Avowed’s director hopes for an expansion or sequel

Avowed made a strong impression on both players and critics following its Feb. 18 launch this year.

The game received generally favorable reviews on Metacritic and earned a 9/10 in Destructoid’s Avowed review. With positive feedback on Steam as well, this fantasy RPG could see further expansion—if its game director’s hopes are any indication.

Carrie Patel, Avowed’s game director at Obsidian Entertainment, said the game’s future is not yet decided, but she wants to explore more of its world. “Now that we’ve built this wonderful world, and also built this team strength and muscle memory around the content and gameplay in this world, I’d love to see us do more with it,” Patel said in an interview with Bloomberg.

While this is not a confirmation of an Avowed DLC or sequel, it’s exciting news for fans eager for more. Obsidian’s team appears ready, only waiting for the green light to expand the game’s universe.

But The Outer World’s sequel could slow Avowed’ next chapter

However, Obsidian is also developing The Outer Worlds 2, scheduled for release in 2025. While it’s unclear how much crossover exists between the two development teams, it wouldn’t be surprising if Obsidian prioritizes The Outer Worlds 2’s launch before committing to more Avowed content.

Since its official reveal at The Game Awards in December 2024 for PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC, The Outer Worlds 2 has had no major development updates or new trailers. Destructoid has reached out to Obsidian for further comments on how the game’s development might impact Avowed’s near future.
