Things look very similar to something like Skyrim in that it's a mix of spell-casting and melee combat. Thanks to the most recent Avowed trailer, we now have a pretty good idea as to what gameplay will be like once the game launches. But when I think about our lineup, and I think about that more core fantasy RPG setting, I think Avowed is gonna be an awesome entrance there.”Įither way, we're excited to see what Obsidian brings to the table, even if it cleaves close to Skyrim in its combination of spell-aided combat and epic open-world quests. “I think the games are very different, so maybe I struggle a little bit to say that’s our version of this, just knowing what and the team are going off to do. When asked on an IGN podcast if Avowed will play an Elder Scrolls role for Xbox, given the The Elder Scrolls 6 is quite a while off yet, Spencer responded:

Expect a very controller-friendly RPG.īased on its trailer, Avowed has drawn some comparisons with the Elder Scrolls series in terms of its appearance but Phil Spencer has said there are “distinct differences” between the games.

Avowed being announced on an Xbox stream, for a launch across PC, Xbox, and Game Pass, confirms how different this is going to be. What's also new here is that the POE games were very much PC-first experiences, even if both 2015's Pillars of Eternity and 2018's sequel Deadfire came to current-gen consoles a couple of years after their initial launch dates. Pillars of Eternity largely focused on the nation of Dyrwood, though, which is slightly different to what's on show this time around. We expect fans of the POE games will be sure to recognize elements of the world. So, the game will feel quite different from its predecessors. Set in Eora, the world of the Pillars of Eternity games, both games are developed by Obsidian but Avowed will take a first-person perspective, rather than POE's isometric perspective.
