Avowed director pushes back on the Skyrim comparisons, says the RPG is "a lot closer" to Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity and The Outer Worlds
How does Avowed's quest and narrative structure compare to The Outer Worlds?
Avowed's quest and narrative structure are compared to The Outer Worlds, featuring a series of open zones that are connected and unlock over the course of the game, rather than one giant map5. The quest structure and narrative are a lot closer to The Outer Worlds, with choices and consequences playing a significant role in shaping the player's experience.
How does Avowed's tone differ from The Outer Worlds?
Avowed's tone is different from The Outer Worlds as it takes inspiration from Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire, featuring a grounded and serious political story with esoteric, metaphysical, and divine elements. While both games share a focus on choice, character building, and progression, Avowed has a more serious tone compared to The Outer Worlds' satirical, anti-corpo space theme.
When is Avowed expected to launch on Xbox Series X|S, Game Pass, and PC?
Avowed is expected to launch on Xbox Series X|S, Game Pass, and PC in Fall 2024. The game will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass as well as Xbox Cloud Gaming for those who subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate1.
