The director of Obsidian's next RPG, Avowed, has revealed that the team is still working on the game's combat and that things have changed since we last saw the game during the Xbox Developer Direct showcase last month.
Carrie Patel, the director of Avowed, has appeared on the Dropped Frames podcast to offer insight into the upcoming game's development, more specifically, how the team is responding to community feedback, such as the game's combat that is still evolving ahead of its release.
During the Xbox event, we saw Avowed's polished combat , leading fans to compare it to a certain Bethesda RPG.
Not long after this, Patel addressed the Skyrim comparisons and revealed that the upcoming action RPG is more like Obsidian's "fantasy take on The Outer Worlds" instead.
The director then goes on to explain how the footage we saw during the Developer Direct is actually "a few weeks behind" where the team is currently, in terms of its development.
"It's kind of nice to always say like 'yep, they saw it, we know it, trust us, we're working on it," Patel continues.
In case you were wondering, Obsidian has revealed that Avowed is set in Pillars of Eternity's world , but you don't need to have played the studio's older CRPG first. »
