Other major updates:
- Three streamlined eras – Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern.
- Crisis events – End-of-era challenges that force players to rethink their strategies.

Avowed – February 18
Still waiting for The Elder Scrolls VI? Avowed might scratch that itch.
Developed by Obsidian (the team behind Fallout: New Vegas and The Outer Worlds), this first-person RPG is set in the mystical Living Lands—a region full of secrets, conflicts, and a deadly plague called the Dream Scourge.
What makes Avowed different?
- Magic & melee combat – Pick your playstyle.
- Large open zones – Not fully open-world, but big enough to explore.
- Deep storytelling – Classic Obsidian-style choices that shape the world around you.
If you love immersive RPGs with strong narratives, Avowed should be on your radar.

Expect:
