Games To Play While Waiting For Avowed

• Avowed, the upcoming RPG by Obsidian Entertainment, shows great potential to be an incredible first-person open-world game set to release in 2024.
• While waiting for Avowed, players can enjoy other RPG titles like Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, Fallout: New Vegas, and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
• The Outer Worlds is another notable RPG title by Obsidian Entertainment that can give players a taste of what Avowed might be like, with a sci-fi setting and interesting narrative choices.

Avowed is the next high-fantasy role-playing game set to be released by Obsidan Entertainment in 2024. This game shows great potential to be an incredible first-person open-world game. However, with the game claiming to release in Fall of this year, that still gives players several months to wait for the title to release on Xbox and PC.

Starting off strong, a great title to play while waiting for the release of Avowed is the equally enjoyable fantasy RPG Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen.

Fallout: New Vegas is likely the title that many players remember Obsidian Entertainment creating, with many wishing they would create another Fallout title for the series. This game is set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Las Vegas and created not only an incredible story but also a phenomenal world to explore.

The most suggested title players should be enjoying before the release of Avowed is the much-loved Pillars of Eternity franchise from Obsidian Entertainment, especially the first game of the series. Although this game plays significantly differently to how Avowed will play, the upcoming RPG takes place in the same world as Pillars of Eternity does.

Therefore, for those who want to further understand the lore of the world they will eventually be exploring, Pillars of Eternity is a great title to pick up and enjoy in the coming months.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

Unsurprisingly, players that are searching for a game to occupy their mind while waiting for Avowed to be released is the cult classic, Skyrim. This game is the very definition of a high fantasy setting filled with an assortment of fantasy races, an incredible world to explore, and plenty of quests to get involved in to keep the player occupied until Avowed eventually releases.

As seen from the trailers released of Avowed, Skyrim’s combat is arguably quite similar and, therefore, players may be able to practice their first-person sword swings and spellcasting before the title eventually releases in Fall of 2024.
