Obsidian Entertainment celebrates Avowed's first anniversary with a major update and PlayStation 5 launch, bringing the first-person RPG to a wider audience. The anniversary update, available now for all platforms, includes community-requested features, quality-of-life improvements, and new content designed to enhance the player experience in the Living Lands.

The update introduces three new playable races: Dwarves, Orlans, and Aumauan, expanding character creation options beyond the original human and elf choices. Players can now customize their envoy with these distinct races, each offering unique physical characteristics and backgrounds. The Dwarves bring stout and well-traveled traits, while Orlans feature two-toned skin and distinctive ears, and Aumauan offer large, uniquely strong characteristics.

With the PS5 port launching alongside the anniversary update, Avowed reaches new players while rewarding existing fans with substantial improvements. The timing allows PlayStation players to jump in with all the updates from the past year already implemented, making this an ideal entry point for newcomers to explore the game's fantasy world and rich storytelling.
