Avowed, Pillars of Eternity fans desperate to explore more of Eora just got good news from Obsidian

Based on a report by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier dated February 21, the development of the game “Avowed” faced challenges on its path from idea to release. The project kicked off as early as 2018, but the initial version was eventually scrapped. After Microsoft acquired Obsidian, “Avowed” had to be restarted with a new game director appointed. The game underwent resizing and alterations, but fortunately, things seem to have improved. Obsidian told Schreier they were “satisfied with sales thus far,” though specific numbers weren’t disclosed. Game director Patel, who took charge of the project after its reboot, expressed enthusiasm for building more games based on “Avowed”‘s base and stated that she “would be thrilled to explore further possibilities with it.

If Avowed had persisted with its initial concept, it’s very probable that those findings wouldn’t have materialized. This is due to the fact that the current version of Avowed differs significantly from its earlier form. Originally, Avowed was intended for a completely different purpose. This was before it underwent reboots and changes in direction.
