Avowed’s open-zone locations will be ‘size comparable’ to The Outer Worlds’ larger areas
23.01.2024 - 11:39 / techradar.com / Carrie Patel / Will
Obsidian Entertainment’s next role-playing game, Avowed, is set to release some time this fall, and its director has just given a bit more of an idea of how large its world is going to be.
In a new interview with Xbox Wire, director Carrie Patel reiterated the fact that Avowed won’t be open-world, but instead open-zone, meaning that players will be able to explore the world of Eora via a series of connected areas. As for their size, those who’ve played Obsidian’s 2019 RPG The Outer Worlds will apparently be able to draw comparisons to its larger maps.
“It’s open-zone, size comparable to The Outer Worlds areas on the larger side, and [with] multiple paths essentially to tackle combat situations, or avoid them,” Patel said.
Patel also went on to teaseAvowed’s “secrets” which “not everybody's gonna find.” Clearly, there’s going to be plenty for thorough players to discover.
Fans were given a better look at Avowed and its combat systems during the Xbox Developer_Direct showcase last week. Notably, players will be able to utilize customizable loadouts which can be easily swapped to suit different battle situations. One shown during the stream revealed that you can even dual-wield wands to create a 'gunslinging mage' build, which seems like it'll be highly effective when it comes to dealing with crowds of enemies.
Also revealed during the Developer_Direct was the first footage of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle — MachineGames’ highly anticipated first-person Indiana Jonesaction-adventure game. Like Avowed, it’s set to release exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and PC, although we don’t have a release window for it yet beyond the promise of it arriving at some point this year.

More Avowed details: it's a classless RPG with easy respeccing and "open zones" comparable to Outer Worlds
Obsidian's Avowed is a game for the more indecisive or changeable RPG player, with no "enforced" classes and an emphasis on easily respeccing and experimenting with different combinations of weapons and abilities. Or at least, that's my overall takeaway from a new Xbox podcast interview featuring game director Carrie Patel and gameplay director Gabe Paramo. In the video, the pair delve a little deeper into last week's Xbox Developer Direct showcase and how the game compares to their previous Pillars of Eternity games, which are set in the same world.

All Azure Ingot locations in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
The majority of upgrades you get in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown come in the form of new moves, amulets, and traversal options. In terms of combat, you will essentially be relying on your sword and bow for the entire game, but that doesn’t mean you can’t improve them. As is the case with most games, you can’t simply improve your weapons for free, or even for basic currency. No, in order to upgrade your trusty blades to hit as hard as you want them to, you will need to find Azure Ingots to strengthen your tools of battle. These aren’t terribly rare, but you probably won’t come across nearly enough playing normally to fully power up your gear. Here are all Azure Ingot locations to give you an edge in combat.
