This means the game might be slated to launch anytime between April to June 2024, but being a leak from an unconfirmed "insider", we can't know for certain. Avowed rumoursĪlthough a ResetEra leak in 2020 hinted that the developer was aiming for a late 2022 to early 2023 launch, YouTube user eXtas1s (opens in new tab) supposedly leaked that Avowed has been given a ballpark release window of sometime in Q4 2024 (via (opens in new tab)). The fact that the combat is sword and magic-based suggests it may be a medieval prequel to Pillars of Eternity, which includes more renaissance modes of combat such as flintlock pistols and crossbows. Interestingly enough, the translated Aedyran runes on the sword seen in the trailer spit out “Oathbinder,” according to a Reddit post (opens in new tab).
The story of Woedica lines up with the narrative of the trailer, where the protagonist is confronting a destiny of broken oaths, a fallen empire, and potential royalty. Woedica is one of the faiths held by the Aedyr Empire, a nation within the world of Eora that may be where the game takes place. According to this post (opens in new tab), the flag seen in the Avowed trailer is related to Woedica, a deity also known as “Oathbinder” who shaped Eora but was killed by the other gods who conspired against her for being too powerful. Sleuths on Reddit have found some small tidbits that give us a better idea of the premise behind Avowed. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to check the franchise out if you’re excited about Avowed, so you can ground yourself in the lore of this fantasy world. Pillars of Eternity received a sequel in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire in 2018, which further developed the lore of Eora. Pillars of Eternity is another RPG franchise from Obsidian, though it is a more traditional isometric party-based game, billed as a spiritual successor to titles like Baldur’s Gate and the Planescape series. Together, the two games are shaping up to be quite the pairing in Microsoft's exclusive arsenal.One of the details we do know about Avowed is that it’s set in the fantasy world of Eora, which is the world upon which Pillars of Eternity is set. Obsidian is also working on The Outer Worlds 2, as announced at this year's E3.

However, the report speculates we may see an update for the game as early as The Game Awards this year, if not next year's E3 event.

The footage seen by Windows Central was from a pre-alpha build of the game, so there is plenty of room for change. The environments will also be destructible, using fire to burn down blocked entryways, for instance. Unlike Skyrim, Avowed will reportedly have a more colourful visual palette, with luminescent caves, verdant forests and neon effects.
Fans may even recognise enemies, from the lizard-like Xaurips to deadly drakes. Weapon enchantments are a major facet of combat, such as enchanted swords. Spells like the lightning based Jolting Touch and two-handed Fireball are present, conjured using complex hand gestures, and status effects like Fetid Caress also feature. Those magic attacks take a leaf out of Pillars of Eternity's book. Warriors will have access to physical attacks, while casters can customise their combat style using spellbook options and magic bound to specific buttons. The report states that combat seems "more loadout-based" than Skyrim. That means dual-wielding weapons and spells for potent attacks, or equipping a mixture of the two. The report suggests that, if The Outer Worlds was the studio's take on Fallout, then Avowed is their take on The Elder Scrolls in both its fantasy setting and combat.Īvowed will feature two handed combat and multiple classes, seemingly borrowed from Skyrim.
