A first-person fantasy RPG from the award-winning team at Obsidian Entertainment.

Set in the fictional world of Eora that was first introduced to players in the Pillars of Eternity franchise, Avowed is a first-person fantasy RPG from the award-winning team at Obsidian Entertainment. You are the envoy of Aedyr, a distant land, sent to investigate rumors of a spreading plague. You discover a personal connection to the land itself and an ancient secret that threatens to destroy everything. Can you save the island and your soul from the forces threatening to tear them asunder?

The Weird and Wonderful Living Lands

As an envoy of the kingdom of Aedyr, you are sent to the far-off island known as the Living Lands to investigate rumors of a spreading plague. The island itself is full of mysteries and secrets, danger and adventure, and choices and consequences. The Living Lands is a place that feels foreign at all times yet somewhat intrinsic to you as it feels the island itself is calling out to you for help. Explore an island home to many different environments and landscapes, each with their own unique ecosystem.

Visceral Combat to Play Your Way

Face the many dangerous creatures inhabiting the Living Lands in any way you desire. Mix and match swords, spells, guns, and shields to make quick work of enemies. Freeze an enemy in their place then smash them with your axe. Dig into your grimoire for spells to trap an enemy so you can follow up with a blow from your sword. Bash an enemy with your shield to stun them before driving your sword into them and kicking them off a cliff. How you approach each engaging combat situation is up to you.
