There were many Xbox games shown during the presentation that could be enough to tide gamers over for the next year or so. Avowed 's absence could just be a result of the title's more distant release, which might be a good thing. According to him, while Microsoft is expected to show Hellblade 2 during this year's The Game Awards, the first gameplay footage from Avowed may also make a surprise appearance there, failing which we'll see it in next year's E3 conference.Īvowed is being developed for PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles and will be available on Xbox Game Pass at release.įor the latest gaming news and reviews, follow IGN India on Twitter and Facebook. The games shown off at the Xbox and Bethesda showcase were confirmed to be launching within the next 12 months or so. If you are an avid Xbox gamer who seeks new exclusive games. It's not clear yet whether Avowed will be a full blown open-world game like Elder Scrolls, or if it will use a hub-based system like The Outer Worlds.Īccording to Corden, development on Avowed is further along than expected, with a playable alpha build being close to deployment. That being said, Obsidian Entertainment has Xbox-exclusives set for release a few months from now. While the reveal teaser was quite dark, early documentation and footage from Avowed is being described as "more colourful", more along the lines of The Outer Worlds.

Like The Outer Worlds being a bright and fun spin on the Fallout formula, Avowed is clearly taking a lot from Elder Scrolls although executed in a much more lighter tone. It's safe to assume then that Avowed is being built with an early version of Unreal Engine 5, although it may include custom additions and enhancements by Obsidian.

The game is being developed in an "enhanced" version of the engine used for The Outer Worlds, which was Unreal Engine 4.
