Some leaked info
Avowed First Details Leaked
fully open world, much much larger than
Skyrim (very differently “larger”, more proper word would be “denser” and “more contrasted” at the same time)
primarily set in the The Living Lands region of Eora (not sure if it’ll go like that as explicit later on, but that was starting point)
big focus on world-reactivity, lighting and next-gen AI systems and physics (special focus on physics with magic systems – have no clue what would that mean)
real-time weather system (don’t have full details but fog is very important as realtime element, rivers will have specific micro physics systems regarding this)
very advanced character creation tool (didn’t get more info)
mod support (for now PC is/will be very dominant as creation tool, but I’ll be playable fully on Xbox)
very large number of fractions but very different approach than with Skyrim
you’ll be able to have companions (different than Outer Worlds)
storyset: fight against incoming threat of tyranny (independent from previous stories)
game has bosses planned and some of them are very very large
Gods will have special say in the game
great focus on iconic landmarks, statues and buildings
two large cities planned with many smaller ones with strong focus on contrasting wild-areas, rivers, mountains and desolated areas (yes, you’ll be able to swim)
fully respecting POE creatures lore with new additions
dynamic presentation of dialogue
for now idea is to keep “you can kill everyone in the game” option
around 100 people are on the project for 2y (smaller number for 7m of preproduction), in total 2y 7m
full production is already a thing
team will still grow
target date: late 2022/early 2023
