Avowed Releasing on PS5 in February

Obisidian Entertainment announced that its first-person action RPG Avowed is coming to PlayStation 5. The game, which released for PC and Xbox Series X|S last year, will release on the console on February 17, 2026. It is available to pre-order now in a $49.99 standard edition and a $59.99 Premium Edition that includes a digital art book, digital soundtrack, and a selection of in-game player armours and companion skins. Obsidian Entertainment is also currently working on an anniversary update for the game, which will include a New Game Plus mode, photo mode, a new weapon type, and more.

Avowed is set in the same world as Obsidian Entertainment’s Pillars of Eternity series. Players control an envoy sent by the Aedyran emperor into a region called the Living Lands. They arrive at the port city of Paradis, which has been shaped by multiple generations of pioneers and is now the centre of tension between the empire and the locals. This tension is exacerbated by a mysterious plague called the Dreamscourge, which is affecting the people, animals, and even the land, eventually turning those afflicted into fungal-sprouting Dreamthralls.
