Avowed Standard Edition

What is Avowed for Xbox Series X|S and Windows?

Avowed is the latest open world RPG game from Obsidian Entertainment, the development studio behind successful games like Pillars of Eternity, Grounded and Pentiment. Avowed is set in the same narrative continuum as Pillars of Eternity, thus providing a rich lore that players can tap into for greater immersion. The game was released exclusively for Xbox and Windows, though a future port to other systems cannot be ruled out. It is also a Day1 release on Game Pass Ultimate, which is surely great news for all subscribers.

What can I expect from this game?

You are an envoy of the Aedyr Empire, sent to the distant Living Lands to investigate the Dreamscourge, a mysterious spiritual plague that turns people and animals into mindless brutes covered in fungi. Of course there is a lot more under the surface, ancient secrets that only you can discover, and the fate of the whole Living Lands will ultimately depend on your choices. Yes, player choices actually matter in Avowed, with a variety of options that allow players to roleplay however they want. You can save a wounded soldier and avoid him dying a virgin, or you can let him die and loot his corpse. The choice is yours. Just don’t expect your AI companions to always blindly agree with whatever you do.
Gameplay-wise Avowed plays like a more refined and polished Skyrim. It takes many of the best features of Bethesda’s masterpiece and makes them its own, distilled in a compact game with less scope and epic but full to the brim with interesting characters and things to do. Avowed is arguably the most interesting open-world RPG of this generation, and should not be missed by players who like the genre.

What are the contents of Avowed Standard Edition?

The Standard Edition of Avowed only provides the base game, with no extras. There is also a Premium Edition available at Gamecardsdirect that includes all the additional content. We also have the Premium Upgrade, which adds all the Premium content to the base game.

Do I need to play Pillars of Eternity before?

Avowed is set in the Pillars of Eternity world, roughly between the first game and the second. So it’s true that there is a lot of lore to access if you are interested in the history of the world, but all of this is completely optional because Avowed is its own game, and it plays out in a separate time and location. It can safely be played by anyone, even people who have never heard of Pillars.
