What Is Avowed?

Avowed is a first-person action-RPG set in 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 required, though. As a player, you'll embark on a quest to investigate a spreading plague. The game world is fraught with dangers, from monstrous creatures to challenging choices. You'll wield magic, swords, and guns, and gather companions to aid in your journey.
