Color me stunned and name me Barney, Avowed has been introduced for PS5. In truth, it’s coming fairly quickly.
Introduced in a brief video interview on the New Sport+ 2026 showcase, a brand new yearly occasion, Avowed will launch in February seventeenth on PS5 and PS5 Professional, round a yr after it first launched on Xbox and PC.
Because it has been a yr, the PS5 model will include all of the updates that Obsidian have put out, like reworked Ranger and Fighter talent bushes, a greater UI and extra.
However that’s not all, as a result of a serious replace will even be launched alongside the PS5 launch for all variations of the sport, including in new options reminiscent of New Sport+, the flexibility to play as non-human characters reminiscent of a hulking Amauan or a furry little Orlan. A third individual view can be being added into the combination.
Avowed landed with a muted thud a yr in the past. Preliminary critiques have been lukewarm and other people appeared ambivalent to its existence. I performed chunk of it by way of Sport Move and thought it was respectable earlier than different issues dragged me away, and I at all times meant to return. A PS5 launch ought to present excuse to try this, and I’m intrigued by the brand new options, though I don’t suppose they’ll be capable to fight the sport’s core flaws – characters and story.
