Avowed Confirmed to Have Multiple Endings

Obsidian Entertainment has officially confirmed that their anticipated RPG, Avowed, will feature multiple endings. Director Carrie Patel emphasized in an interview the importance of having different consequences for player choices leading to various outcomes, with an emphasis on maintaining a balance between predictability and surprising twists to keep the gameplay engaging. Avowed is set to release this year on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and will be available on Game Pass as well.

The game is developed by the acclaimed studio Obsidian Entertainment, known for creating The Outer Worlds and the Pillars of Eternity series. Although Avowed is part of the same universe as Pillars of Eternity, it is designed to be accessible and enjoyable even for those who have not played the previous games in the series. Fresh gameplay was showcased earlier this year during the Developer Direct, where Microsoft and Obsidian provided a glimpse into what players can expect come the launch in the fall.

No, Avowed is being crafted to be an enjoyable experience even for those who are new to the universe and have not played the Pillars of Eternity series.

Obsidian Entertainment has a rich history in role-playing game development. Founded in 2003, the California-based company has been lauded for its work on titles such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II and Fallout: New Vegas. Their knack for creating deeply immersive worlds with complex narratives has set a high standard in the RPG genre. Its Pillars of Eternity series is particularly noted for its strong storytelling and intricate gameplay mechanics, which are expected to influence Avowed's development. With the success of their previous games, Obsidian's fans are eagerly awaiting the unique experiences that Avowed will bring to the RPG domain.
