In what I am increasingly coming to regard as an accident of chronomancy, Avowed—Obsidian’s first-person fantasy RPG in the Pillars of Eternity universe—somehow came out last February. Since then, it’s been gradually working its way through its post-release roadmap. There’s been the update that overhauled fighters and rangers, the one that gave you six more talent points, and that one that let you turn its spiders into orbs.
But more is yet to come. And it was set to come, originally, this autumn, as part of the game’s fall 2025 pitstop on its roadmap. “If you’ve checked out a calendar you may have also noticed that fall is quickly running out,” Obsidian wrote in an update for fans on its Discord. You can probably guess what that means: “Avowed will not be receiving a fall update.”
- New Game Plus
- Photo mode
- A new weapon type
- Changing your character’s look mid-game
- New presets for your character
- More Godlike feature presets
Greetings, Envoys! If you’ve been following our Update Roadmap, you’ll know we planned to release an update this fall. Avowed will not be receiving a fall update. Instead, we’re shifting our efforts toward a larger update coming next February, timed with the anniversary of the game’s release.
