Avowed gameplay trailer revealed at the Xbox Showcase, coming 2024
The first look at Obsidian's new first person RPG gives us major Skyrim vibes. That's a good thing!
We've just got our first proper look at Avowed, the upcoming first personal fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, courtesy of a lush new gameplay trailer shown off at today's Xbox Showcase.
The gameplay trailer gives us a look at the action at the heart of Avowed, with magic spells, tense fights against verious monsters, and more.. Previous reports stated that it was a game that borrowed from Skyrim and The Outer Worlds in terms of gameplay. Judging by the trailer, this looks to be absolutely true , as you can see for yourself below!
Obsidian, a beloved developer responsible for a variety of awesome RPGs like Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds, Pillars of Eternity, Alpha Protocol, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 and more. As you can likely imagine, the idea of a brand new fantasy RPG from the company behind so many bangers is an exciting prospect, even on a day when Starfield is expected to take up much of the interest from RPG lovers.
This trailer also comes at a time when Microsoft sorely needs a win seperate from Starfield. With games like Redfall recently leaving a sour taste in the mouths of Xbox owners, it's great to see Avowed come in a drum up some hype again.
