According to Windows Central, Avowed is an “action-oriented first-person combat and deep RPG exploration and narrative systems” that’s working on an engine similar to that of Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds. Speaking with “trusted and proven sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans”, the report details the game’s combat styles, artistic aesthetics, and links to other games in Obsidian’s back catalog. There’s been little in the way of official news when it comes to Avowed, but a report from Windows Central (opens in new tab) may have shed at least a little more like on what we can expect from the game. We get a brief glimpse of the player viewpoint at the end, showing off a similar first-person outlook and the ability to wield a sword in one hand and cast rune-based spells in the other. The first Avowed trailer sets the scene clearly, with medieval battlements, flaming arrows, and plenty of war-torn landscape beset with skeleton warriors. But when I think about our lineup, and I think about that more core fantasy RPG setting, I think Avowed is gonna be an awesome entrance there.”Įither way, we're excited to see what Obsidian brings to the table, even if it cleaves close to Skyrim in its combination of spell-aided combat and epic open-world quests. “I think the games are very different, so maybe I struggle a little bit to say that’s our version of this, just knowing what and the team are going off to do. When asked on an IGN podcast (opens in new tab) if Avowed will play an Elder Scrolls role for Xbox, given the Elder Scrolls 6 is quite a while off yet, Spencer responded: Expect a very controller-friendly RPG.īased on its trailer, Avowed has drawn some comparisons with the Elder Scrolls series in terms of its appearance but Phil Spencer has said there are “distinct differences” between the games. Avowed being announced on an Xbox stream, for a launch across PC, Xbox, and Game Pass, confirms how different this is going to be. What's also new here is that the POE games were very much PC-first experiences, even if both 2015's Pillars of Eternity and 2018's sequel Deadfire came to current-gen consoles a couple of years after their initial launch dates. Pillars of Eternity largely focused on the nation of Dyrwood, though, so we could see Avowed explore a different nation, continent, or part of the world we haven't seen before. We expect fans of the POE games will be sure to recognize elements of the world. So, the game will feel quite different from its predecessors. Set in Eora, the world of the Pillars of Eternity games, both games are developed by Obsidian but Avowed will take a first-person perspective, rather than POE's isometric perspective. Microsoft also announced that Destiny 2 and all of its expansions will arrive on the Xbox Game Pass in September and that D ragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age will be the first entry in the series to launch on the Xbox.Avowed is a fantasy RPG.

Meanwhile, it appears that Microsoft is walking back on its commitment to the Xbox One, with Avowed among the games that had mentions of Xbox One support removed.ĭigital Trends has reached out to Obsidian for comments on the rumors, and we will update this article as soon as we hear back. The rumored features, if true, will take advantage of the processing power of the upcoming Xbox Series X. However, players who are already looking forward to Avowed may have to wait for a bit, as the game will reportedly not launch until late 2022 or early 2023.
The rumor also claims that the game will have “very very large” bosses.Īround 100 people are on the project, which has been in development for two years and seven months, according to sponger. Avowed will also reportedly feature real-time weather with fog as an important element and rivers with specific microphysics systems, as well as a “very advanced character creation tool.”Īvowed will also reportedly feature mod support, with mods to be created mostly on PC but will be playable on the Xbox Series X. Fitbit Versa 3Ī post by ResetEra’s sponger, however, claimed that Avowed will be a “fully open world” game that will be “much much larger” than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which features a very expansive map.
