Finally, it sounds like the “ you can kill anyone and everyone ” gameplay of The Outer Worlds will return in Avowed. It will fully respect the lore of Pillars of Eternity, including the creatures, along with new additions, plus a “ dynamic presentation of dialogue, ” whatever that means. Two large cities have been planned with many smaller ones surrounding them, and a strong focus on contrasting areas around them like wild areas, with rivers, mountains and desolate areas. The game will supposedly include boss battles with some of them being “ very very large,” the gods themselves will have a special say in the game, and there will be a big focus on iconic landmarks and buildings.

There’ll be a very advanced character creation tool, mod support on PC (apparently a big focus, but will also be available on Xbox), a large number of factions, and of course, companions. There will also apparently be a real time weather system with real time weather elements and micro physics in rivers. Though Sponger also mentions that there is a “ special focus on physics with magic systems, ” but has no idea what this means. There will also allegedly be a big focus on world reactivity, lighting and next-gen AI systems and physics. The story will apparently focus on a “ fight against incoming threat of tyranny,” but will be independent from the previous Pillars of Eternity storylines. It will also be set primarily in the Living Lands region of Eora, which as some of you may know is an area in the Pillars of Eternity series.

The leak suggests there will be all kinds of gameplay systems and mechanics at play, which all sound pretty cool to be honest.įirst of all, Avowed will reportedly be a full open world much like Skyrim, but a much denser version too.

So then what’s the info? Well, after stealing the spotlight from Bethesda before by making the arguably best Fallout game in the franchise, Fallout: New Vegas, Obsidian seems to now be tackling the Fantasy genre much like Skyrim. The leak has been credited by a known insider already, Klobrille, who recently leaked that Fable 4 would be revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase a week before the actual reveal.

But, an alleged leak may have given us the best insight into the game and what we might be able to expect when it eventually comes out. The Xbox Games Showcase came and went last week, and whilst it was clear that Halo Infinite was supposed to be the main takeaway, it was Obsidian who kind of swept the floor with their slate of 3 upcoming projects including their brand new fantasy RPG Avowed being one of the most anticipated games from the reveal.īut not much is really known right now, other than the name and genre, as we only got a short CGI teaser.
