Upcoming Obsidian RPG Avowed is “targeting 30 FPS,” according to the game’s art director.
Speaking on the Iron Lords podcast, art director Matt Hansen called 30 FPS the “bare-minimum” the team is aiming for.
“It’s a first-person, single-player game, you don’t necessarily need that 60 frames. And that allows us to get a lot juicier with VFX and lighting and all this other stuff,” Hansen said.
“It’s a trade-off we opted to make relatively early, and we’re really happy with that. The game’s running pretty smooth for how visually dense it is, and that was always our goal.”
Originally scheduled for later this year, Avowed will now be released in 2025. Xbox had planned a 2024 release for the game, with a blog post by developer Obsidian seemingly (accidentally) confirming a November 12 release before it was removed.
However, a message posted by the official Xbox account on X has confirmed that the game will now be released on February 18, 2025.
