Summary
Developer Obsidian Entertainment recently released Update 1.31 forAvowed. The newAvowedupdate continues to improve the action RPG by fixing a few bugs and enhancing the overall experience.
Released in February,Avowedis the latest game developed by Obsidian. Set in the same universe as thePillars of Eternityfranchise,Avowedgenerally received positive reviews, and it currently holds an average critic score of 80 onOpenCritic. Recent reports have indicated that the RPG reached over 6 million players on platforms such as Steam and Game Pass, andObsidian seems to be happy withAvowed’s sales, indicating that the title could get more expansions or sequels in the future.
Avowedrecently received Update 1.31, which improves a few UI elements and addresses a handful of bugs that have plagued the RPG. Most notably, the patch also comes with a few “community requested features,” which include an option for “high contrast support” in some UI screens and a Native Anti-Aliasing option for FSR. Additionally, the new update will provide performance improvements on the Xbox Series X/S, improving the game when played on the Beauty and Balanced modes in larger cities.
Overall, this is a fairly simple patch, much smaller thanthe previousAvowedupdate. In Update 1.3.0, many bugs were corrected, and some significant tweaks were implemented. One of the most relevant changes after Update 1.3.0 is that gamers received an additional talent point every five levels, allowing for builds with a wider variety of options.
Unfortunately, none of these updates have brought features such as a New Game Plus toAvowed. Among its community, theNew Game Plus is one of the most asked-for features inAvowed, as some gamers believe that the endgame is somewhat lacking. The issue is that some players collect powerful items and have strong powers by the end of the journey, and feel that they cannot employ them against a wider variety of foes after the point of no return.
It’s still unknown ifAvowedwill ever feature a New Game Plus. However, Obsidian recently promised to unveilan official roadmap forAvowed’s future updates. According to the studio, the action RPG will still get more updates throughout 2025, and the roadmap will be revealed in the coming months. It’s not known if these updates will include only small tweaks and additions, or more substantial changes such as a paid expansion, though.
