Avowed Delayed to February 2025 to Give Players a Breather
In a strategic move that has certainly taken the gaming world by surprise, Obsidian Entertainment has announced a delay in the release of their highly anticipated open-world RPG, Avowed. Originally slated for an earlier launch, the game will now hit shelves—both digital and physical—on February 2025. The decision seems to stem from a desire to allow gamers some much-needed breathing room amid an ever-expanding game backlog.
Just as the holiday season promises to flood Game Pass with an array of titles, Avowed’s delay aims to spare players from the overwhelming rush of new releases, creating space for them to engage with the multitude of games already vying for their attention. According to sources, the delay isn’t a reflection of the game’s readiness, but rather a calculated effort to prioritize the player experience.
This move raises questions about the current trajectory of Xbox’s fall lineup, which has been described as somewhat nebulous. Alongside the uncertainty surrounding Avowed, fans are still left in the dark about the release date for the much-anticipated Indiana Jones game, leaving many to speculate on the company’s strategy in a crowded gaming landscape.
As we await further clarity on these upcoming titles, one thing is for certain: when Avowed finally arrives in February 2025, it promises to deliver an immersive experience that just might be worth the wait. For now, gamers can take a deep breath and tackle that mounting backlog, knowing that great adventures lie just around the corner.
