Microsoft has shared disappointing news for fans eagerly awaiting the first-person RPG Avowed, announcing a delay in its release date. Originally slated for Fall 2024, the game’s launch has been pushed to February 18, 2025. This news comes just ahead of a planned livestream event that was set to showcase new footage and details from the Obsidian Entertainment-developed title.

Avowed has generated significant excitement among RPG fans since its 2020 announcement, partly due to its development by Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind Fallout: New Vegas and the Pillars of Eternity series. While Avowed shares its setting with Pillars of Eternity, it takes place in a different region known as The Living Lands and features a standalone story, making it accessible to newcomers. Unlike the isometric gameplay of the Pillars series, Avowed is a first-person RPG, offering a fresh experience for players.

Microsoft’s announcement confirmed earlier rumors of a potential delay to 2025. The decision to push the release was influenced by the crowded Fall 2024 release calendar, which would have seen Avowed competing with major titles like Age of Mythology, ARA: History Untold, the Vessel of Hatred expansion for Diablo 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and other anticipated releases such as an Indiana Jones game and the Starfield Shattered Space DLC. With so many high-profile games launching around the same time, it was unlikely that Avowed would receive the attention it deserved.

Despite the delay, Microsoft remains confident in Avowed, emphasizing that the change is more about avoiding release congestion rather than any technical or developmental issues. They even humorously noted that this delay would "give players' backlogs some breathing room." Fans can still look forward to seeing more of Avowed during a livestream reveal scheduled for August 23, 2024.
