Obsidian's RPG Epic, Avowed, Slated for Release in Fall 2024 – Microsoft Unveils Exciting Details!

Microsoft has officially confirmed the release date for Obsidian Entertainment's ambitious RPG, Avowed. Set to launch in the fall of 2024 on Xbox Series X|S and PC, the game promises an immersive experience with a flexible combat system and a narrative rich in consequences.

In a recent Xbox Developer_Direct 2024 presentation, Obsidian's developers showcased the intricate combat mechanics, allowing players to seamlessly switch between swords, shields, firearms, and magical spells. The emphasis on finding a balance between intensity and manageability in battles adds a layer of depth to the gaming experience.

Avowed's narrative aspect has not been overlooked, with developers investing substantial effort to make even seemingly mundane side missions engaging. Every decision players make will have consequences, shaping the in-game world in unique ways.

The game's world features a diverse range of biomes, where the studio experimented with contrasts to create a memorable environment. From barren, desolate areas to lush, vibrant natural oases, each zone is inhabited by dangerous creatures, adding an element of challenge.

Avowed, set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, is being compared in scale to The Outer Worlds and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2.
