A Story-Rich Fantasy Sandbox – Avowed

It may seem like game developer Obsidian Entertainment only thrives in Bethesda’s shadow. The developer made one of the best Fallout games using Bethesda’s IP and publishing infrastructure, before branching out to make its own franchise with The Outer Worlds. In both cases, where Bethesda tends towards gargantuan open-world adventures, Obsidian uses a smaller sandbox to tell richer, more complex stories with nuance and depth.

Avowed, the latest new franchise from Obsidian, looks like it will continue that tradition, with a fantasy RPG that has a variety of combat options. The developers have talked up how much player choice will lead to consequences for the story. To be blunt, that’s a line we’ve heard from developers before, but Obsidian has earned some trust from us. Right now, Avowed is set for release sometime in fall of 2024.
