Their tip about the release date didn't turn out to be true after all, but for all we know, it might have been Obsidian's initial goal. Just make sure you take this with a heavy pinch of salt, as without corroboration these claims are unsubstantiated. While details from Obsidian and Microsoft on Avowed have been scarce, the aforementioned post from ResetEra user Sponger back in 2020 made a number of bold claims that we’re going to sum up below. This means the game might be slated to launch anytime between April to June 2024, but being a leak from an unconfirmed "insider", we can't know for certain.

Pillars of Eternity received a sequel in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire in 2018, which further developed the lore of Eora. Pillars of Eternity is another RPG franchise from Obsidian, though it is a more traditional isometric party-based game, billed as a spiritual successor to titles like Baldur’s Gate and the Planescape series. ![]() One of the details we do know about Avowed is that it’s set in the fantasy world of Eora, which is the world upon which Pillars of Eternity is set.
