has become one of the world’s most beloved RPGs.

You can quote yourself if you like, but neither your original post, nor their website answers my question.
I have the basic pre-order edition, which is essentially the Hero edition. The Definitive edition is going to include all content from the Royal edition. Obsidian has never offered any way for people to upgrade already purchased editions.
I'll get the Deadfire DLC for free, and I can buy the White March DLCs, but I still won't have all of the content of the new Definitive edition.
And unless they offer some sort of upgrade path, the only way to get that content is to re-buy the whole game, which I'm not willing to do.
