Avowed is the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment – the developers behind Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Pillars of Eternity. The game has similarities to Skyrim, in that players can engage in first-person combat using swords, spells, and shields. 

Alongside the confirmed February 18 release date, the developers have also revealed details about Avowed’s editions. So, if you’re looking to see what the Standard and Premium editions include, or just want to know about the game’s pre-order bonus, then we have you covered.
