When asked on an IGN podcast if Avowed will play an Elder Scrolls role for Xbox, given the The Elder Scrolls 6 is quite a while off yet, Spencer responded: Expect a very controller-friendly RPG.īased on its trailer, Avowed has drawn some comparisons with the Elder Scrolls series in terms of its appearance but Phil Spencer has said there are “distinct differences” between the games. Avowed being announced on an Xbox stream, for a launch across PC, Xbox, and Game Pass, confirms how different this is going to be.
What's also new here is that the POE games were very much PC-first experiences, even if both 2015's Pillars of Eternity and 2018's sequel Deadfire came to current-gen consoles a couple of years after their initial launch dates. Pillars of Eternity largely focused on the nation of Dyrwood, though, which is slightly different to what's on show this time around. We expect fans of the POE games will be sure to recognize elements of the world. So, the game will feel quite different from its predecessors. Set in Eora, the world of the Pillars of Eternity games, both games are developed by Obsidian but Avowed will take a first-person perspective, rather than POE's isometric perspective. It looks like it may scratch that Elder Scrolls itch, until Elder Scrolls 6 finally shows itself.Avowed is a fantasy RPG. With the tagline of “Forge your destiny”, the trailer hints that you can choose to be a good or (very) bad guy. From there, it seemingly all goes further downhill. You’ll play as an envoy of Aedyr, investigating rumors of a plague. The game is set in the same universe as the crowdfunded Pillars of Eternity, so expect to see more playful writing and storytelling. According to Feargus Urquhart, Studio Head, your first companion will be Kai, a “Coastal Aumaua” and apparently one of the only friendly faces you’ll come across. Like previous Obsidian games, companions will feature heavily. Interestingly, you'll be able to wield swords and guns in addition to magical incantations. At Xbox’s SGF showcase, we got to see a barrage of magical spells, battle dynamics, and all kinds of mythical beasts you’re likely to face. Obsidian Entertainment is finally ready to show us a little more of Avowed, its forthcoming first-person fantasy RPG.
