Avowed, the upcoming title from Obsidian Entertainment, is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on February 17, coinciding with its anniversary update that will be available on all platforms. This update introduces highly requested features such as New Game Plus mode, Photo Mode, and three new playable races: Aumaua, Orlan, and Dwarves. Players can also expect a new weapon type and custom appearance options. The PS5 pre-orders are now open, and existing players on other platforms will receive the update for free. The move of Avowed to PlayStation is part of a broader trend where Xbox has been releasing its first-party titles on competing platforms, indicating a shift in strategy towards inclusivity in gaming.

Will Avowed have cross-platform features?

While no specific details about cross-platform features have been mentioned, the multi-platform release of Avowed suggests that Obsidian may include cross-play to enhance the gaming experience for all players.

Avowed is set in the same universe as Obsidian's popular Pillars of Eternity series, known for its rich storytelling and immersive worldbuilding. The game's fantasy setting, characterized by deep lore and engaging character development, aims to provide players with a captivating adventure in a visually stunning environment. With the positive reception of its predecessors, fans are eager to see how Avowed expands upon these elements while incorporating new features and gameplay mechanics.
