Avowed has been out for a few weeks now, and Obsidian Entertainment's latest FPS action-RPG based in the setting of its Pillars of Eternity fantasy franchise has seen an overall warm reception so far. Returning to the style and genre that the developer is well-known for, Avowed actually marks the first of two games from Obsidian scheduled to release this year. The Outer Worlds 2, the sequel to the studio's 2019 dystopian sci-fi RPG, is also set to launch later in 2025. In the works since 2021, The Outer Worlds 2will see players explore a solar system in the distant future overrun by corporate chicanery and exaggerated excess.
