The anticipated game was first unveiled in 2020, but news has been scarce about this mysterious role-playing project. Throughout your adventure, you can expect to use magic, melee, and firearms to tackle brilliant beasts across the open zones, and even befriend NPC’s in typical Obsidian style.Avowed is an upcoming fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, the developers behind The Outer Worlds and Fallout: New Vegas. Players will be taking over an envoy from the Aedyr Empire and will then be sent to investigate a strange plague affecting the remote region of Living Lands. Now, we just need to wait to hear more official news on the game, and see what spell-slinging across the world of Eora is really like.įor those only just hearing about Obsidian’s Avowed (where have you been?), the game is set in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity.
