Avowed is still worth playing in 2026: 6 fantasy RPGs to try next
en.softonic.com • • technology
Key Points:
- Obsidian Entertainment’s fantasy RPG Avowed launched on Windows and Xbox Series X/S in February 2025 and later on PlayStation 5 in February 2026, receiving generally favorable reviews for its writing, worldbuilding, combat flexibility, and focused zone design.
- Despite recent speculation that a sequel might not happen, the game was not a commercial failure, and the hesitation around a follow-up appears linked to internal restructuring at Microsoft Gaming rather than the game's performance.
- Early development of an Avowed sequel reportedly began in 2026 but was put on hold due to layoffs, with the original Avowed team being reassigned to work on a Fallout project.
