The developers of the role-playing game Avowed assured the public that despite the abundance of bright colors, the game will have enough dark locations, and the project itself is distinguished by a «variety of tones.» In addition, they shared new information about the satellite system.
If you actually go through and explore the world, you're gonna find darker moments. We've shown the vibrant, colorful things, but there's some darker, scarier areas too.
She noted that players will find a «great variety of tones» depending on their playstyle and chosen path. According to her, the overall spirit of the game will be comparable to Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire, which was released by Obsidian in 2018.
As for the companion system, it will resemble mechanics from the Dragon Age series. For example, before being included in the squad, companions will wait for the player in the camp near the fire, and when completing their personal quests, some will have to be taken with them. In total, players will have a choice of four companions — the magician girl Yatzli, the ranger Marius, the sorceress Giatta and the fighter Kai. Romances with them, alas, are impossible.
The plot of Avowed will unfold in the Pillars of Eternity universe. The main character will go to the island of Living Lands to investigate rumors about a mysterious plague. In the process, he will face some danger that could destroy the world.
Avowed is scheduled to be released this year for PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms. According to rumors, the project will be released on November 12.
