Avowed is Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming action-RPG. The studio is widely known for its library of well-regarded RPGs, particularly its work on the Fallout series with 2010's New Vegas, often cited as an outstanding entry in both the series and genre overall. Obsidian then pivoted and announced a new epic fantasy IP, Pillars of Eternity, a CRPG that was, at the time, the most highly backed Kickstarter game, and released in 2015. A direct sequel, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire, followed in 2018. Avowed will be set in the PoE world, rooted in its lore and history, which will naturally inform much of what players might expect to experience in it in that regard.
