Obsidian Entertainment, the renowned game developer, recently unveiled their highly anticipated open-world RPG, Avowed. Set in the same world as the acclaimed Pillars of Eternity series, Avowed promises players an exciting and immersive gaming experience. Departing from their traditional top-down RPG style, Obsidian draws inspiration from Skyrim, introducing first-person combat, exploration, magic, and impactful decision-making.
During the Xbox Developer Direct event, Obsidian showcased various gameplay elements in a new trailer. Players will have the freedom to seamlessly switch between melee and ranged combat, utilizing spells, guns, and swords according to their preferred playstyle. Engaging in battles becomes even more thrilling with the addition of parries and special attacks to keep enemies on guard.
An noteworthy feature of Avowed is its exclusive availability on Xbox Series X/S and PC, as Microsoft acquired Obsidian Entertainment in 2018. This partnership allows Obsidian to release the game through Xbox’s subscription service, Game Pass, further demonstrating the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality content to its players.
Avowed is powered by Unreal Engine 4, similar to Obsidian’s previous first-person RPG, The Outer Worlds. What sets Avowed apart from other games in the studio’s portfolio is its immersive world of Eora, offering players a multitude of decision-based narratives that shape their gaming experience.
Obsidian Entertainment has a strong track record of creating exceptional RPGs. Following the successful launch of the first-person survival game Grounded and the critically acclaimed RPG The Outer Worlds, anticipation for Avowed is surging. Fans of the genre can expect a rich and immersive world like never before.
With the release of Avowed on the horizon, players can trust that Obsidian Entertainment will deliver a fantastic RPG experience that will captivate and immerse them in the world of Eora. Prepare yourself for an adventure filled with magic, combat, and unforgettable choices.
