Avowed - Pillars of Eternity meets Skyrim?

Hello, my name is ColdBeer and I decided to make a quick video about the fact that Obsidian Entertainment recently announced a new fantasy RPG game called Avowed destined for Xbox Series X and Windows. Again, no love for PlayStation 5. Avowed takes place in Eora, the setting of Obsidian’s game Pillars of Eternity.

Although this time instead of old-school isometric perspective we have first person real time gameplay very similar to Skyrim. In the past Obsidian made Fallout New Vegas and then put all their experience in making The Outer Worlds - the most similar game to modern Fallout there is.

So, Bethesda, by allowing Obsidian to create Fallout New Vegas grew a powerful rival that decided to play in the same field as the giant of the industry. Well, to be fair Obsidian now belongs to Microsoft, even bigger giant, but they have a freedom of choice.

So far. Although for now only this trailer exists and no other information is given, we can already see similarities to Skyrim's spellcasting just in a very different and way more impressive way. Compare this to this. New way is way more cool. And what is that? A Balrog? By the way, if you liked Obsidian game The Outer Worlds, mark 9th of September on your calendars because expansion named Peril on Gorgon will be released that day, so I leave you with it's trailer now.
