Xbox has announced that the release date for the highly anticipated RPG, Avowed, has been pushed back to February 18, 2025. While it’s disappointing to have to wait a little longer to dive into Obsidian Entertainment’s new game, this delay does provide some relief for gamers who already have a packed schedule of games to play this fall. With Avowed now launching in early 2025, it won’t be competing directly with other big titles like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows during the holiday season.
This decision to delay the release was made to give players’ backlogs some breathing room and to ensure that Avowed gets the attention it deserves when it finally launches. Xbox has also hinted at more exciting updates and announcements for games from Activision, Blizzard, and Bethesda during the upcoming gamescom event. Additionally, fans can look forward to a special livestream on August 23 focused on Avowed, where they will get a closer look at what the game has to offer.
For those who are eagerly awaiting the release of Avowed, the game is shaping up to be a mix of fantasy and action, similar to Obsidian’s previous title, The Outer Worlds. Players will have the choice to experience the game in either first-person or third-person perspective, interact with recruitable NPCs, and make decisions that will impact the outcome of the story. The combat system will feature a variety of options, including melee weapons, firearms, and magic.
Avowed is set to be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC, offering players a chance to explore a rich and immersive fantasy world on their platform of choice. As we wait for the game to launch in 2025, fans can stay tuned for more updates and details about what they can expect from this highly anticipated RPG.
