"Another first-party Xbox game is making the leap to PlayStation 5. This time around, Obsidian's Avowed - one of our favorite games of last year - is crossing the great divide. The fantasy action RPG will hit Sony's console on February 17, one day shy of the game's first anniversary. As it happens, an anniversary update is set to go live on all platforms at the same time."
"This includes a new game+ mode (allowing those who have beaten the RPG to replay it with all their gear and upgrades from their previous run), a photo mode, a new weapon type and more. Avowed is set in the same universe as Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity games. It tasks you with investigating a fungal plague that has infested the world."
""The writing is stellar throughout, though the sidequests that reveal your companions' backstories are particularly poignant," Engadget senior reporter Jessica Conditt wrote. " Avowed is gorgeous, its combat systems are fully customizable, its characters are intriguing and its encumbrance limit is generous. There's a real sense of magic about the entire game - and no, that's not just the mind-altering mushrooms talking.""
Obsidian's fantasy action RPG Avowed will release on PlayStation 5 on February 17, one day before its first anniversary. An anniversary update will launch across all platforms simultaneously, adding a new game+ mode that allows completed players to replay with prior gear and upgrades, a photo mode, a new weapon type and additional features. Avowed shares the Pillars of Eternity universe and centers on investigating a fungal plague afflicting the world. The writing and companion sidequests receive praise, and the game features customizable combat, intriguing characters, generous encumbrance, and a strong sense of magic. Microsoft continues to port first-party Xbox titles to PS5.
