During the 2020 Xbox Games Showcase featuring a roadmap of Xbox Series X games, Obsidian Entertainment revealed its next project: an epic fantasy RPG called Avowed. This isn’t technically a new IP, as it’s set in the same world of Pillars of Eternity. With that said, it’s the first time this world has been explored in such a fashion.
While there’s a lot left to be explained, we can definitely garner some interesting details based on what Obsidian has said so far — as well as carefully examining the reveal trailer. Here’s everything we know about Avowed so far.
What is Avowed?

Obsidian has a long history crafting RPG titles, with Knights of the Old Republic 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity and The Outer Worlds being just a handful of the studio’s past titles.
Avowed trailers
Avowed’s first trailer was shown during the 2020 Xbox Games Showcase. You can check out the announcement trailer for Avowed below.

We do see a very brief glimpse of a character dual-wielding a sword and magic at the end of the announcement trailer. The sword is glowing with runes that possibly translate into “Oathbinder.” Meanwhile, the banners on the fortress in the gameplay trailer are emblazoned with the crown that symbolizes Woedica, the goddess of justice and law.

Extrapolating from that, it’s very likely that Avowed will be available in 2022 at the earliest. We’ll be sure to update this when we have more information. Whenever it arrives, it’ll be available on Xbox Series X and PC. Like all Xbox Game Studios titles, it’ll also launch day one into Xbox Game Pass.
