Xbox has entrusted Obsidian with the task of opening the dances of its Developer Direct, presenting the long-awaited action-RPG Awoved at the opening of the show. At the end of a contribution of about ten minutes The game has been generically announced for the fall of 2024.

Set as known in the mysterious Living Lands of the planet Eora, Avowed aspires to create an immersive experience also through a wide variety of scenarios that Obsidian wanted to enrich with a remarkable amount of detail.

Gameplay director Gabriel Paramo took the floor, emphasizing the central importance of combat, even in a game with a clear RPG matrix. In particular, the sword combat seems decidedly sophisticated, with parries, dodges and special attacks, but also the combat with weapons has shown itself in all its variety, going from magic wands to the famous dual-wield pistols.

But of course, Obsidian didn't want to forget the role-playing component. Placed in the context of a story announced as decidedly deep and with challenging themes, we will have numerous and difficult choices to make, which will shape the story and our character's relationship with it. During the demonstration, for example, a side mission was shown in which we will have to evaluate the credibility of a story told to us by a non-commissioned officer, to decide whether to believe him or not. with the consequences.

Let us know in the comments if you're eager to play Avowed which, we remind you, has been announced for the fall of this year and of course will arrive on day one directly in Xbox Game Pass.
