Obsidian Entertainment’s first-person RPG, Avowed, launched on February 18 on Xbox Series X/S and PC. Today, Obsidian pulls back the curtains on its plans for Avowed for the rest of 2025. The team has released an update today that adds an Arachnophobia Safe Mode, Fog of War improvements, unique gear improvements, and more.
This Summer, Obsidian will release an update that features cooking and crafting improvements, new NPC abilities and behaviors, additional active and passive abilities, more unique weapons and armor, and custom map markers. Then, this Fall, an update will bring to Avowed a highly requested New Game Plus mode, Photo Mode, a new weapon type, the ability to change your appearance in the wild, new character presets, and more Godlike feature presets.
“We want to take a moment to thank you for your continued reports, feedback, and suggestions,” a blog post from Obsidian reads. “Your insights help shape Avowed, and we’re incredibly grateful for the time you’ve taken to share your experiences with us. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.”
Alongside today’s roadmap, here’s a breakdown of everything live in the Spring (1.4) update:
- Arachnophobia Mode
- Map Exploration enhancements
- Critter Loot Drops
- New Party Camp Feature
- Improved Soul Pod Functionality
- New Settings Options
Obsidian says this only scratches the surface of everything in Update 1.4, so be sure to head into the Living Lands today for a complete look at what it adds to the game.
