According to the leak, Avowed’s open world is bigger than Skyrim, but it will be “denser” and “more contrasting”. Most of the events take place in The Living Lands region. Players will find iconic landmarks, statues and buildings.
So far, the developers have planned two large cities with many smaller cities with a strong emphasis on contrasting wilderness, rivers, mountains and desert areas. It is noted that the character will be able to swim.
The developers place great emphasis on the reaction of the world to the actions of the player, as well as on lighting, next generation artificial intelligence systems and physics with some kind of magic systems.
Players will find an advanced character editor, support for modifications, creatures from the Pillars of Eternity lore with new additions, dynamic dialogue presentation and real-time weather changes. Fog will become an important element, and rivers will have their own physical system.
Avowed will supposedly have a large number of factions, but the approach to their implementation differs from Skyrim. Also, gamers will be able to take companions with them, but not as in The outer worlds… At the same time, while the authors want to leave the opportunity to kill all the characters.
In the story, players will have to fight the impending threat of tyranny, but the plot will be independent of previous stories. In addition, the developers have planned bosses, including very, very large, and the gods will receive a special word.
Avowed has been in development for 2 years and 7 months, and now a team of about 100 people is working on it. According to the leak, the game will be released in late 2023 or early 2023. In the list of platforms from the authors themselves, only Xbox Series X and PC.
