Avowed is the first AAA release from famed developer Obsidian Entertainment, following its acquisition by Microsoft in 2018. This game is set in the world of Pillars of Eternity, the franchise kickstarted by the acclaimed 2015 CRPG of the same name. However, unlike PoE, Avowed employs a primarily first-person perspective in gameplay instead of an isometric one, making it more reminiscent of titles like The Outer Worlds and Fallout: New Vegas. The upcoming game was initially slated to launch sometime in 2024, but following a recent delay, it will now release on Xbox Series X/S and Windows PC on February 18, 2025. As such, the title will be one of Microsoft's biggest exclusives in the coming months.
