Avowed is a brand-new franchise set in the existing Pillars of Eternity universe, taking place after the events of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. The game brings players to The Living Lands for the first time, and is designed to welcome brand-new players and existing fans of the acclaimed CRPG (computer role-playing game) series that came before. The world of Eora is seen in a new light, including its pantheon of fickle gods, its abundance of unique cultures and peoples, and the never-ending importance and influence of the soul. — Zachary Boddy
Avowed's general release is scheduled for 10 AM Pacific Time on February 18. That translates to 1 PM on the East Coast and 6 PM in the UK.
