Avowed is a new IP from the big brains at Obsidian Entertainment. The ARPG is a diverse experience taking the best bits from action games and the depth of role-playing titles. It comes in a busy year for the company, so let’s check out Avowed’s release date, and where you can find the release.
Obsidian Entertainment is all hands on deck in 2025. The developer is preparing The Outer Worlds 2 sequel—another ARPG—whereas Avowed takes on a more magical feel. It’s fresh, looks exciting, and it’s the sort of magical fun the world needs. Spells, weapons, swords, and axes are part and parcel of this jaw-dropping, semi-open-world release.
There are big expectations, and rightly so, and we’re here to see what Obsidian is cooking up for launch.
When is Avowed’s Release Date?
Avowed launches on February 18, meaning the full release date is almost here.
February and March are always a competitive period for gaming. Companies are keen to capitalize on the quieter January and post-Xmas lull. If you check your calendar, you’ll notice Avowed is only a few days after Valentine’s Day, making it a perfect late present.

Avowed Release Time
Avowed doesn’t have a special launch time yet, meaning a midnight launch is likely.
Very few games come with unique launch windows. Avowed also looks to be heading this way—unless Obsidian intervenes and ruins my theory—so you can ready yourself for midnight in your region.
New Zealand users get their usual benefit of first access due to the time difference. Make sure to keep off of social media until Avowed is installed and ready to go on your format.
All Avowed Platforms
Xbox Series X|S and PC are the only platforms you can find Avowed for now.
Avowed is published by Xbox Game Studios, meaning it’s a Microsoft-exclusive title. So bizarre is the gaming landscape in 2025 that I wouldn’t rule out Avowed coming to PS5. Exclusivity means a lot less than it used to—with Sony publishing exclusive games on PC too—and the PlayStation and Xbox crossover is only getting stronger.
Reports are abound that Hellblade 2 and Gears of War are coming to PS5. There are rumors about Halo dropping too. If this is all possible, an Avowed PlayStation port doesn’t seem beyond the realms of possibility.
Does Avowed catch your eye in 2025? Or is it a standalone interest, is The Outer Worlds 2 also sending you to space? Let us know your thoughts on both games.

This trash gets made but the founder or Ninja Theory leaves and we never get a sequel to Kung Fu Chaos a game he wanted to make and should have! Fire Phil and Aaron already they’re beyond incompetent.
