The news was first spotted by Reddit users on the. Hopefully more official reveals for the game will come in 2022. Obsidian Entertainment might be building its next big project, Avowed, with Unreal Engine 5 technology. KitGuru Says: Obsidian is one of the most exciting studios in Microsoft's roster and so far, it sounds like Avowed will live up to that excitement.

It is also worth noting that Obsidian is still hiring for multiple positions, so the production team is still growing.

As for when the rest of us might see Avowed in action, it could be as soon as E3 2022, which would make sense if a 2023 release window is planned. What we saw is brief, but it reveals a few key. While The Outer Worlds is described as Obsidian's take on Fallout, Avowed is more akin to The Elder Scrolls, but with a more vibrant world to explore. Here's the Avowed announcement trailer Avowed was first revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase in 2020 with an ominous cinematic trailer. Weapon enchantments are also said to be a big point of focus, allowing for imbued weapons, like frozen arrows, poison daggers etc. Spells like Jolting Touch, Fetid Caress and Fireball return in Avowed. There could be changes as development goes, but it seems that the cinematic reveal trailer remained true to the gameplay Obsidian is looking to offer.Īvowed is based on the Pillars of Eternity IP, so players of those titles will recognise some of the in-game abilities. The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about Obsidian Entertainments fantasy. Interestingly, the first-person spell shown in the initial reveal trailer plays out exactly the same way in-game right now. Avowedcast is a podcast for the Obsidian RPG video game called Avowed. Some of these mechanics include a two-handed combat system, multiple playable classes and a magic system.

Early pre-alpha footage of the game and documentation was shown to Windows Central, revealing that the studio is close to having a fully working early version of the game, with core mechanics and gameplay implemented. New information on Avowed has been revealed by sources familiar with Obsidian's internal plans. Now thanks to new leaks this week, we know much more about the game. Avowed was first announced in 2020 and is reportedly aiming for a 2023 release. At this point, the team is working on Grounded, The Outer Worlds 2 and most excitingly, Avowed, a new fantasy RPG. The ideal scenario is that Obsidian comes forward and reveals a veritable deluge of details sometime. Obsidian has been keeping busy since joining Xbox Game Studios. Avowed will really make a mark on gaming history if it can outshine such a fantasy cornerstone.
