Obsidian Entertainment is renowned for their masterful storytelling, delivering unforgettable RPGs. Now they’re bringing us a new adventure with Avowed, a first-person fantasy RPG set in the world of Pillars of Eternity. Launching day one on PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate, this brand-new adventure invites players to explore a rich, untamed world filled with danger, magic, and mystery.
Avowed takes players to the Living Lands, a remote and enigmatic island brimming with adventure and secrets. As an envoy of the distant kingdom of Aedyr, you’re tasked with investigating a mysterious plague spreading across the land. But what begins as a mission of duty quickly transforms into something deeply personal as you uncover a long-buried secret that ties you to the fate of the Living Lands itself.
The combat in Avowed offers something for everyone. Whether you want to wield powerful spells, master melee weapons like swords and shields, or take a tactical approach with bows and firearms, the game lets you craft a playstyle that fits your vision of a hero. You can summon elemental magic to trap, burn, or freeze enemies, clash head-on with brutal melee attacks or strike from a distance with precision. Every battle is designed to be dynamic, rewarding creativity and strategy in equal measure.
What makes Avowed special is that you won’t be facing the Living Lands alone but with an entourage of companions. In Avowed, you’ll journey alongside a cast of unique allies, from a hardened mercenary to an eccentric wizard, each with their own abilities and personal stories. Your choices and actions will shape the growth and loyalty of your companions as they fight by your side, as well as the immersive world around you.
For RPG fans, the value of Avowed being available on PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate is unparalleled. Joining a stellar lineup that includes games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed is another incredible addition to the growing Game Pass library. Plus, with cloud gaming support, you’ll be able to dive into this epic fantasy world anywhere, anytime.
And if you want to take your adventure even further, Game Pass members can upgrade for just $24.95 to unlock Premium Skin Packs, featuring two sets of bonus skins for your companions, along with access to the Avowed Digital Artbook and Original Soundtrack.
Whether you’re a longtime Obsidian fan, a lover of fantasy RPGs, or someone looking for the next big adventure, Avowed is a must-play title. With its deep storytelling, engaging combat, and unforgettable companions, it’s set to deliver a truly epic experience.
