Obsidian Entertainment's Avowed is its upcoming FPS RPG title set to release later this year, and has been in the works since its reveal in 2020. Prior to that, 2019's The Outer Worlds was a bit of a surprise for the studio, and in many ways, a pleasant one. Fans felt it was a return to form for the developer, channeling its work on classic beloved titles like Fallout: New Vegas as well as its reputation for making quality first-person RPG experiences, after producing a handful of well-received, but more niche CRPG titles, like Tyranny and the two Pillars of Eternity games (which Avowed is broadly based in) between them.
