But the game itself is in “good shape”, apparently
The report in question is from The Verge’s Tom Warren - as sturdy a source as they come. Writing on hisNotepad blog(paywall), Warren claimed that Avowed is in “good shape”, and that the delay is “more a matter of wanting to give the game breathing room during a very busy period for Xbox Game Pass”.
As with all current fantasy RPGs, it must also reckon with (perhaps unfair) expectations created by last year’sBaldur’s Gate 3, whose spell and ability combos knock what I’ve seen of Avowed’s combat alchemy into a cocked hat. I do like the looks of the game, but I’m not exhilarated.
