Until now details of the new title have remained fairly scarce, but that is all changing as Windows Central have just released a whole batch of information on the game.
Obsidian have been tight lipped on the project since announcing it in July last year, this is likely because the game is still deep in pre-production but reports suggest an early version of the game might soon be ready. Fans are hoping that the title will be ready to be shown of at E3 in 2022, even if not the completed version.
Avowed is said to the similar to what we have seen from Obsidian in the past, the developers are taking all of the best elements from their other games like The Outer Worlds and turning it into a new game with “action-oriented first-person combat and deep RPG exploration and narrative system.” It will even have a two-handed combat system similar to what we have seen in Skyrim.
“You could wield two daggers and be a stealthy rogue, or dive into archery with a two-handed bow. You could use a combination of swords and magic, or go full two-handed magic, which is required to wield some of the game’s more potent spells and abilities.”
“Avowed went from relative obscurity in my list of most anticipated Xbox games to sitting near the top, especially as a big fan of The Outer Worlds. Obsidian’s excellent character writing and penchant for branching narratives, combined with the rich World of Eternity gives Avowed some seriously huge potential, and I can’t wait to see the game fully revealed.”
Avowed is set to release for Xbox Series X and PC but it’s exclusivity means it will not be making it’s way onto the PlayStation 5.
