Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming action-RPG Avowed is set in the same universe as the studio's Pillars of Eternity games. This begs the question: when does Avowed take place on the Pillars of Eternity timeline?
Avowed takes place after both the original Pillars of Eternity and its sequel, Deadfire . We know this in part thanks to Avowed 's 2024 Gamescom gameplay preview. Player conversations with NPCs shown in the Gamescom preview frame Deadfire baddie Eothas' awakening (and everything that followed) as old news. As such, Avowed unfolds after Deadfire and, by extension, after Pillars of Eternity , too.
What does this mean, timeline-wise? It's hard to say. See, Obsidian still hasn't settled on a firm in-universe date for Avowed (not publicly, at least). All we know is that the action-RPG kicks off “a few years” after Deadfire ; director Carrie Patel said as much in a no-longer-available Game Informer interview. Supondo que isso equivale a dois ou três anos, a Avó ocorre sete ou oito anos após os pilares da eternidade (como canonicamente, há uma lacuna de cinco anos entre pilares e incêndio ).
For the Pillars of Eternity chronology buffs among you, this positions Avowed 's narrative somewhere between 2830-2831 AI.

Nope, Avowed is a standalone game. Carrie Patel confirmou isso em uma entrevista de 2024 Eurogamer, insistindo que os recém -chegados da franquia possam desfrutar de títulos anteriores dos pilares anteriores da eternidade primeiro.

"Os jogadores familiarizados com os jogos anteriores certamente reconhecerão alguns conceitos e até alguns personagens - certos eventos que viram ou ouviram falar nesses jogos antigos ocasionalmente surgirem em referências em declaração ", disse ela. “But we wanted to make sure that this was an experience that players having their first adventure in the world of Eora could jump right into. Portanto, essas referências existem para as pessoas que as vão buscá -las e apreciá -las, mas os jogadores que não estão familiarizados com elas patinam através delas. ”
Avowed is slated for release on Windows and Xbox Series X/S on Feb. 18, 2025.
