AVOWED NEWS UPDATE
AVOWED NEWS SERIES

Obsidian are experts at creating major RPG games that have a heavy focus on in-game action, so we can expect Avowed to be along the lines of Skyrim. The game will focus on using both traditional melee weapons as well as casting magical spells.

The target release window is late 2022 or early 2023Īvowed will apparently have “role-playing” elements and will utilize a first-person perspective with a focus on real-time combat.

Around 100 people are working on the game currently, and it’s been in development for two years with seven months of pre-production.

Obsidian wants to make it possible to kill anyone in the game, similar to how Morrowind let players terminate the main plot by killing certain key characters.

“Dynamic presentation of dialogue”-whatever that might mean.

Creatures and wildlife will be based on Pillars of Eternity lore but will make new additions.

Two large cities are being planned, with smaller settlements dotting the map and large areas of wilderness.

The game will feature boss battles that happen on a very large scale.

You will be able to enlist the help of companions, but it is supposedly very different to how it works in Obsidian’s other recent RPG, The Outer Worlds.

The world will have lots of factions, but they won’t be similar to Skyrim’s factions.

Character creation is supposed to be very advanced and detailed.

There will be a real-time weather system.

There will be a “big focus” on world reactivity, lighting, and next-gen AI systems.

The main setting will be The Living Lands region of Eora, which is a northern frontier not seen directly in either Pillars of Eternity game.

The world will be “denser” and “more contrasted”-which presumably means diverse.

Avowed will be “fully open-world” and much larger than Skyrim, but not necessarily in total size.

Notable gaming leaker Sponger, a member of gaming forum Resertera, leaked a lot of information regarding the upcoming game:
