From there, it seemingly all goes further downhill. You’ll play as an envoy of Aedyr, investigating rumors of a plague. The game is set in the same universe as the crowdfunded Pillars of Eternity, so expect to see more playful writing and storytelling. According to Feargus Urquhart, Studio Head, your first companion will be Kai, a “Coastal Aumaua” and apparently one of the only friendly faces you’ll come across. Like previous Obsidian games, companions will feature heavily. Interestingly, you'll be able to wield swords and guns in addition to magical incantations.

At Xbox’s SGF showcase, we got to see a barrage of magical spells, battle dynamics, and all kinds of mythical beasts you’re likely to face. Obsidian is one of the best developers when it comes to delivering player freedom, so this upcoming game shows no signs of breaking the winning streak.Obsidian Entertainment is finally ready to show us a little more of Avowed, its forthcoming first-person fantasy RPG. It's been two years since Avowed was announced at a previous Xbox Games Show so the chance to finally see the game in action has been incredibly satisfying. Hopefully, this launch window stays consistent, as we're likely to really see this one release in the latter period of 2024. It's an interesting mix, and we're excited to see how it will all come together next year. The first-person magic casting appears to be reminiscent of Tango Gameworks' Ghostwire: Tokyo which makes a change from the more rigid style of staffs and stoic magic from The Elder Scrolls series. Yes, swords and shields are present, but also firearms which make for a game that feels truly different from the Wasteland wading across the Mohave and the capitalist satire of The Outer Worlds. What's most exciting is the focus on guns and other ranged weapons here with Avowed which makes this fantasy title distinct from others set in a similar setting.
