Avowed Fans Should Keep An Eye on December | Game Rant

Avowed is one of the most hotly anticipated RPGs coming with the next-generation consoles. When the trailer dropped earlier this year, many RPG fans saw the new game’s first-person perspective and fantasy setting and hoped it could be Skyrim’s spiritual successor.

Avowed will be exclusive to PC and the Xbox Series X. While this will disappoint RPG fans who were hoping to get the game on the PS5, it also means there’s one good reason fans of Obsidian Entertainment should keep an eye on December 2020 for more news about the upcoming game.

The Xbox Series X was officially announced at The Game Awards 2019 with a world premiere presentation last December. Though Avowed is not due for release until at least 2022, it is a big draw to the new Xbox, and it is likely that fans could see a presentation or new trailer from Obsidian to hype up the Xbox exclusives. Indeed, the Xbox Series X launches globally on November 10, exactly one month before The Game Awards, and there’s no doubt Microsoft will be keen to stick the landing with some big reveals.

Although Avowed will not be an Xbox launch title, Microsoft will still likely reveal more about the project as part of its ongoing campaign to gain exclusives among the top RPG developers. With the acquisition of Zenimax Media Inc by Microsoft, the company now owns both RPG giants Bethesda and Obsidian Entertainment. While this makes it more likely that extremely anticipated RPG titles like The Elder Scrolls 6 will be Xbox exclusives, at least for a timed period, The Elder Scrolls 6 also isn’t due for release for several more years at least.

The game is rumored to be set for a 2025 release, and Bethesda has already announced that it is only to release after the studio’s new IP Starfield. Microsoft will likely want to remind fans of the long-term reasons to invest in an Xbox for the exclusive RPGs, but will need to keep the Elder Scrolls crowd drawn in with more information about Avowed to tide them over.

So far, Obsidian hasn’t released any gameplay, only a cinematic trailer which revealed the game’s setting in the Pillars of Eternity world of Eora and its first-person perspective. Fans will be hoping to gain more insight into the new game’s timeline and when it’s set relative to the major events which take place in Pillars of Eternity.

Fans could also gain more information about playable races. Pillars of Eternity had multiple playable races from the malformed Godlike to the mischievous Orlans, and their huge physical differences has left many players wondering whether the freedom to choose from the Kith races could be translated into a first-person game.

The Living Lands, the setting of the game, could also get more of a spotlight at this earlier point in development. Though the setting is in the far north of Eora, the region has been described as extremely diverse in terms of its environments, many of which are contained microclimates between the rolling hills and valleys of the Living Lands. Fans may even gain answers to some of the questions raised in the trailer, such as the identity of the statue seen in the teaser or whether or not the protagonist is a Watcher like the hero in the other games.

For now, fans of RPGs and Obsidian will have to wait. However, with Microsoft sure to want to make a leave impression as it kicks off a new console generation at The Game Awards 2020, fans who have been waiting for more news about Avowed could be in luck.

Avowed is in development for PC and Xbox Series X.
