- Obsidian still have "the same DNA" that went into New Vegas and KOTOR 2, The Outer Worlds 2 director insists, following chatter around layoffs - 13 July 2026
Last week, Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 developers Obsidian lost around quarter of their staff to Microsoft's mass layoffs. The studio were subsequently reported to be pivoting to start work on a new Fallout game helmed by New Vegas director Josh Sawyer, with a sequel to Avowed all but canned in the process. Cue, naturally, people like me discussing what sort of game the shift towards a new Fallout all these years after New Vegas could result in, and also some voices declaring that Obsidian just aren't as good as they used to be. Outer Worlds 2 director Brandon Adler, naturally, disagrees with the latter group of loudmouths. Read more

Three new character races are on offer alongside the established humans and elves, and you can arm them with a quarterstaff which caters to mages who think puny wands and books aren't quite showy enough.

- Avowed (PS5) Review - 17 February 2026
Avowed’s release on PlayStation 5 Pro doesn’t feel like a victory lap second release, but more like a director’s cut. This isn’t Obsidian returning with a splashy expansion or a dramatic new chapter in Eora’s history. Instead, the PS5 release is bundled with the Anniversary Update, a bigger refresh to what is already there, adding in more immersion options along with a host of other additions to systems, not content. It’s a confident, practical update that understands where Avowed shines, where it stumbled at launch, and what kind of game it actually wants to be long-term. That really matters because Avowed has always been a game that leaned into immersion and living in the world. It’s an RPG built around flexible combat and the freedom to approach encounters your own way. The Anniversary Update leans directly into that. There are no new quests, no additional story beats, and no attempt…

Avowed won't be getting the final update devs Obsidian had planned for this year. Instead the studio have opted to save putting out the new game plus mode they'd planned for this autumn for a big update to make the RPG 's first birthday in February. To make up the extra wait, the anniversary update'll be adding some mystery extra bits alongside the already announced features. The autumn patch was originally set to be the third update delivered to the nature-rific blunderbuss adventure this year. The last one to arrive was the summer update , which aimed to round out the fighting skills of non-magic users so that wizards weren't having all of the fun. Read more
