Obsidian Entertainment Marks the Launch of Avowed with Enthusiastic Revelations

The Epic Launch of Avowed

The moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived—Avowed, the latest fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, is officially here! Get ready to dive into the stunning Living Lands, an enchanting yet perilous island set in the world of Eora from the beloved Pillars of Eternity series. Whether you’re on XBOX Series X|S, the Xbox app for Windows PC, Battle.net, Steam, or even playing in the cloud, there’s a world of adventure waiting for you. Oh, and did we mention it’s available on Game Pass?

A Land in Turmoil

Welcome to the Living Lands—a frontier teeming with life, but also shrouded in chaos. This rugged island is a magnet for exiles, dreamers, and adventurers all in search of a new beginning. Picture vibrant regions and hidden settlements, each holding secrets just waiting to be uncovered. But don’t be fooled; this place is no paradise. The Dreamscourge, a soul-plague wreaking havoc, is pushing settlers to the brink of madness and turning them against each other.

As an envoy chosen by a mysterious emperor and blessed by an enigmatic god, you’re thrown into the thick of this turmoil. With divine powers at your command, you’ll face ancient threats and unravel deep mysteries. The real question is: will you unite the people of the Living Lands, or will you watch their struggles tear them apart? Your choices will shape the future of this land—and your own destiny.

Forge Your Own Path

In Avowed, the power of choice is truly in your hands. Want to be a stealthy sniper with dual pistols and a longbow? Go for it! Prefer to unleash chaos as a spell-slinging barbarian wielding an axe and a grimoire? You can do that too! With four expansive skill trees—Fighter, Ranger, Wizard, and Godlike—and the ability to mix and match two different weapon loadouts, the possibilities are practically endless.

But you won’t be going at it alone. Your companions each have their own unique skills, personalities, and backstories that add layers to your adventure. Take Kai, the steadfast protector, whose loyalty makes him a rock in battle. Or Giatta, the brilliant animancer scientist, whose curiosity drives her to uncover the secrets of the Dreamscourge, even at great personal risk. And let’s not forget Marius, the lone-wolf hunter, or Yatzli, the fiery Godless expert with a rebellious streak.

How will you guide these characters? Will you earn their trust, challenge their beliefs, or perhaps forge something deeper? The relationships you build will shape your adventure in ways you might not expect.

Your Living Lands, Your Way

Avowed isn’t just about following a linear path; it’s about immersing yourself in a vibrant world that rewards exploration. Picture yourself navigating rugged cliffs, wading through winding rivers, and uncovering hidden treasures—from ancient elemental weapons to fragments of God Shrine Totems that unlock powerful abilities.

Combat is where things get really exciting. You can seamlessly blend magic, melee, and ranged attacks to create a playstyle that’s uniquely yours. Unleash shockwaves with Grimoire Snap, trade health for devastating power with Blood Magic, or upgrade and enchant your weapons to suit your strategy. Each encounter is an opportunity to experiment and push your party’s limits.

At the heart of Avowed is a commitment to player choice. Inspired by the freedom of tabletop RPGs, this game allows your decisions to ripple through the Living Lands. Whether you choose to negotiate peace, spark conflict, or carve your own path, your actions will leave a lasting mark on the world of Eora.
