Forge Your Destiny in Avowed With PC Game Pass on Day One
Obsidian Entertainment is renowned for their masterful storytelling, delivering unforgettable RPGs. Now they’re bringing us a new adventure with Avowed, a first-person fantasy RPG set in the world of Pillars of Eternity. Launching day one on PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate, this brand-new adventure invites players to explore a rich, untamed world filled with danger, magic, and mystery.
Avowed takes players to the Living Lands, a remote and enigmatic island brimming with adventure and secrets. As an envoy of the distant kingdom of Aedyr, you’re tasked with investigating a mysterious plague spreading across the land. But what begins as a mission of duty quickly transforms into something deeply personal as you uncover a long-buried secret that ties you to the fate of the Living Lands itself.
The combat in Avowed offers something for everyone. Whether you want to wield powerful spells, master melee weapons like swords and shields, or take a tactical approach with bows and firearms, the game lets you craft a playstyle that fits your vision of a hero. You can summon elemental magic to trap, burn, or freeze enemies, clash head-on with brutal melee attacks or strike from a distance with precision. Every battle is designed to be dynamic, rewarding creativity and strategy in equal measure.
