Avowed: Release Date & Pre-order Details Revealed - Finally, Some Good News!
So, you've been waiting, haven't you? Like, really waiting. Patiently refreshing Obsidian's website, scouring forums for scraps of info… The wait for Avowed, the highly anticipated first-person RPG from the minds behind Pillars of Eternity, is almost over. Let's dive into the juicy details that have finally dropped.
The Big Reveal: When Can I Play?!
Okay, deep breaths, everyone. The official release date for Avowed is currently slated for 2024. While a specific month or day hasn't been announced (grrr, Obsidian!), just knowing it's coming next year is a huge win. We've been in the dark for so long, this is practically a beacon of hope. Seriously, I almost cried. Almost.
Pre-Ordering: Get Your Hands on it Early (Maybe?)
Right now, pre-orders aren't officially open. It's a bit of a bummer, I know. We're all hyped and ready to throw money at our screens, but patience is key (easier said than done, I get it!). Obsidian has promised updates on pre-order options soon, so keep your eyes peeled on their official channels. Check back regularly – you don't want to miss out on any early-bird bonuses!
What We Know So Far (Beyond the Hype)
Avowed promises a sprawling world to explore, a deep and engaging story, and combat that's going to be, frankly, awesome. Think a blend of Skyrim's openness with the rich narrative of Pillars of Eternity – that's the vibe they're going for. It’s all high fantasy goodness, with a dash of the mysterious and a whole lot of potential. The gameplay footage shown so far looks killer. I'm already picturing myself slaying mythical beasts and uncovering ancient secrets.
Exploring the Aethel World
The game is set in the world of Aethel, a place brimming with danger, intrigue, and secrets ripe for the plucking. We've seen glimpses of lush forests, imposing mountains, and creepy, unsettling dungeons – it all looks absolutely breathtaking. Expect choices with consequences, a dynamic world, and maybe even a few friendly (or unfriendly) NPCs to chat with along the way.
Character Customization and Choices
We're still learning about the specifics of character customization, but expect the usual RPG fare: races, classes, skills, and – most importantly – the ability to truly craft your own hero's journey. The choices you make in the game are apparently going to have huge ramifications on how the story unfolds. That's the stuff that keeps me coming back for more!
Staying Updated: Where to Look
Obsidian's website and their social media channels (Twitter, X, Facebook, etc.) are your best bet for staying up-to-date on all things Avowed. They'll be dropping news bombs regularly, so keep those notifications turned on! Don't fall for fake news or sketchy sites pretending to have pre-order links either. Stick to official sources only.
The Bottom Line: Get Ready to Adventure!
2024 can't come soon enough! The wait for Avowed has been a long one, but the promise of a fantastic RPG experience is making it all worthwhile. Keep those fingers crossed for a smooth launch, and get ready to lose yourself in the stunning world of Aethel. We’re all in this together! Let's hope for a 2024 release that doesn't disappoint.
