The upcoming fantasy RPG Avowed is set within the Pillars of Eternity universe, but the gameplay is completely accessible to the uninitiated. Obsidian Entertainment has taken five years to develop the title, which is considerably longer than the developers previous projects Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords and Fallout: New Vegas. With not long to go until its rumored Q4 2024 release date, Avoweds lead dev is stressing how important the companions are to gameplay.
