7/1/2023 0 Comments Rpg avowed![]() ![]() While details from Obsidian and Microsoft on Avowed have been scarce, the aforementioned post from ResetEra user Sponger back in 2020 made a number of bold claims that we’re going to sum up below. This means the game might be slated to launch anytime between April to June 2024, but being a leak from an unconfirmed "insider", we can't know for certain. Avowed rumoursĪlthough a ResetEra leak in 2020 hinted that the developer was aiming for a late 2022 to early 2023 launch, YouTube user eXtas1s supposedly leaked that Avowed has been given a ballpark release window of sometime in Q4 2024 (via ). The fact that the combat is sword and magic-based suggests it may be a medieval prequel to Pillars of Eternity, which includes more renaissance modes of combat such as flintlock pistols and crossbows. The existence of musket-like firearms has been hinted at, too, but with little more to go on than a two year-old trailer, this remains to be seen or confirmed by the developer. ![]() Interestingly enough, the translated Aedyran runes on the sword seen in the trailer spit out “Oathbinder,” according to a Reddit post. The story of Woedica lines up with the narrative of the trailer, where the protagonist is confronting a destiny of broken oaths, a fallen empire, and potential royalty. Woedica is one of the faiths held by the Aedyr Empire, a nation within the world of Eora that may be where the game takes place. According to this post, the flag seen in the Avowed trailer is related to Woedica, a deity also known as “Oathbinder” who shaped Eora but was killed by the other gods who conspired against her for being too powerful. ![]() Sleuths on Reddit have found some small tidbits that give us a better idea of the premise behind Avowed. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to check the franchise out if you’re excited about Avowed, so you can ground yourself in the lore of this fantasy world. Pillars of Eternity received a sequel in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire in 2018, which further developed the lore of Eora. Pillars of Eternity is another RPG franchise from Obsidian, though it is a more traditional isometric party-based game, billed as a spiritual successor to titles like Baldur’s Gate and the Planescape series. One of the details we do know about Avowed is that it’s set in the fantasy world of Eora, which is the world upon which Pillars of Eternity is set. ![]()
