Set in a fictional world called Eora which was first introduced to a player in the Pillars of Eternity franchise, Avoed is the first person fantasy action RPG of developer Obsidian Entertainment.

In this game, you are the envoy of Aedyr, a faraway country, who was sent to investigate rumors of an outbreak spreading across Living Lands, an island full of mystery and secrets.

There, you will embark on a dangerous adventure, and be faced with a wide selection and consequences, and an unjindled wildlife.

Avoged has joined several other confirmed Microsoft titles to be released in 2025, including Fable, South of Midnight, and DOOM: The Dark Ages.

Microsoft also recently announced that Avowed will be one of the 50 games coming to the company's booth at Gamescom later this month.
