Obsidian Entertainment's Avowed is set to bring fans into its high fantasy world later this year. While some have noted its surface similarities to games like Skyrim, Avowed is based on the studio's CRPG Pillars of Eternity and its sequel, Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire in terms of its setting, history, and lore. The Pillars games were slightly more outside Obsidian's usual territory, at least compared to previous efforts like Fallout: New Vegas and its sci-fi outing, The Outer Worlds. Avowed, though, promises to combine the Pillars setting with more familiar FPS open-world design and stylings to create a new experience within it.
