During the Xbox Games Showcase 2023, we finally got a new look at the upcoming fantasy RPG Avowed, which was first announced almost three years ago. Set in the world of Eora — the same setting as Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity franchise — Avowed asks what players will do with the newfound power they possess as they explore the mysterious island known as the Living Lands.

We now know that Avowed is slated to launch at some point in 2024 across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and like all first-party games, Xbox Game Pass.
Obsidian Entertainment was acquired by Microsoft back in 2018, with different teams at the studio launching and announcing a number of games in the past years. This includes Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2, as well as less traditional titles like the survival game Grounded and 2022's critically acclaimed Pentiment.
