Obsidian Entertainment hasn't confirmed what it's cooking up next - apart from The Outer Worlds 2 later this year- but Avowed's director is keen to see the fantasy RPG's world continue.

Avowed properly released earlier this week to wide praise and took the Pillars of Eternity universe first-person. GamesRadar's Avowed review was similarly glowing, as is the general fan response, and the studio itself reportedly told Bloomberg it's happy with the game's financial performance so far. The groundwork for a sequel has been laid, and it seems the developers themselves have an appetite to carry on as well.

Whatever comes next for her and the Avowed team likely won't have as protracted a development cycle as their newest romp, which was reportedly rebooted a couple of times before Patel steadied the ship. "There's this interesting thing I've seen on every project I've worked on or seen during my time at the studio — things are messy, messy, messy, then they start coming together," she explained. "How can we find that point a little earlier? Or at least find the things we need to reinforce for ourselves? Yes we will get there, we’re on track."
