Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment's highly anticipated fantasy RPG, promises a deeply immersive experience launching in 2025. Game director Carrie Patel reveals a complex gameplay system where every decision, big or small, significantly impacts the overall narrative.

Avowed: A World of Choice and Consequence

Navigating Political Intrigue in The Living Lands

The choices you make in Avowed directly affect your political standing within The Living Lands of Eora. Patel highlights the interconnectedness of narrative threads, stating, "The choices and outcomes...are going to depend on what you're able to find." Players will uncover secrets and forge alliances, all while pursuing their political ambitions as an envoy from the Aedyran Empire.

The core of Avowed's "meaningful roleplay" lies in the depth of player choice. Patel explains, "It's about who you want to be in this world, and how these situations prepare you to express that." This is further enhanced by strategic combat blending magic, swords, and firearms, offering varied gameplay experiences with different ability combinations and weapon loadouts.

Multiple Endings, Countless Possibilities

IGN confirmed the presence of numerous endings, with Patel stating that the number of ending slides is in the double digits, and these endings result from a multitude of choice combinations. True to Obsidian's style, your ending will be a direct reflection of your actions and discoveries throughout the game. The sum total of your choices across the game will shape the ultimate conclusion.
