A Knight of Decay: Xbox Brings Avowed’s Plague to London

A colossal statue of a decaying knight, his armor ravaged by time and adorned with unsettling, realistic mushrooms, has materialized in London. This striking installation, a creation of Xbox, serves as both a chilling artwork and a stark warning, mirroring the devastating Dreamscourge plaguing the world of Avowed. Accompanying posters advertising the game for Xbox Series X|S further immerse passersby in the game's grim atmosphere, transforming a commonplace street into a gateway to Avowed's universe.

Xbox has released a captivating behind-the-scenes video on YouTube, offering fans an intimate look at the creation of this unique promotional endeavor.

The game itself has garnered significant acclaim from Steam users, with an impressive 81% positive rating from Deluxe Edition players even before its official release. This overwhelmingly positive pre-launch reception sets a high benchmark for the Standard Edition's debut.

Veteran gaming journalist Jason Schreier expressed his strong approval of Avowed, highlighting its exceptional world design, compelling narrative, and engaging combat system. However, his praise centers particularly on the game's exploration:

"Avowed has completely captivated me. Obsidian's storytelling and combat are, as expected, superb, but the world design is truly remarkable. Every path leads somewhere, every rooftop is accessible, and there's always a hidden detail waiting to be discovered. Even after 40 hours, I'm still exploring."

Schreier also acknowledges a disparity between critical reception and player response, drawing a parallel to Fallout: New Vegas:

"Some of the reviews have surprised me. It mirrors the situation with Fallout: New Vegas—critics were divided, yet players elevated it to legendary status. Avowed might follow a similar path."

Given Fallout: New Vegas' initial Metacritic score of 83 and its subsequent rise to iconic RPG status, the question remains: could Avowed be destined for a similar ascent to RPG greatness?
