Gameplay Director Gabe Paramo discussed not only how varied your weaponry will be \u2013 with melee weapons, ranged guns and bows, and magic-based wands (even dual-wielded wands!) to name a few \u2013 but how flexible combat can be, allowing you to quickly change loadouts for enemy encounters. Swappable loadouts mean you can approach combat however feels right to you.<\/p>\n<p>Art Director Matt Hansen then explained how the Living Lands is a mysterious island made up of wildly varied regions offering visually diverse backdrops and intriguing settings to explore. With secrets hidden throughout the regions, you\u2019ll take in barren deserts, verdant forests, blighted wastes, volcanic biomes, and more.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all for <em>Avowed<\/em>, however \u2013 make sure to tune in to the Xbox Podcast on Monday, January 22 for an exclusive interview with some of Obsidian\u2019s developers, offering even more information on the gameplay reveal.<\/p>\n<p>Get ready to carve your own path through <em>Avowed <\/em>when it launches this fall for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Cloud \u2013 and arrives with Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on day one.
