Avowed Receives Fall 2024 Release Window With New Trailer

Alongside the likes of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, being a long-awaited, promised release, Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed is another example of this. Revealed predating back to summer 2020, many players were interested to hear that the developer for Fallout: New Vegas is conjuring up its own take on fantasy RPGs with its Pillars of Eternity franchise. But, it would be discovered its release was years away.

Since then, it would not be until 2023 where Obsidian Entertainment would properly showcase the new title. And even more, it is aimed to launch later in 2024. Additionally, players were left underwhelmed by the visuals for the game which did disappoint viewers. It was addressed that would be resolved closer to release. And, a separate report also noted considering multiplayer, but, Obsidian Entertainment ultimately decided against it.

At the Xbox Developer_Direct, Obsidian Entertainment shared a new trailer with a fall 2024 release window. You can watch the gameplay trailer in the video below:

“Avowed Game Director Carrie Patel gave us a first deep-dive into the gameplay in Obsidian’s upcoming fantasy action RPG, from its dynamic combat, to its thoughtful reactivity, to its ‘colorful, vibrant, strange’ world set in the Living Lands. Avowed continues Obsidian’s signature style of creating games with deep themes and player choice at the forefront,” the Xbox Wire overview reads.

“Not only will you make narrative decisions that can impact changes in the game down the line, but Avowed is also looking to offer choice in combat. Gameplay Director Gabe Paramo discussed not only how varied your weaponry will be – with melee weapons, ranged guns and bows, and magic-based wands (even dual-wielded wands!) to name a few – but how flexible combat can be, allowing you to quickly change loadouts for enemy encounters.

“Swappable loadouts mean you can approach combat however feels right to you. Art Director Matt Hansen then explained how the Living Lands is a mysterious island made up of wildly varied regions offering visually diverse backdrops and intriguing settings to explore. With secrets hidden throughout the regions, you’ll take in barren deserts, verdant forests, blighted wastes, volcanic biomes, and more.”
