The director of the highly anticipated Obsidian Entertainment game gives us more information about the title.”
A title that gave a lot of talk this Sunday during the Xbox Games Showcase was Avowed. Obsidian Entertainment’s first performance suggested that he had ambitions to become a AAA title. From what was presented during the Sunday show, seems to be more of an AAwhich explains why some players were disappointed with the idea they had.
Carrie Patel, game director of the title, was present at the Xbox Games Showcase Extended to offer more information about the game.
From the beginning, Carrie stressed the similarities with Pillars of Eternity, another of the studio’s productions, and that we already knew that both licenses shared the same universe. However, the parallels are even more numerous. Characters and factions from the Pillars of Eternity will be present in Avowed, including the Aedyrian Empire. However, it is not necessary to have played the previous games to start the adventure.
The story takes place in the Living Lands, a remote part of Eora. The video presented on Sunday also shows a character speaking to us. Carrie confirms that, indeed, it is a companion, in the purest style of the studio.
Unlike its predecessor, we will not embody a Watcher of the Gods. It is true that we will have a unique type of soul bond with the world, but our role is not simply divine. Not to mention the plague that spreads through these lands and contaminates the flora and fauna. Without going into too much detail, Carrie provides some facts about this disease.
Isometric view RPGs are known for having highly specialized characters in their field. Carrie Patel explains that I wanted to take this approach and adapt it to the gameplay that first person view dictates.
Finally, the length is closer to games like The Outer Worlds than it is to Skyrim. Carrie explains that the title is not an open world, but that it is more “a series of interconnected open areas that players can explore at their own pace.”
Avowed is scheduled to launch on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass in 2024.
