“I think the games are very different, so maybe I struggle a little bit to say that’s our version of this, just knowing what and the team are going off to do. When asked on an IGN podcast (opens in new tab) if Avowed will play an Elder Scrolls role for Xbox, given the Elder Scrolls 6 is quite a while off yet, Spencer responded: Expect a very controller-friendly RPG.īased on its trailer, Avowed has drawn some comparisons with the Elder Scrolls series in terms of its appearance but Phil Spencer has said there are “distinct differences” between the games. Avowed being announced on an Xbox stream, for a launch across PC, Xbox, and Game Pass, confirms how different this is going to be. What's also new here is that the POE games were very much PC-first experiences, even if both 2015's Pillars of Eternity and 2018's sequel Deadfire came to current-gen consoles a couple of years after their initial launch dates. Pillars of Eternity largely focused on the nation of Dyrwood, though, so we could see Avowed explore a different nation, continent, or part of the world we haven't seen before. We expect fans of the POE games will be sure to recognize elements of the world. So, the game will feel quite different from its predecessors. Set in Eora, the world of the Pillars of Eternity games, both games are developed by Obsidian but Avowed will take a first-person perspective, rather than POE's isometric perspective. Avowed gameplay and settingĪvowed is a fantasy RPG. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft hasn't commented on this report but we'll keep this updated as we hear more. For example, previous reports suggested that Everwild has been rebooted, now targeting a 2024 release date. Given that Forza Motorsport, Redfall, and Starfield are all scheduled for 2023, there's every chance a lot of these games have been internally delayed. Alongside Avowed, this reportedly included Fable 4, Hellblade 2, Perfect Dark, Contraband, Everwild, and three untitled games. Here, he stated that Microsoft an internal 2021-2022 schedule included nine games in Xbox's 2023 plans. However, appearing as a guest on the Xbox Expansion Pass podcast, VentureBeat reporter Jeff Grubb tells us Avowed was originally looking at a 2023 release. Even though The Outer Worlds landed on both PlayStation and Xbox platforms, this was in development well before Obsidian's acquisition by Microsoft was finalized. Now that Microsoft has acquired Obsidian, we shouldn't expect to see the game come to PS5. As is standard for first-party games, it'll also be coming to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on day one. Given Microsoft's previous release pattern, that means it's coming to PC, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. We do know however that Avowed will be an Xbox console exclusive.
