Avowed is set in the Living Lands, an island in the world of Eora, familiar to fans of the Pillars of Eternity series. No prior knowledge is needed to enjoy the game, though. You step into the shoes of a character tasked with investigating a spreading plague. The Living Lands are teeming with monsters, which you'll battle using magical spells, swords, and even firearms. Along the way, you'll gather companions and make crucial decisions. For more insights, check out our overwhelmingly positive hands-on preview of Avowed.
