Avowed is a 2025 first-person RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios, released on February 18 for Windows and Xbox Series X/S. Set in the Living Lands of the Eora universe, shared with Pillars of Eternity, players control the Envoy, a customizable character sent by the Aedyr Empire to investigate a mysterious plague. The game features interconnected open zones with diverse biomes, offering exploration, quests, and companion interactions. Combat blends melee, magic, and ranged attacks, with mix-and-match abilities, respec options, and a skill tree. Players can choose dialogue-driven paths and approach missions via combat, stealth, or hidden routes. The single-player campaign, optionally playable in third-person, lasts 20-30 hours. Post-launch updates include spring 2025 enhancements like Arachnophobia Safe Mode and fog of war improvements, and a summer 2025 patch with cooking, crafting, and new NPC behaviors.  The post Avowed first appeared on Worth it or Woke.
