Avowed Is The Next RPG From Obsidian Entertainment
Microsoft acquired Obsidian Entertainment in 2018, and the studio has been pumping out games since. Along with The Outer Worlds and Grounded, Obsidian is also working on a new first-person RPG called Avowed.
While only shown briefly at today's Xbox Games Showcase, Avowed looks stunning, and invites players into the world of Eora, which just happens to be filled with magic, warring factions, and skeletal warriors. Most of the trailer above is cinematic, but we do get a look at what the game will look like through the eyes of a character who is wielding a sword in his right hand and some kind of magic in his left.
If you are thinking Avowed looks like The Elder Scrolls, you are not alone. No release date was given at this time, but it is coming to Xbox Series X.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
