However, over time, Eora has lost its way and the sins of the people have spawned terrifying monsters which hide in the shadows. We learn from the narrator that Eora is a land forged from a war that turned "heroes into queens and kings and decimated our foes". As the viewer follows a burning arrow that is shot from the high walls of a castle, they are transported across the land of Eora.
The clip lasts just over a minute and paints a shadowy picture of a fantastical world of legends, magic, and monsters. There is only one official Avowed trailer at the time of writing. Since then, Obsidian has released The Outer Worlds and Grounded. The company gained a loyal fanbase thanks to its release of games like Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Fallout New Vegas, and South Park: The Stick of Truth. Things were a bit touch and go for Obsidian due to financial troubles, however, the situation quickly turned around for the game developer when it was acquisitioned by Microsoft in 2018. Obsidian has certainly come a long way from the days of being a small indie game developer. Crucially for Avowed, the Xbox exclusive will be aiming to kick on with their development before their main rival, the Elder Scrolls, decide to roll out the carpet on their sixth title - their first since Bethesda was acquired by Microsoft.
Avowed e3 2021 update#
The most likely update that we'll get on Avowed will be through Obsidian's other upcoming RPG, as The Outer Worlds 2 release date is expected to land first. All we can do is keep our ears to the ground and look out for any new information we have about Avowed and the other projects that are currently underway by the game's developer, Obsidian, that could give us an estimated release date. Whenever we see it next though, it’s sure to get a lot of fans excited.Sadly, there is still no official Avowed release date. The report finally mentions that Avowed is very close to a fully playable Alpha, and even suggests we might get to see some more of the game as early as E3 2022 (or even the end of this year at The Game Awards, though that is a long stretch). The one thing that is uncertain though is whether Avowed will feature a massive open world or smaller hub-areas like The Outer Worlds.
So far it sounds very much like a first-person Pillars of Eternity game. There will also be multiple class playstyles, like Warriors who focus more on physical combat, or Wizards who focus on spellcasting. However, it seems like there will be a limited inventory, so don’t expect to have a plethora of weapons and spells available at any one time. Yes, there’s dual-wielding and two-handed weapons and spells, much like Skyrim’s combat system. It also apparently has the same colorful art style as The Outer Worlds, despite the grim style of the teaser trailer.īut of course, being a Fantasy RPG it's hard to escape the clutches of The Elder Scrolls. We know it is set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, but apart from that we barely know anything… until now that is.Īccording to the report, Avowed is essentially just a Fantasy version of The Outer Worlds - another popular RPG from Obsidian - as it includes a lot of the technical foundations of that game, along with some new features like destructible environments and swimming. There’s nothing major in the report to indicate that Avowed will be the best RPG ever made, but it at least gives us some information on what exactly the hell is this game. However, a new report has shed light on some interesting details. Obsidian recently announced a brand new, first person Fantasy RPG game that is still very early in development, and so far we’ve heard pretty much nothing about it. Nobody ever said that RPGs weren’t popular, but it seems like now is the best time ever to be an RPG fan.
