According to Chris Avellone, a former writer at developer Obsidian Entertainment, it was said that the studio is currently planning a sequel to Avowed. Released back in February, Avowed was more or less a hit with critics, as it sported an 80/100 aggregate rating on Metacritic. However, players were a bit more mixed on the RPG, which resulted in it getting a 6.8/10 rating on the site. While Avowed wasn’t considered outright bad by any means, many found it to be lackluster in one way or another.
In a post on social media recently, Avellone asserted that Obsidian will be making Avowed 2 in the future. While details are still slim, he also added that the developer won’t look to create The Outer Worlds 3. For now, Xbox and Obsidian themselves haven’t confirmed this information, but given that Avellone used to work at the company, it’s likely that he has ties to those who would know what’s going on behind the scenes.
When Would This Xbox Sequel Release?
Assuming that Avowed 2 is very much in the works, it’s likely that we won’t see it for a pretty long time. Based on the studio’s history, a release date in 2030 or 2031 for Avowed 2 seems most likely, as this gap is similar to what was seen between The Outer Worlds and The Outer Worlds 2. As such, plans could change in the coming years that would result in Avowed 2 getting scrapped. Essentially, don’t get too excited about this potential game just yet.
