  • This is why Sony was making such a big deal about Call of Duty during the discussions about Microsoft acquiring Activision (owners of the Call of Duty franchise).

    Bullet points:

    • Avowed had a co-op focus early in development, now changed to a traditional Obsidian singleplayer RPG
    • Avowed is Obsidian’s version of what a fantasy first-person RPG is
    • Finding the right balance between taking things from Pillars of Eternity and yet creating a new game that is more approachable for a larger audience
    • “With Avowed, wee focus on unique bespoke content, deep systems and incredible storytelling that’s focused on characters, societies and factions”
    • “Avowed is the natural extension of all the things we care about as a studio, of all the things we are great at.”
    • Obsidian showed Avowed to Microsoft as early as part of the acquisition process
