Avowed's Rumored Development Status Could Shed Light on Fable

gamerant.com:

Xbox Game Studios have a lot of titles without release windows right now. Aside from the Perfect Dark reboot and The Outer Worlds 2, there's also Avowed on the way from Obsidian Entertainment. Since Outer Worlds 2 is an Obsidian project, as is the Early Access title Grounded, it's no surprise that Avowed has avoided the spotlight so far. Even so, it seems some information about Avowed may have made its way out thanks to a reputable insider who claims to have seen Avowed's recent progress.

Windows Central editor Jez Corden recently claimed that he has seen Avowed's progress and expects the game to release sometime in the first half of 2023. That's big news for fans eager to see Obsidian's newest fantasy RPG, but it's also important because of Microsoft's other upcoming RPGs. Playground Games' Fable revival doesn't have a release date either, and for some time now it's been unclear how Fable and Avowed will accommodate one another. If Corden's guess about Avowed's release window is accurate, fans may have a better sense of when Fable might come out.

Avowed's Biggest Competition May Be Starfield, Not The Elder Scrolls 6

In a YouTube interview, Corden claimed that he saw a functional build ofAvowed sometime around May 2021. Corden says he got a good look atAvowed's combat and magic system in the build, which makes it sound like Obsidian has already made a lot of progress. Because Avowed's status was strong in the middle of last year, Corden expects more news about the game to start coming out in 2022, leading up to a release in early 2023. That window is just an educated guess, but it sounds plausible since Starfield would probably like to keep the attention of Xbox users for a couple of months after Bethesda releases it in
