It will be releasing on September 9 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. That game had its first DLC expansion revealed during the showcase as well, called Peril on Gorgon. Last year they released the space-RPG, The Outer Worlds, to critical acclaim. The trailer unfortunately didn’t give any concrete details as to what the story will be about.Īvowed will be the third game from Obsidian Entertainment since they were purchased by Microsoft a few years ago. From there, the trailer went into a first-person perspective as the character pulled out a sword with glowing runes and drew a magic symbol with their hand to prepare a spell while an unseen creature approached.Īvowed being a first-person game is noteworthy, as the Pillars of Eternity games are typically played from an isometric perspective. A short trailer was shown during the event, in which the camera followed a flaming arrow as it was fired through a skeleton soldier and into a deep cavern. The game will be an RPG and is set in the world of their other series, Pillars of Eternity. Sony had an amazing array of exclusives last year, including Marvel's Spider-Man and the recent Ghost of Tsushima, so it seems Microsoft is stepping up its game with its continued acquisition of renowned developers.Obsidian Entertainment announced their new title, Avowed, during today’s Xbox Games Showcase.
Nevertheless, Avowed will be Obsidian Entertainment's first Microsoft exclusive title. Given that the title was just announced and it's unclear how far into development the game is, its possible Avowed may release sometime closer to 2022. In turn, it's highly unlikely that Avowed will be released onto any PlayStation system.Īt this time, there is no release date for Avowed. Seeing as Avowed has been getting produced entirely under the ownership of Microsoft, the aforementioned loophole does not exist. This created a type of loophole which allowed for the title to release on platforms that extended beyond Xbox and PC. The reason this was possible was that Obsidian and their publisher, Private Division, had begun work on the game prior to Microsoft purchasing the company. However, The Outer Worlds was available on PS4. Obsidian Entertainment's other two titles, Grounded and The Outer Worlds, were also both produced during the Microsoft acquisition. While this is unclear, Microsoft is pushing for integration and backwards compatibility, even with some of its newest titles, so Xbox One fans may get the chance to play Avowed for themselves. However, there is a possibility that the game may launch on Xbox One. Since Avowed has been advertised as an Xbox exclusive and Obsidian was acquired by Microsoft back in 2018, the fantasy RPG will likely not be getting a port onto any of Sony's consoles. Unfortunately, it seems that PlayStation fans will likely have to miss out on Avowed. While the game was only announced recently, its very improbable that the title will be able to be played on anything that's not Xbox or PC.
While not too much is currently known about Avowed, the trailer definitely has players curious about what the upcoming title will offer.
Unlike Pillars of Eternity, Avowed will be stepping away from the isometric RPG genre and replacing it with first person gameplay with a strong resemblance to Skyrim's systems. Avowed is set in the world of Eora, a setting first introduced in Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity which released back in 2015.
