Finally seeing more of Xbox RPG Avowed has been one of our highlights of summer showcase season so far, and we're hoping that news of Devoted Studios jumping aboard to help out means the game might actually arrive in 2024.
The LA-based support studio has announced that it is assisting the Xbox first party team by creating "stunning 3D assets" for Avowed.
During the Xbox Games Showcase 2023, Obsidian confirmed that it was aiming for a 2024 release with Avowed, meaning it's one of the closer Xbox projects in the pipeline - beyond 2023 anyway. Of course, being first party, Avowed will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass.
Bringing support studios on board is commonplace within modern AAA development, so this is certainly no cause for concern to us. Hopefully Obsidian is getting all the support it needs to deliver its upcoming fantasy RPG in 2024!
Are you hyped for Avowed launching next year? Let us know your thoughts on this news down below.

Who are devoted studios? I don't think I've heard of them.
Bruh I thought Devoted Studios was plural instead of being one studio assisting them.
@CutchuSlow pretty much a straight support studio from the sound of it. They help on other studios projects. According to their website it sounds like they are more on the art side making levels and characters etc and port some games to other platforms as well.
They listed halo master chief collection as "one of at least 4" Microsoft related projects they have been contracted for. If avowed is another, maybe they are currently helping with others too (or don't want to publicize their involvement in past projects like redfall?).
This headline and parts of the article make it sound like they are just now bringing in this studio to help get the project out the door in 2024. But their tweet make it seem like they were helping much earlier in development and may or may not be finished with their role.
@BacklogBrad the 'more in 2024' line makes me think it's an ongoing thing - my bad if the headline caused any confusion. Hopefully we see more on the game soon!
Avowed been on my list forever. Glad to hear something about that game.
“we're hoping that news of Devoted Studios jumping aboard to help out means the game might actually arrive in 2024.”
…..!
What makes you think it won’t? - it’s only 2 months since the Xbox Showcase announced the game was coming in 2024.
@Feffster it needs release in 2024 this and hellblade 2 xbox need at needs at least 2 massive exclusives released every year
Sounds like it will be part of the Holiday season next year!
