The Latest Breaking News from Obsidian

I don't care about being able to kill everybody and steal the Mayor's pants in an RPG like Avowed, and I'm tired of pretending it's mandatory

You don't have to be Skyrim to be good.

PC Gamer

Kingdom Come 2 and Avowed have revealed to me the grand unified theory of game design: A good game is when you can steal back the money you just spent at a shop, a bad game is when you can't

There's hunger at Obsidian for a Pillars of Eternity Tactics game after Avowed, says studio design director Josh Sawyer, but it doesn't sound like it'd get that Baldur's Gate 3-size budget he was fantasizing about

The Fallout: New Vegas director explains the difficulty in making a Pillars Tactics

Avowed could have been Obsidian's Redfall, with a Destiny plus Skyrim co-op multiplayer vision scrapped early in a grueling 6-year development

The great game we got instead is apparently selling well, with DLC and a sequel on the table.

PC Gamer

Too many RPGs don't get that 'choices that matter' isn't just about cause and effect, but Avowed does

I want choices that matter to me, not just to the game.

There's a simple way to enable FSR 3 frame gen in Avowed and it more than doubled my frame rate, but it makes waterfalls look ugly as sin

Still, 150 fps + even in Paradis central? I'll take it.

PC Gamer

Avowed's huge 66GB update includes major improvements for the game's whole progression system, along with key bug fixes and buffs for companions

Patch 1.2.2 is surprisingly extensive for a launch day update.

PC Gamer

Avowed's in-dialogue glossary isn't that new, really—it's just somehow not industry-standard yet, though it could solve the 'amnesiac/prisoner RPG protagonist' problem forever

If someone says "wow, you must've hit your head hard" one more time, I'm gonna lose it.

Leave the Hinterlands, but take your time in Dawnshore

Obsidian is trolling all of us by disabling one of Avowed's most useful settings by default, and we're mad about it

Why they decided to disable the ability to see such important objects on the compass is beyond me!

Avowed stands tall as one of 2025's biggest Xbox and PC RPGs, but can you play it in co-op multiplayer?
