Avowed says sorry gang, no fall update this year, but to make up for it the devs are rolling together a bunch of features into a ball and putting them out in February

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.”
