Avowed Overview
Avowed is an upcoming role-playing game being developed by Obsidian Entertainment and being published by Xbox Game Studio. It will be released on February 18, 2024 for the PC and the Xbox Series X|S, and will also be available on the Xbox Game Pass at launch. The game was announced back in 2020, and has seen one delay where it was pushed from a Fall 2024 launch to 2025. Xbox cites the delay not due to optimizations issues, but due to late 2024 having multiple big titles releasing in season for the publisher.
Avowed has been confirmed to take place within the world of Eora, the same world from Obsidian Entertainment’s "Pillars of Eternity" titles. The game will follow players as the Envoy of Aedyr, tasked by the emperor to seek out a way to fight back against a deadly spreading plague known as the Dream Scourge. They must now venture across the land of Eos, travelling peculiar locations and uncovering secrets. With weapons in hand and spells in the other, they can defeat any enemies they come across in their journey. However, as the only being capable of wielding magical powers, fear rises among the commonfolk of the Envoy’s powers. Amidst the fears, a helpful few will lend their aid and become companions in their quest.
