Although it wasn’t talked about throughout the Xbox Games Showcase, the developer seems to have accidentally revealed exactly when Avowed is out.
As with any modern games event the PlayStation State of Play, Summer Game Fest, and Xbox Games Showcase were subject to numerous rumours, most of which turned out to be true. Although that wasn’t too surprising as some of them were spoiled by the companies themselves.
2K accidentally revealed Civilization 7 before it was supposed to, Slitterhead got its trailer posted early, and now Obsidian appears to have confirmed the exactly release date of Avowed – which at the time was only given a vague timeframe of sometime this year.
According to a reference in one of their own blog posts, Avowed is going to be out on November 12. The confirmation seems to have been a mistake though, as it was then quickly edited out of the blog.
It’s not clear why anyone is being secretive about the date, especially if it has been decided upon, but Avowed has had curiously little promotion ever since its announcement.
It will be featured during the Xbox podcast tonight but there’s going to be watched by far less people than the showcase and you really would’ve thought, since it’s out this year, that it would’ve been featured more prominently.
Perhaps the release date isn’t actually a definite but if it is announced during the podcast, and it is November, that will be strange.
Very weird. They immediately removed the Avowed release date after I posted this. Before and after pics attached. pic.twitter.com/vfH9QVlwzo
