What Is Avowed?

Avowed transports players to the Living Lands, an island within the world of Eora, familiar to fans of the Pillars of Eternity series. No prior knowledge of the series is necessary, however. As a character investigating a spreading plague, you'll navigate a monster-infested landscape, using a mix of magical spells, swords, and guns to fend off threats. Along the way, you'll gather companions and face numerous choices that will shape your journey. For a deeper look, check out our overwhelmingly positive hands-on preview of Avowed.
