Avowed is dodging one of the games industry’s biggest sinkholes—and we couldn’t be more relieved

Obsidian has confirmed that its upcoming RPG, Avowed, will not be an open-world title. While some may feel this is a poor choice of action, it might just be the formula needed for the game to succeed as a memorable exponent of the genre.

Though we knew for a while, or at least could guess, that Avowed won’t be an open world title, we recently received confirmation via Xbox Wire, where some of the games devs explained this route and how going for “zones” was much better for pacing and other aspects of game design.
