We've been hearing about Obsidian's next major RPG for a while now, and well, Avowed has returned! The team has unveiled a first look at gameplay in its new Xbox Games Showcase trailer, and we're very pleased with what we're seeing here.
Following the team's run with The Outer Worlds it's nice to see Obsidian take a fresh stab at a fantasy RPG - and it very much looks like the team is putting its own spin on things. It's still a ways off of course, but Avowed is shaping up nicely and could be a real Game Pass treat.
Avowed hits Xbox and PC, including Xbox Game Pass of course, in 2024. Take a look at the brand-new footage up above, and here's a brief introduction to this new Xbox exclusive RPG:
"Expanding the universe that we created for the original Pillars of Eternity games, Avowed brings a new perspective, a new way to fight, and a new land to explore in the world of Eora. The Pillars games are near and dear to us and we can’t wait to share Avowed with everyone next year."
What do you think to this gameplay reveal for Avowed? Happy to finally see it in action? Let us know.

Man, that looks rough but at least it’s gameplay
Yeah. Didn’t look that great. Underwhelmed.
Looked pretty underhelming to me
Watch the 4k trailer. It looks a lot better unless you mean the gameplay in general and not the graphics
@Gr81 I did watch it in 4k on a 65 inch oled lol....the graphics look plop compared to starfield...and that's not really the reason it looked underhelming..just looked outdated and meh
Here are the negative Nellie's who want super real graphics. Obsidian delivered, don't act like they don't
Might not be the best looking game of the showcase but I’m definitely excited for it.
Also game is clearly still being made or it would be out now. Salty weirdos on here trying to poop on what's been an amazing showcase. But that was to be expected. So far its been like an E3 blast from the past. Obsidian have the rep and clout to promote confidence and trust.
Very excited for this, i reckon it could be one of the big hitters of next year.
I honestly thought it was another Elder Scrolls expansion. Looks horrible. And, again, "coming in 2024" means nothing to me at this point.
The trolls are out hahahah
@Zoidpilot4 Yes because we aren't wetting ourselves and automatically thinking everyone looks awesome we are the weirdos....
If you think it looks good then fine...why you so worried that others don't you daft super fanboy
@StylesT it's weird that you wanna run on here and moan
@Zoidpilot4 it's weird that people want to comment on a show they are watching for a console they own? ...only thing weird is how hurt you are that others don't share your opinion
@Zoidpilot4 you sound like a teenage, at least be civil
Didn't know much about this, but looks good and will deffo give it a go 👍
I'm genuinely excited about Fable and Avowed. I think that both will be great games.
@Banjo- thank you! Lots of negativity but I enjoyed what I saw. Not going to let the internet ruin my enjoyment.
Avowed may not be mindblowing visually but looks like an Obsidian RPG which is exactly what I would want.
@K1LLEGAL I honestly can't believe this negativity, it's like I stepped into another dimension 🤣. Besides, there was a lot of good third-party stuff, some coming to Game Pass.
@Banjo- nobody's bothered about 3rd party stuff where was indiana Jones gears of war 6 and other exclusives on the whole it wasn't a great showcase at all I though avowed and hellblade looked great though
@Dan1283 How are Fable and Avowed 3rd party? (They aren’t).
I've ignored an army of trolls haha
@Dan1283 There MUST be a lot of first-party content coming because Microsoft has the highest number of studios but they can't show and release everything at the same time. Perfect Dark was not there either but 2024 is packed already and we are getting Starfield and Forza Motorsport this year.
It wasn't a bad showcase to be honest better than Sonys that's for sure
Didn’t blow me away, but, eh, it’s Obsidian. It’ll have good writing, and hopefully, like Outer Worlds, it’ll be better in practice than in trailers. I’ll always remember thinking, “Wow, Obsidian went Borderlands” with Outer Worlds, but that wasn’t the case.
I really think this could be an excellent title and Im rooting for it.
Performance looked rough, but theres plenty of time to fix that...
Looks interesting, had no expectations so wasn't disapointed!
This was the only thing that let me down. Absolutely horrible and I hope it was just the terrible trailer. Looks nothing like it did when they first announced it.
There should be more clapback for games looking nothing like their first showing.
Other than that, spectacular show.
The gameplay looks a bit too The Outer Worlds for me. Couldn't get into that game at all.
@BrilliantBill Outer Worlds seriously looked disappointing initially, so I’m willing to put faith in Obsidian that I just haven’t seen the game yet. Obsidian’s titles tend to be immersive
I think this looks wonderful, don't understand the negativity at all. Not sure what people expected from Obsidian, but anyone that has played the outer worlds shouldn't be too surprised by the stylistic choices here. Absolutely can't wait to play it.
People wanted gameplay content and this game is still a ways off. It looks interesting, I'm sure it will get some polish before we see it again.
Getting a Dark Messiah of Might and Magic vibe, and I mean that in a good way.
sure if your a graphics whore then this was a disappointment. Not every game needs to be visual masterpiece people. we have hellblade 2, forza, flightsim, and other first party games that push the visual department. this is a first person RPG by obsidian, if you were expecting hellblade 2 visuals then thats on you.
Negative review here eeehhhh....
Well....
Gamepass got you covered
I think this might have been my favorite thing from the Showcase. Doesn't necessarily mean that I think it was the best thing showed off, but something about this game just really caught me. Looks fun, excited to play around with it! I love how colorful it is
I had to watch the trailer a 2nd time - looked good to me… will be one of the 2024 highlights for sure….
It looked a bit "we have The Elder Scrolls at home" mixed with some Dark Messiah. I'm sure it'll be okay, I just have no idea why they don't just have them working on Bethesda properties so MS can get games out for those massive franchises. It's kind of baffling to me.
I'm extremely hyped for this game. This looks exceptional.
