Seeing Obsidian's developers make the same public statement for the third time in a year that the studio's upcoming RPG Avowed isn't like Skyrim reminds me of nothing so much as a prank interview with Elijah Wood—in which the Lord of the Rings co-star Dominic Monaghan torments poor Frodo with repeat enquiries into whether he wears wigs.
Obsidian’s upcoming Xbox console exclusive, Avowed is similar in length to the studio’s previous role-playing game, The Outer Worlds, it’s said.
When Avowed was first announced back in 2020, the internet latched on to one comparison that Obsidian's RPG hasn't been able to shake off since: a comparison to Skyrim. A first-person perspective, fantasy world, sword-and-magic dual-wielding - the surface-level similarities are certainly there, but Avowed's leads say the game has more in common with the studio's prior work.
We already knew that Avowed wouldn't be a Skyrim-like behemoth in size, but Game Director Carrie Patel from Obsidian clarified it's going to be fairly short in general for an RPG. Speaking to Game Informer, she said players can expect a similar length to the studio's previous game, the sci-fi The Outer Worlds.
Obsidian Entertainment has released a 27-minute gameplay trailer that showcases thrilling battles and intense combat sequences to give us a taste of what to expect from Avowed.
I've been carefully tempering my expectations of Avowed—an upcoming RPG made by Obsidian, the creators of Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and The Outer Worlds.
Avowed was featured with a new story trailer at yesterday's Xbox Game Showcase 2024, and an Obsidian blog post briefly mentioned a November 12 release date before being corrected.
