Obsidian Entertainment is responsible for some of the best RPGs to ever grace the market, including Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout: New Vegas, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Pillars of Eternity, and The Outer Worlds, among a plethora of other games like Pentiment and Grounded. Across each of these experiences, Obsidian Entertainment has developed a core identity for its games: they are more digestible than most RPGs, their worlds are engaging and largely filler-free, their NPCs are well-defined and interesting, their companions are always memorable, and their stories are second to none. The pedigree of this studio, married with the worldbuilding and lore of Pillars of Eternity, is why Avowed is easily one of the most anticipated RPGs of 2025.
