Avowed Dev Responds "It Is Nothing Like" to the Similarity to The Outer Worlds

Avowed, the new project from Obsidian is already raising concerns after its debut trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase 2023. Set in an RPG Universe, Avowed has issues that upset the players about its creative outlook. The developer team from Obsidian has responded to the fans' concerns regarding this game, which is still in its pre-alpha state. They have confirmed further developments in the game to enhance its quality for a better gaming experience.

On a forum called RPG Codex, an Obsidian developer, Briar Diem answered concerns from the community about the game's presentation and visuals. He confirmed that Avowed is still in its early development stage. He mentioned that the game should not be compared to Outer World because of the differences in the games – "The trailer fails to show much in its 2-minute run time. To clear up misconceptions though I’ll say this, the game is big and open, it is unfair to compare it to OW (I think Feargus is trying to keep expectations down just in case), which I think it is nothing alike."

He also mentioned that "The studio that did the trailer did some compression of colors and image editing, the screenshots that have been released are much more representative of what it looks like just running through it". Feargus Urquhart, the CEO of Obsidian also explained the different storytelling approach in Avowed that will give the players a totally different RPG experience.

The developers recommended to wait for the full presentation because the trailer features random shots from the game, which is too early to make conclusions. They advised to pay attention to the screenshots because they better convey the mood of Avowed.
