Xbox has graciously alleviated some of the mounting pressure as we head into the final months of 2024, delaying Avowed until early next year. Avowed is now set to launch on February 18, 2025.

Though it's a shame that we'll have to wait a bit longer to play Obsidian Entertainment's action RPG, this does mean the already crowded fall line-up of games is a tad more manageable and easier on the wallet. Instead of Avowed competing against the likes of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Assassin's Creed Shadows this holiday season, it will launch during the (currently) sparser start of 2025.

In the announcement of the delay, Xbox teased that more details for games across the company's portfolio--including Activision, Blizzard, and Bethesda titles--will be revealed during gamescom. Avowed will also be the primary focus of Xbox's planned livestream for August 23, when we'll see more of the upcoming action RPG.
