If you were wondering how long it would take for you to complete Obsidians upcoming RPG Avowed, we've got an answer, kind of.
Speaking to Game Informer Avowed's game director Carrie Patel dropped a lot of details about the game. It's a great interview that I recommend everyone check out. But one thing they stuck out was the games length. On the topic Carrie had this to say:
"The best comparison for Avowed in terms of scope is The Outer Worlds. Players can expect a roughly similar experience, just like The Outer Worlds, depending on what kind of difficulty they play on, and how thoroughly they explore and invest inside content, versus just sticking to the main crit path missions."
Based on what Carrie is saying here it seems to be that Avowed will clock in at around 15-30+ hours depending on your play style with the low end likely being someone playing on easy and rushing the story.
Considering these days the RPG genre is all about making these massive, expansive games I actually think this is a bit refreshing. I've previously spoken about the desire for a balance of both shorter and longer games and this decision makes it more likely for myself that I will play Avowed.
Of course some will be disappointed as they want a longer game and I understand that, but I think ultimately what matters is that the game is good. How do you feel about the length of Avowed? Let us know below.
