What you need to know
- A new report that Windows Central can corroborate suggests Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming RPG Avowed is getting a delay into early 2025 soon.
- Microsoft and Obsidian are delaying Avowed in response to STALKER 2's recent delay into November, as the Xbox Game Pass holiday release schedule was starting to get crowded between these two games, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Frostpunk 2, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
- Reportedly, the game itself "is in good shape," so it's unlikely that Avowed will be delayed any further due to technical reasons.
- The delay hasn't been confirmed officially yet, but it's likely Microsoft and Obsidian will detail it soon. It may be announced later in August during Gamescom 2024; Xbox will be at the show, and Microsoft has confirmed Avowed will be as well.
