What we know about Avowed, the incoming medieval fantasy RPG from developer Obsidian on Xbox Series X and PC.
Avowed is shaping up to be one of the best reasons to stick with the Xbox platform when the Xbox Series X and PS5 release later this year.
It’s a new first-person medieval fantasy RPG, developed by Obsidian – previously known for their work on The Outer Worlds, Fallout: New Vegas, and the incoming Grounded. While it was announced alongside a host of other Xbox Series X games in Microsoft’s July showcase, including our long-desired Fable reboot, Avowed might be the most exciting thing to come out of the event.
While it seems like the first time Obsidian is plunging into a magical medieval time, the developer’s close ties to Bethesda in the past mean that comparisons to The Elder Scrolls franchise are inevitable – especially since The Outer Worlds cleaved so closely to the template laid out in the Fallout games.
There’s plenty to pique our interest beyond a Skyrim-clone, though, including the game taking place in Eora, the world of the Pillars of Eternity games. Not to mention the high-powered visuals possible on the next-gen Xbox Series X console.
Here’s everything we know so far about Avowed, including its first trailer, what platforms it’s coming to, and when we expect it to release.
The first Avowed trailer sets the scene clearly, with medieval battlements, flaming arrows, and plenty of war-torn landscape beset with skeleton warriors.
