If you're a fan of *Avowed*, the highly anticipated fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, you've likely been keeping tabs on the latest developments. Recently, the studio unveiled their 2025 post-launch roadmap, alongside patch notes for the eagerly awaited 1.4 update. These details were shared on the official Obsidian website, giving players a glimpse into the game's evolving journey.
While the 1.4 update brings welcome additions, such as the Arachnophobia mode for those who prefer their spiders more subtle and tweaks to map exploration, the real excitement lies in the roadmap ahead. Obsidian has mapped out three major updates for *Avowed* this year, with the first already live and loaded with enhancements. These include mouse and keyboard support on Xbox, more crafting materials, gear adjustments, and the introduction of a new party camp feature. For those still pondering whether to dive into the world of Eora, the summer update promises even more, including cooking and crafting upgrades, fresh NPC interactions, and a slew of new weapons and armor. The cherry on top? Custom map markers to help you navigate with ease.
As the year winds down, the fall update is set to deliver some of the most-requested features yet—new game plus and photo mode. This update is shaping up to be the biggest yet, featuring a brand-new weapon type, the ability to change appearances in-world, expanded character presets, and more. Obsidian also addressed the呼声 for language support, promising localized versions for Korean and Japanese, along with ongoing improvements for French.
For those seeking the ultimate gaming experience, Obsidian recommends playing *Avowed* on PC with BlueStacks. This setup offers smoother gameplay, a larger screen, and the precision of a keyboard and mouse—essentially leveling up your entire gaming rig.
