Avowed: The New Project by Obsidian Entertainment
Attention, fans of role-playing games! Avowed, the latest project by Obsidian Entertainment, promises an impressive gaming experience. Originally started as a Skyrim-like project, Avowed has evolved over time. The focus is now on depth rather than breadth. In an exclusive interview with PC Gamer, Obsidian's CEO Feargus Urquhart explained the reasons for this decision and gave insight into the studio's plans.
Focus on Compelling Stories Instead of Open World
Instead of a huge open world like in Bethesda games, players in Avowed will experience deep stories with their companions and travel from one part of the world to another. The relationship and development of companions within the main story are the main focus. Avowed director Carrie Patel emphasizes Obsidian's strengths as an RPG developer: atmospheric world-building, deep stories, and thoughtful quest design.
Obsidian's success story: From Pillars of Eternity to Avowed
Obsidian Entertainment is no stranger to the gaming world. With games like Pillars of Eternity, Fallout: New Vegas, and the successful The Outer Worlds, the studio has already proven that it can develop great role-playing games. Especially Pillars of Eternity is considered a milestone of modern role-playing genre and has thrilled many fans. With Avowed, Obsidian now wants to take a step further and focus even more on profound character development and gripping stories.
What can we expect from Avowed?
Although not all details about Avowed are known yet, there are already some exciting information about the game. An important aspect will be the interaction with the companions. They are supposed to play an important role in the main story and develop further during the game. The player will have a lot of influence on the relationships between the characters.
The combat system in Avowed is also expected to be convincing. Obsidian promises a mixture of real-time combat and turn-based elements, similar to Pillars of Eternity. The abilities of the companions are supposed to play a major role in order to offer tactical depth and variety in combat.
Graphics and atmosphere
Another aspect that fans of Avowed can look forward to is the graphics. Obsidian is using the Unreal Engine 4 to create an impressive and atmospheric game world. The world of Avowed is supposed to be much more detailed than in previous games of the studio. This promises an immersive gaming experience that will captivate players.
Conclusion: Avowed promises to be an exceptional role-playing game
Avowed has the potential to become a real role-playing highlight. With a focus on profound stories and an exciting combat system, the game could be just right for all fans of Pillars of Eternity and other role-playing classics. We are looking forward to further information about the game and are excited to keep you up to date on all developments around Avowed here at Keyfuchs.
