Avowed is reportedly being delayed to early 2025

Obsidian Entertainment, the developers behind The Outer Wilds have been working on and planning to release action role-playing game, Avowed soon. It was originally announced that Avowed will be released in Fall 2024, but Microsoft and Obsidian have been quiet regarding an official release date.

It was originally believed that Avowed would release on November 12, 2024, after a blog post temporarily leaked the date, but was quickly edited.

It is now being reported by The Verge’s Tom Warren where he reveals in his recent Notepad that Microsoft is about to delay Avowed slightly, into early 2025. The reasoning isn’t because the game is in a bad state, but it’s because Microsoft wants to “give the game breathing room outside of a very busy period for Xbox Game Pass”.

The good news to come out of this is that Avowed is still in great shape and it’s more of timing the release perfectly so it can get the attention it deserves.

This Holiday Microsoft might have a busy schedule with Black Ops 6 coming out on October 25 and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle planned to release around December. It remains to be seen what else Xbox Game Studios has cooking over the next few months as far as more new games.

In 2025, Fable and South of Midnight are expected to be released in the first half of the year, with more to come from Xbox.
