The world of role-playing games (RPGs) has always captivated players with its immersive worlds, intricate lore, and complex characters. From the early days of text-based adventures to the modern-day RPGs boasting next-gen graphics, the genre has undergone remarkable evolution. One game that has sparked considerable excitement in the gaming community is Avowed, an upcoming RPG from the renowned developer Obsidian Entertainment. Set in the same universe as their acclaimed Pillars of Eternity series, Avowed promises to be a game that brings expansive storytelling, deep world-building, and intricate role-playing mechanics to the forefront. In this article, we will delve deep into what makes Avowed a title to watch and explore the features, gameplay mechanics, and potential impact it could have on the RPG genre.
The Studio Behind Avowed: Obsidian Entertainment
Before diving into the details of Avowed, it’s crucial to understand the pedigree of the studio behind it. Obsidian Entertainment is no stranger to the RPG scene, having created some of the most beloved and critically acclaimed titles in the genre. Their work on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, Fallout: New Vegas, and Pillars of Eternity has cemented their reputation as masters of RPG design. Obsidian’s games are known for their deep narratives, complex characters, and player-driven choices. With Avowed, the studio aims to take this reputation to the next level.
Obsidian’s focus on crafting detailed worlds and offering players meaningful choices has always been at the heart of their design philosophy. Avowed will not be an exception, and the studio has promised a game that allows players to fully immerse themselves in a rich, expansive world, where decisions matter and where the lore is deep enough to keep players invested for hours, if not days.
Setting the Stage: The World of Eora
Avowed is set in the same universe as the Pillars of Eternity series, a critically acclaimed RPG franchise that received praise for its world-building, storytelling, and tactical combat. The game is set in the world of Eora, a fantasy realm filled with unique factions, diverse cultures, and intricate histories. In the Pillars of Eternity games, players were introduced to a detailed world with political intrigue, religious conflict, and ancient gods.
In Avowed, players will return to this same universe, but with a fresh perspective. The game will take place in the Aedyr Empire, which was introduced in the earlier titles but has remained relatively unexplored in terms of its lore. This empire is a vast and powerful nation, with a complex political structure and a variety of factions vying for control. The game’s setting promises to offer players a chance to explore these intricate dynamics, and it will be exciting to see how Obsidian expands on the already rich world of Eora.
The Story: A New Adventure with Old Roots
While not much is known about the specific plot of Avowed, there are a few key details that have been teased by the developers. The game is set to be a first-person RPG, which is a departure from the isometric perspective used in Pillars of Eternity. This shift will allow players to experience the world in a more immersive way, making it feel more akin to modern RPGs like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
The story of Avowed will revolve around a new protagonist who finds themselves embroiled in the political and magical turmoil of the Aedyr Empire. This protagonist will have the ability to wield both magic and swordplay, a combination that will offer a variety of playstyles and combat options. The game promises a deeply personal journey where players can shape their character’s fate through choices and interactions with other characters in the world.
The developers have mentioned that the story will focus heavily on themes of power, betrayal, and ambition. Players will likely encounter a range of morally complex characters, and their decisions will have a significant impact on the world around them. Given Obsidian’s reputation for crafting choice-driven narratives, players can expect a game where every decision, big or small, carries weight.
Gameplay: Immersive Exploration and Deep Combat Mechanics
One of the most exciting aspects of Avowed is its gameplay. While we don’t yet know every detail, there are several features and mechanics that have been teased that make it clear this game will offer a deep and immersive experience.
First-Person Combat:
Avowed will feature first-person combat, which is a departure from Obsidian’s traditional isometric view. This will allow players to feel more connected to the action, as they engage in combat from a direct perspective. The game will feature a mix of magic and melee combat, allowing players to wield powerful spells and devastating weapons simultaneously. This combination of styles is likely to appeal to players who enjoy versatility in their playstyle and who want to experiment with different tactics.
Character Customization:
As with most RPGs, character customization will play a significant role in Avowed. Players will be able to create and customize their protagonist, choosing from a range of options, including race, class, and background. The game will offer a variety of different playstyles, from heavily armored warriors to spellcasting sorcerers. It’s also likely that players will be able to choose their character’s personality, making choices that will affect their interactions with NPCs and the world at large.
The inclusion of character backgrounds is particularly exciting, as it will allow players to shape their protagonist’s history and motivations. This feature is a hallmark of Obsidian’s design philosophy, as it adds an additional layer of depth and personalization to the character.
Exploration:
Exploration will be a key aspect of Avowed. The game will feature a vast open world, with different regions to explore, each with its own unique geography, culture, and inhabitants. The Aedyr Empire itself is expected to be a vast and diverse land, filled with bustling cities, dangerous wilderness, and ancient ruins waiting to be discovered.
Obsidian has promised that the world will be rich in detail, with a focus on lore and atmosphere. Players can expect to uncover secrets, solve puzzles, and engage with NPCs in a way that feels both natural and rewarding.
Choices Matter:
One of the core tenets of Obsidian’s game design is that player choice matters. In Avowed, players will be able to make decisions that will shape the world around them. These choices will affect not only the story but also the relationships between characters and the factions within the game. Whether it’s deciding the fate of a key character or choosing which faction to support, every decision will have consequences.
Graphics and Visuals: A New Look for the World of Eora
Avowed will take full advantage of modern gaming technology, boasting impressive visuals that will bring the world of Eora to life like never before. The game will feature detailed environments, realistic lighting, and stunning character models. The shift to a first-person perspective also means that the world will be more immersive, allowing players to fully appreciate the beauty of the environments.
The visuals will be paired with dynamic weather systems and a day-night cycle, which will add an extra layer of realism to the world. The attention to detail in both the environments and the characters is expected to be top-notch, making Avowed a visually stunning experience.
What to Expect from Avowed: A Bold Step Forward for Obsidian
Avowed is shaping up to be a game that could redefine the RPG genre. With its immersive world, deep combat mechanics, and emphasis on player choice, it has the potential to rival some of the best RPGs in recent years. Obsidian Entertainment’s dedication to crafting meaningful narratives and engaging gameplay experiences is clear, and Avowed is poised to be a standout title when it releases.
Whether you’re a fan of Obsidian’s previous work or new to the studio’s games, Avowed is a title that RPG fans should keep an eye on. With the promise of a vast world to explore, a compelling story to experience, and meaningful choices to make, it’s shaping up to be a must-play game in the RPG landscape.

With its rich world-building, deep combat systems, and player-driven narrative, Avowed has the potential to be a groundbreaking title in the RPG genre.
As more information is revealed, it’s clear that Avowed will be a game worth keeping on your radar. Whether you’re a veteran RPG player or a newcomer to the genre, this game is shaping up to be one of the most exciting titles in the coming years.
