A new report suggests that Xbox and Obsidian are preparing to announce a delay forAvowedin an effort to move the upcoming RPG out of the way of Stalker 2.
That’s according to Tom Warren ofThe Verge(paywalled), who writes that withStalker 2 delayed to November, Xbox feels that its holiday offerings for Game Pass are looking pretty stacked. Avowed is “in good shape,” according to Warren, so the delay is more about giving the game “breathing room” outside of a busy release season for Game Pass.
Obsidian is following up on its excellent throwback CRPG series Pillars of Eternity with Avowed, but responses to the early gameplay showcases have been a bit tepid. Obsidian seems to have taken that feedback to heart, noting thatcombat improvements went way up the to-do list when feedback made clear that they were “a big deal.“Whatever the case, it’s looking likely that we’re going to have a bit longer to wait before we find out how Avowed turns out.
