Hey everyone! I've got some interesting news for those of you who've been waiting to dive into Avowed. This RPG, previously an Xbox exclusive, is officially making its way to PlayStation 5. Mark your calendars for February 17th, 2026 – that's exactly one year after its initial release on Xbox Series S/X and PC (February 18th, 2025, but who's counting a single day, right?).

So, what does this year-long wait mean for PS5 players? Well, it's not just a simple port. The developers have been busy implementing a ton of improvements and additions to the game. For example, they've reworked and expanded the Ranger and Fighter skill trees, offering more depth and customization. If you're like me and love replaying games, you'll be happy to know that a New Game Plus mode is included. Also, a Photo Mode will let you capture those epic moments.

But the biggest change? You can now play as something other than a human! That's right, you'll get to choose between the hulking Amauan, the cute and fuzzy Orlan, or the sturdy Dwarves. Honestly, I'm a little jealous! I would have loved to experience the game as an Orlan during my first playthrough.

Of course, it's not just about the big additions. The developers have also been working hard to polish the overall experience. Expect a bunch of bug fixes, tweaks to items and gear, and other small improvements that add up to a more refined game. All these enhancements will also be available on PC and Xbox, which is great news for everyone.

While Avowed might have a slightly old-school vibe, I found it to be a really enjoyable experience. If you can look past that, you'll discover a fun adventure with inventive mechanics and a genuinely charming approach to fantasy. The game world is vibrant, colorful, and full of wonder, making it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a solid RPG to sink their teeth into on their PlayStation 5.
