Avowed Gets Gameplay Deep Dive

During the recent Xbox Developer_Direct presentation, Obsidian Entertainment revealed its first gameplay footage and details for action RPG Avowed. In the seven-minute video, game director Carrie Patel, gameplay director Gabe Paramo, and art director Matt Hansen introduced the game’s world-building themes, its dynamic customistable combat loadouts, and quest choices. In addition, Patel and Paramo later joined the Official Xbox Podcast in a 25-minute section to talk further about the game and its development.

Avowed’s setting is Eora, the same world as the developer’s party-based Pillars of Eternity series. The game sees players tasked with putting a stop to a spiritual plague in the Living Lands. The game is in development for PC and Xbox Series X|S, and is planned to release in fall 2024.
