Tom Warren reporting Avowed to be delayed to early 2025

[John Elden Ring]

Update:​

Avowed officially delayed to February 18, 2025​

​

Tom Warren reports that Avowed is getting a slight delay to early 2025."I understand Avowed is in good shape, this is more a matter of wanting to give the game breathing room outside of a very busy period for Xbox Game Pass."

It's crazy how Xbox was supposedly poised to dominate this year in terms of content. Just like any other year, they are significantly behind yet again. They have only really shipped Hellblade 2, which isn't even a AAA game. We are in August now, that is abysmal.

Saw it coming when jez was talking about crowded release schedules earlier this week lol

it's gonna flop anyway

2025 will be an INSANE year for xbox amiright

like every year? right?

This game looks like it should be delayed for at least another year.

The future is Xbox, because the games are never in the present.

Shit management lying to their customers with known lies. At some stage you'd imagine they'd release something without drama or severe delays even by accident. A stopped clock is at least right twice a day.

it should be cancelled, it doesn't stand out from the crowd. it looks like a game from a mid tier AA studio, not a first party.

It's funny how Sony will end up with more exclusives than Microsoft this year.

 

[Hezekiah]

What a surprise. I guess Indy will be rushed out hot then.

I can't believe they will ship a game with these PS3 gen graphics.
So a delay can do good to it.

Actually a year delay like happened with Halo can bring nice things to the game.

Honestly, its probably for the best with Indy coming out in the fall. What genius's idea was it to slot them both there in the first place?

But is it though? They have went the entire year with almost no major releases.

Gaming industry is a mess right now. Only astrobot can save us.

Shit though it might be, they treated Hellblade like a major release for most of its dev cycle. And the fact that their releases are so rare isn't a reason to bunch them up, its a reason to spread them better.

Jizz is defending his fellow Microsoft shill lol

Because that's what it is. Obsidian might've grown in recent years, but they've been juggling more projects instead of everyone at that studio working on a single supremely expensive triple A RPG.

Didn't help Halo though....

Honestly, its probably for the best with Indy coming out in the fall.

IF Indy isn't delayed too...

There's no reason to think it will be, at this point. They'll really be in deep shit if it is, though. Its not like Sony is coming in with any massive guns and Nintendo is bringing, what, Mario and Luigi?, but they better have something other than non-exclusive CoD.
