![]() The Living Lands is described as a "plagued, wild island" set in the fantasy-world of Eora – a realm underpinned by adventure, choice, and consequence. "I'm overjoyed to learn that Avowed being built with recognition that time is our most valuable resource" It's fully up to players how much time they want to spend in the Living Lands." "You can invest in discovering every nook-and-cranny in the world, discovering every secret, finding every side-quest, meeting every character – or you can have a much more focused experience. Obsidian says it's building enough distraction into Avowed that your investment can scale from there, but I'm overjoyed to learn that it's being built with recognition that time is our most valuable resource. Would Obsidian feel pressure to build a bigger playground than it ever has before, or a need to challenge the titans of the fantasy-RPG genre? The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are excellent open-world games, but so large that I'm not entirely convinced that they have scripted endings – at this point, I'm too afraid to ask. Microsoft Gaming does, after all, have a point to prove this generation. Offsetting that excitement has been this tinge of trepidation. Beloved for its work on Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas, and The Outer Worlds, there's real electricity to the idea of Obsidian working on an Xbox Series X exclusive RPG – and receiving all of the first-party funding and support that comes with such an ambitious endeavour. It's the first AAA RPG from the genre-masters at Obsidian Entertainment, following its acquisition into the Xbox Game Studios fold in 2018. Up until the Xbox Games Showcase, you could say that I've always been a little Avowed curious.
