Microsoft has released an in-engine story trailer for Obsidian’s upcoming first-person RPG, Avowed. Avowed will be released on PC in 2024, and it will be powered by Unreal Engine 5.
Avowed will be a fully open-world game. According to its devs, its map will be “denser” and “more contrasted” at the same time than the one for Skyrim. Moreover, the game will have real-time weather and a very advanced character creation tool.
Additionally, Avowed will have a big focus on world reactivity. Not only that, but it will have advanced lighting, as well as next-gen AI systems and physics.
What’s also great – at least for PC gamers – is that the game will support mods. Now whether or not PC modders will embrace it remains to be seen. There is no doubt that there is a lot of potential here. Or at least we believe so.
Enjoy the video and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

I hope the protag isnt a mute.
I know obsidian for making games I enjoy a lot but I feel weird that they focus so much on the combat for the last few reveals.
Obsidian is barely the Obsidian that made those good games. Being owned by a console company makes their doom inevitable.
I agree that there has definitely been a lot of talent that has come and gone in those doors. Sure they’re not the obsidian who made Kotor 2, they werent the same obsidian when they made new vegas and they werent the same obsidian when they made the outer worlds or pentiment. I enjoyed all of those games except pentiment because of its gameplay elements so I don’t think im going to dislike avowed either. I don’t think being owned by xbox is now the death nail for them at all.
Dark messiah of might and magic : Avowed
….originality? where???
Still looks just as horrible as the day it was announced.
