Release date: TBC 2024
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X
Avowed is one of the most anticipated Xbox exclusives, and for good reason! Obsidian Entertainment is returning to the world of Eora – the universe that the studio’s stunning Pillars of Eternity games are set in – for a first-person, swords and shields RPG. With a wide world to explore, the option to imbue your character build with magic, and the promise of branching dialogue options, it really does sound like Obsidian is setting out to craft its very own Elder Scrolls-style adventure. Sadly, Avowed is thought to be in early development, and we’ve had precious little information since its reveal in 2021. However, we do know that Avowed will be released on PC and Xbox Series X, and that it’ll be in Xbox Game Pass from day one.
The Outer Worlds 2
Release date: TBC
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X
The Outer Worlds 2 is still a long, long ways away, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start losing our minds with a little unbridled anticipation. Obsidian announced its sequel to The Outer Worlds back in 2021, with a rather amusing trailer announcing that The Outer Worlds 2 was so early in development that it hadn’t even finalized the design of the main character – let alone anything else. Still, there is good reason to get excited by the game’s existence; Obsidian says it will be a “New star system; New crew; Same Outer Worlds”, and we know that the RPG will be in development on Epic’s impressive Unreal Engine 5 platform. One bit of disappointing news for players of the first game, it does appear that The Outer Worlds 2 won’t launch on Nintendo Switch or PS5 as it’s being published by Xbox Game Studios.
Here are the best Xbox Series X games to pick up while you wait for these Obsidian gems.
