Avowed

Avowed is Obsidian Entertainment's ambitious evolution into a dynamic first-person role-playing experience, plunging players into the untamed frontier of the Pillars of Eternity universe. As an imperial envoy investigating a supernatural plague known as the Dream Scourge, you will navigate a deeply reactive world where every choice reshapes your journey and the fate of the Living Lands.

At its core, the game delivers tactical, first-person combat built on player freedom, allowing you to fluidly combine melee strikes, ranged shots, and elemental spells in real-time. A classless progression system lets you forge a unique hero by investing in Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard ability trees, while managing the key resources of Stamina and Essence. Your decisions are further amplified by a companion system, where you recruit and strategically deploy allies like the stalwart tank Kai or the supportive healer Giatta, tailoring your party to overcome the world’s challenges.

Set within the rich lore of Eora, the game distinguishes itself with a highly reactive open world teeming with warring factions and ancient secrets. The Living Lands is a character in itself, featuring a living ecosystem with dynamic weather and a day/night cycle that enhances exploration. This focus on narrative consequence ensures that your alliances and actions meaningfully alter quests, story outcomes, and your standing with the region’s powerful groups, making each playthrough distinct.

Fans of Obsidian's signature storytelling and intricate world-building will find a natural home in Avowed, which masterfully translates the studio’s expertise into an immersive first-person perspective. It promises to be a landmark title for RPG enthusiasts craving a world that not only reacts to their presence but is fundamentally shaped by it, offering a personal saga of discovery set against a backdrop of epic fantasy intrigue.
