'Avowed' is Obsidian's next big Xbox Series X RPG
Obsidian is bringing its RPG chops to the fantasy genre once again with Avowed.

Microsoft studio Obsidian Entertainment just unveiled its upcoming first-person RPG, dubbed Avowed.
In the trailer, we see impressive expanses filled with skeletal armies, and hints at Elder Scrolls-like first-person fantasy combat, with a spell in one hand and a weapon in the other.
Avowed is set in an "expansive" world dubbed Eora, and looked like a completely new IP. Microsoft studios lead Matt Booty noted that Avowed is built from the ground up for Xbox Series X hardware.
We'll drop more details in here as soon as we have them.

Now this was incredible. Obsidian smacking Bethesda round like a rag doll. Can't wait for this. RPG heaven.

While it looked good, I'm waiting for the next trailer or gameplay to get excited.

That bit at the end was actual gameplay. In the cave. But this is Obsidian, one of the best RPG writers in the business. Now a AAA studio. They were incredible before. This is what funding does for a studio.

This was my fav of the show. Bring it on.

This literally showed me nothing but arrows and a giant skeleton dying. I'm keen because it's Obsidian, and they have some fantastic writing, but the trailer didn't really give me enough to really "want" it.
