According to the Xbox app, Avowed Early Access begins on Feb. 13, 2025, at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST/6 p.m. GMT. It’ll be available to play on PC and Xbox Series X|S, as long you already bought the Premium Edition.

Once Avowed Early Access commences, you’ll embark on a journey to the Living Lands, a breathtaking realm tainted by a devastating plague. It’s your mission to unearth the roots of this darkness using the game’s innovative combat system. Unlike many RPGs that confine you to a single class, this game empowers you to wield a diverse range of powers. You can brandish a traditional sword in one hand while the other wields a magical grimoire or experiment with a variety of other weapons.

Having had the privilege of a sneak peek during my Avowed preview, I can attest that it’s a spectacle to behold. The sheer number of possibilities in both your defense and offense strategies is unlike anything I’ve seen before. So, if you’re eager to experience it for yourself, get ready for its Early Access launch this week.
