What Is Avowed?
Avowed is an immersive first-person action-RPG set in the Living Lands, an island within the world of Eora, familiar to fans of the Pillars of Eternity series. No prior knowledge of the series is required, though. You'll step into the shoes of a character tasked with investigating a spreading plague on the island. Navigate through monster-infested lands, using a mix of magical spells, swords, and guns to fend off enemies. Along your journey, you'll gather companions and face numerous choices that shape your adventure. For a deeper look, check out our overwhelmingly positive Avowed hands-on preview.
