Obsidian's foray into first-person fantasy RPGs is set in𝓀 Eora, the world from Pillars of Eternity
Avowed, a new first-person RPG from Fallout: New Vegas and The Outer Worlds creator 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obsidian Entertainment, w📖as announced at today's Xbox Games Showcase.
With Avowed, Obsidian is once again dipping back into fantasy for a break from sci-fi. Set in the world ofღ Eora from Pillars of Eternity, Avowed's reveal trailer is dark and stormy with shades of Skyrim, a marked departure from their earlier work on Fallout: New Vegas, at least in terms of setting and themes.
Curiously enough, this is Obsidian's first, first-person fantasy RPG. Games like Pillars of E🗹ternity, Tyranny, and Neverwinter Nights 2 were all isometric RPGs, and the studio's first-person projects have always been some flavor of sci-fi. The game's reveal trailer was a bite of exposition and a snippet of first-person gameplay, with our hero brandishing a sword in one hand and a spell in the other - confirming that, yep, it's a fantasy RPG.
"We have always k🗹nown war," the trailer's narrator says. "It forged our empire, turned heroes into kings an🐲d queens, and decimated our foes. Now our oaths are lost, forsaken. Now you must face the monsters our sins have born. Is an oath worth the weight of a crown?"
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft S꧟tudios head Matt Booty described Avowed as the epic game that Obisidan has wanted to make for years, and as a project "built from the ground up to take advantage of Xbox Series X."
After the reveal of Avowed, Obsidian is now spinning quite a few plates. On top of a new fantasy title, it's also working on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the newly announced Peril on Gorgꦦon DLC for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Outer Worlds, as well as the miniaturized survival-crafting game 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Grounded. The studio has come a lꦺong way since Fallout: New Vegas and is now positioned as a keꦉy creative for Xbox, and in the past few years especially, it's brought its trademark wit and writing to new genres and unique worlds of its own making.
