It focuses on the pursuit of the main character to stop an epidemic in the living lands. They uncover many secrets and mysteries on their journey.

Feargus Urquhart, the CEO of Obsidian Games, said in a conversation with PC Gamer, “We could go off and create an 8km x 8km open world and then deal with all the consequences of that—because that makes it a different style game.” Urquhart added, “But we want to tell more confined stories that the player can experience with their companions, and then move from part of the world to part of the world.”

Along with that, Carrie Patel, the director of Avowed, also said, “One thing we wanted to do with Avowed was make sure the companions felt really integral to the story.” Patel added, “In some games, they’re optionally recruitable, but in Avowed they’re deeply tied to the story, tied to your party… we really wanted to create this sense that you’re in this big wild frontier, you’re going on this adventure of discovery, and you have this small but tight-knit crew with you.”
