Really excited. Obsidian is one of the best studios around.

Even Grounded, a silly, b-team, honey-I-shrunk-the-kids game, had a surprisingly well written and compelling story that had me tear up at one point.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Players looking forward to Obsidian Entertainment’s next fantasy role-playing game (RPG) will experience some variety in the world that they explore.

Patel says that the “target” for the overall experience is comparable to Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire, a top-down RPG from Obsidian that was released back in 2018, though Patel adds that there’s a lot of “tonal variety” depending on the exact side quest or section of the main path players are on.

Giatta is a magic-wielding Ocean Human, Kai is a brawling Coastal Aumaua, Marius is a Mountain Dwarf ranger, and Yatzli is a spell-slinging Hearth Orlan.

I’ve been interested in Avowed since it was first announced all the way back in 2020 simply by dint of it being an Obsidian Entertainment RPG.

As the developers have shared more details, such as revealing the third-person mode, that interest has only steadily grown.

On that note, we do really need a release date for this — as well as Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle — soon.
