A delightful Easter egg in Avowed brings a touch of humor by giving a nod to the cherished Avatar: The Last Airbender series. Gamers have been busy uncovering various references hidden within Avowed, adding to the excitement surrounding the game as it moves towards a wider release.
Officially set to launch on February 18, Avowed marks Obsidian Entertainment’s first RPG since 2019. However, fans who sprang for the $89.99 Premium Edition have already been getting a taste of the action since Thursday, February 13.
Redditor TrashPuppy97 is among those early players who unearthed a clever Easter egg, a sly reference to Avatar: The Last Airbender’s beloved lore. This Easter egg arrives in the form of a sales manifest, humorously suggesting it was penned by Cai, a character frequently appearing in Avatar. In it, Cai laments that “the last market was hostile to cabbages” but holds out hope for better luck in Eora. This is a cheeky homage to the misadventures of Cai’s Cabbage Corp within the Avatar series, where his endeavors are often met with disaster, punctuated by his famous cry, “My cabbages!”
Avowed boasts an extensive collection of Easter eggs, referencing not only the Avatar universe but also richly connecting to the Pillars of Eternity series, set within the same universe. Devotees have also detected hints of homage to other non-Obsidian games, such as Mass Effect, cleverly woven throughout the game’s narrative and interactions.
Initial feedback for Avowed is generally positive, as evidenced by its solid “Strong” rating on OpenCritic, featuring an average score of 81 with an 85% approval from reviewers. Players and critics alike have commended its deep lore, engaging choices, vibrant art direction, and the satisfaction delivered through its combat mechanics. However, some have voiced slight disappointment with the game’s ending, describing it as a tad anticlimactic.
As the global release date approaches, it remains to be seen if the reception of Avowed by a broader audience will mirror the enthusiasm of early critics. This latest offering from Obsidian is poised to be the second significant first-person RPG released in February 2025, hot on the heels of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 by Warhorse Studios. Fans of action RPGs can also set their sights on forthcoming titles like Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin’s Creed Shadows, expected to land on February 28 and March 20, respectively.
