Avowed gameplay shown off in new deep dive

Get ready for some action!

Avowed gameplay was today shown off in a deep dive as part of a recent Xbox Developer Direct, and we’ve got the whole show for you right here.

“Not only will you make narrative decisions that can impact changes in the game down the line, but Avowed is also looking to offer choice in combat,” Microsoft and developer Obsidian said in a recap on Xbox Wire.

“Gameplay Director Gabe Paramo discussed not only how varied your weaponry will be – with melee weapons, ranged guns and bows, and magic-based wands (even dual-wielded wands!) to name a few – but how flexible combat can be, allowing you to quickly change loadouts for enemy encounters. Swappable loadouts mean you can approach combat however feels right to you.”

“Art Director Matt Hansen then explained how the Living Lands is a mysterious island made up of wildly varied regions offering visually diverse backdrops and intriguing settings to explore,” Microsoft continued. “With secrets hidden throughout the regions, you’ll take in barren deserts, verdant forests, blighted wastes, volcanic biomes, and more.”

The seven-minute deep dive is available in full above.

Players can expect Avowed on Windows PC, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X later in 2024. The title will also be available on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
