Avowed has more than ten different endings, Obsidian claims
Avowed has more than ten different endings, according to developer Obsidian.
Speaking to IGN, when asked about the number of potential endings for the upcoming Xbox RPG, director Carrie Patel said, “That’s very hard to say.”
They added: “I can tell you our ending slides number in the double digits, you can end up with a lot of different combinations of them.”
These ending slides likely refer to the post-game still images with context that tells the player what happened to both them and the characters they have met along their journey, a common ending technique for RPGs wherein it would be prohibitively expensive to animate several permutations of an ending.
“Your ending really is the sum total of your choices across the game,” Patel later added.
Originally scheduled for later this year, Avowed will now be released in 2025. Xbox had planned a 2024 release for the game, with a blog post by developer Obsidian seemingly (accidentally) confirming a November 12 release before it was removed.
However, a message posted by the official Xbox account on X has confirmed that the game will now be released on February 18, 2025.
Avowed was announced in July 2020 as a first-person fantasy action RPG set in the world of Eora, which was originally introduced in Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity series. Patel says the game will be similar in length to Obsidian’s previous game The Outer Worlds.
