It didn't look very good from what I saw previously. Hopefully they can sort out that boring combat which they said they're working on.
Tom Warren reporting Avowed to be delayed to early 2025
- Thread starter cormack12
- Start date

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Early 2025 would imply something within the first quarter at least, if not the first month.

Whether the "breathing room" is legitimate or not, I don't care. For me, I need the breathing room. The release schedule from August > November is stacked and I don't think I was going to get to Avowed until 2025 anyways.
WoW expansion
D4 Expansion
Shattered Space
Age of Mythology
Indiana Jones
Stalker 2
COD
Sure I'm missing some others, but trying to navigate these large games with a family, work and holidays is going to be rough.

That's what i said. Early 2025 could be anywhere up to March, April at a push.

HR needs some breathing room for the incoming layoffs or else they will miss out on their staff retention annual target.

Two first party console exclusive titles in that list. Earth shattering.
Punished Miku
Human Rights Subscription Service
Shattered Space
Indiana Jones
Age of Mythology
Call of Duty BO6
Stalker 2 (3rd party timed deal)
Towerborne (possibly but still unconfirmed, 2nd party deal)
Long shot chance, maybe Replaced.

Xbox always bunch everything in fall.
This time though COD is coming so they have to make way for it.
Edit: Avowed is my most anticipated upcoming release, so it sucks.

Also XGS published coming later this year.\
I think STALKER 2 being pushed to November would be the main cause of this.
Not releasing 2 big AAA games on game pass in the same month.

"good shape", they admitted the combat wasn't ready to be shown yet . . . doesn't exactly sound like they're just polishing.

I hear what you’re saying though a Call of Duty game was always coming in the fall, the difference now is it’s own by MS and launching in Game Pass. And they knew CoD was coming to Game Pass and its release date when they reiterated Avowed’s 2024’s release date at the June showcase. Either it needs more time and/or MS was happy to make it seem like 2024 was going to have Avowed in it, and just decided to bait and switch the date.

It's three DLC expansions (one exclusive to PC, other from Diablo 4), a third-party timed exclusive, and fucking COD. That, and there's the fact that their only first-party game this year thus far is Hellblade 2. He won't be the one coping.
Seriously, should have at least mentioned Towerborne instead of any of those.

Just what MS is releasing. Seems like a decent slate if you ask me. I game on PC so i couldn't give 2 fucks about "console exclusives"

Another game that was also delayed.

I think there is only so many games people can play, if you hammer them all out in the same period, games get overlooked and it means there potentially dry spells elsewhere.
I still haven't got round to Kunitsu-gami or persona 3 reload, I'm super pumped for them both and various other titles I've purchased, I just haven't had the time for them, this applies to many other games as well though.
Plus call of duty black ops 6 launches that month too right? I would imagine most games will get completely dwarfed by that games release on game pass tbh.
If I comes out early next year and gets the spotlight on itself then that is a good thing, hopefully the game turns out good, as I personally really like the look of it myself.
Edit: the releases are pretty stacked at the end of the year, space marine 2, metaphor, stalker 2, visions of mana, black ops 6, dragon age, star wars outlaws, AC:shadows and loads more.

Both Avowed and Hellblade 2 were also on PC, so your original point and this comment kinda make no sense ?
Anyway, this is the first party slate for the rest of the year, 3 expansions and 5 games.
WoW expansion
D4 Expansion
Shattered Space
Ara History Untold
Towerborne
Age of Mythology
Indiana Jones
Stalker 2 * not 1P published.
COD
Yes, unfortunate.

As a PC gamer all of that interests me. I play COD daily. Its a lot of content most on gamepass as well, itll be hard to cope with all that in a short space of time.

Fine, but he was obviously talking about Xbox Series, so using a WOW expansion isn't going to change anyone's mind.

Seems like The Outer Worlds team, which released in October 2019… so likely started with a larger team then or a few months prior.

"Maybe we just have TOO many games" isn't something I expected to hear from Xbox even though I get the reasoning behind it.

Xbox releases have not been just console for a long time.
I guess the MS rebranding of what "xbox" is has worked on you.

I don't see how that changes anything of what I said.

It’s all bullshit. If the game was good they wouldn’t have bothered delaying it. Plain and simple.
Shame about the delay. I was really excited to see which “modern” RPG was more insufferable between Avowed and Dragon Age.

Just means I get to play all their game on release without the need for an xbox. So I guess it has.

The amount of people swallowing the PR spin of “it’s a busy period” is hilarious. The fall season is always busy. Microsoft knew that when they put Avowed on the release schedule. If they thought the game could stand on its own merits, they wouldn’t be delaying it.
It’s clearly being delayed because it’s a mess and they want to put this inevitable 6-7 out of 10 game out in a “dead” release window so they can pump up their engagement metrics.

Fine by me. I was never gung-ho on it, so let it cook to get better I guess.

If it’s delayed again everyone knows it wasn’t just a strategic delay.
Should be Alpine though.

That's actually good - there are too many games in autumn already.

Hopefully lip syncing, conversations makes it look like an indie game and there really is no excuse for that with Microsoft’s wallet. Would’ve been ten times better with stylized still pictures like in No Rest for the Wicked. Wonky lip sync is the worst.

No rush. I know it will be good. We don't need another Redfall incident.
