Avowedis the highly anticipated fantasy RPG byThe Outer Worldsdeveloper Obsidian Entertainment currently slated for release sometime in the second half of 2024. Set in the same universe as the developer’sPillars of Eternityseries,Avowedsees players traveling to the Living Landswhere they have been tasked with investigating a mysterious plague that has spread throughout the realm. While there, players will discover their character’s personal connection to the Living Lands, recruiting companions and learning new skills along the way. While Obsidian has already been generous with the amount of content it has revealed forAvowedso far, it seems fans may be in store for even more on June 9, according to recent reports.
Fans ofAvowedwill want to mark Jun 03, 2025, on their calendars, with reports suggesting the fantasy action RPG could be featured in some way following the Xbox Games Showcase that occurs the same day. This wouldn’t be the first timeAvowedhas been featured during an Xbox event, as a deep dive into its gameplay was revealed during January’s Xbox Developer Direct. However, it’s possible the upcoming showcase could include an even more extensive look atAvowed, though that has yet to be confirmed. WithAvowed’s release still likely months away, there is plenty that fans could see duringAvowed’s reported showcase during or following June’s Xbox Games Showcase.
What Avowed’s Reported June 9 Reveal Could Include
Fans Could See More of Avowed’s Gameplay on June 9
While it has yet to be confirmed, it’s possible fans could see more ofAvowed’s gameplay during its reported showcase on June 9. This is something that has been highly requested since its initial reveal during January’s Xbox Developer Direct, especially after a lackluster reception. Unfortunately, the Xbox Developer Direct showcase forAvowedleft many viewers feeling skeptical about the quality of the game’s combat. However, Obsidian responded by assuring fans that it would improveAvowed’s combataccording to feedback, so June 9 might be the best time for the developer to show off those improvements and build hype for the game.
Furthermore, June 9 could also be a chance for Obisidian to divulge more details aboutAvowed’s character creation, skills trees, and open-world exploration — all of which were largely excluded during the game’s first big reveal. So far, Obsidian hasn’t shied away from disclosing information aboutAvowed’s combat system, companions, and narrative-driven gameplay, so to reveal more about the game’s more intricate mechanics on June 9 might be a huge step forward for it.
Avowed’s reported placement in the Xbox Game showcase doesn’t seem to show much promise for extensive gameplay footage, so it could be an underwhelming experience for fans with unbridled expectations.
Avowed’s Reported Reveal Could Be Purely Cinematic
SinceAvowedis reportedly not going to be featured in the Xbox Games Showcase itself but only following it, it’s possible the next reveal for Obsidian’s fantasy RPG could be purely cinematic. Since some fans will likely be expecting to see more ofAvowed’s gameplay, this could be a bit of a letdown. Still, a cinematic trailer forAvowedcould provide some much-needed context for its story, characters, and world that its Xbox Developer Direct reveal didn’t delve into. Arguably, a cinematic trailer is almost just as necessary as another gameplay reveal, as the critical details ofAvowed’s overarching narrative are still largely a mystery.
WhetherAvowed’s reported June 9 presence ends up being another look at its gameplay or a brand-new cinematic introduction to its story, those looking forward to its release should mark the date on their calendars nonetheless. Anything more from Obsidian about itsPillars of Eternitysuccessor at this point is a plus, especially asAvowed’s release windowis quickly approaching.
