In the run-up to Avowed, there were a lot of people who were either convinced it would flop, or actively wanted it to sell poorly. This was because it found itself as one of the many games targetted by the 'anti-woke' crowd online because... the character models weren't hot enough, or something? I don't know guys, Kai is right there.
Anyway, it seems that despite all of this, it is actually performing quite well. This comes from an interview with Bloomberg, in which it is reported that Obsidian is "happy with sales so far." This lines up with what we're seeing elsewhere, with Avowed topping the best-sellers list on Steam this week.
Off the back of this, game director Carrie Patel is eager to stick with Avowed going forward. "Now that we’ve built this wonderful world, and also built this team strength and muscle memory around the content and gameplay in this world, I’d love to see us do more with it," she says, suggesting that we'll get some expansions.
This is all despite a fairly intense hate campaign, which also targeted titles like Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Silent Hill 2 Remake, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2....
