Xbox’s Developer Direct 2024 wowed us last night, not least of all because we finally got to see just how amazing Indy looks in the upcoming MachineGames game. However, for some of us here at GAMINGbible, we were excited to see a special RPG has to offer.
From the developers of everyone’s favouriteFalloutgame,Fallout: New Vegas, comesAvowed. We’ve known it’s been in the works for sometime, but seeingObsidian Entertainmentgive us a more in-depth view really solidified our excitement for this game.
Don’t forget to watch theAvowedoverview!
What is more, it shows that the devs are eager to address one ofSkyrim’s biggest faults, a sentence I dislike writing but one that’s true nonetheless. As much as we all heraldBethesda’sSkyrimas one of the greats, its combat was too hack n’ slash for my liking, and many other fans’ as well.

Avowedlooks set to change that, offering a “flexible combat system” allowing you to make quick decisions to “quickly swap from spellcasting and sharpshooting to melee combat”. Doesn’t that sound perfect?
“It’s not just hacking and slashing,” promised the devs, “you’re making real-time decisions about when to use your abilities, powerful melee attacks, blocks, parries, and special attacks.” It’ll give players a more hands-on, authentic feel to the action they face, with its first-person perspective only adding to the sense of control we’ll feel.
And us gamers are in need of something to ignite our imagination similar to The Elder Scrolls, withAvowedseeming to be the game to do it.
