Are you sitting down? Good. Avowed is reportedly set to be delayed into early 2025, but if it’s any consolation, the main reason being cited for the apparent pushback is a desire to give the RPG more “breathing room” release-wise, by pushing it out of a busy window for Xbox Game Pass.
This is according to The Verge, which writes that Obsidian’s big fantasy thing is “in good shape”. So why would it be delayed? Well, a contributing factor looks to be another recent delay to a game slated to hit Microsoft’s subscription service.
In the newsletter which mentions this apparent delay, Tom Warren cites Xbox as feeling that its Game Pass offerings heading into the holidays that’ll see 2024 turn to 2025 are pretty set without having to throw Avowed into the mix and seemigly risk limiting its potential to catch on big time.
