Obsidian released its latest role-playing game to the masses a few months ago, delivering Avowed as a brand-new fantasy adventure set in its Pillars of Eternity universe, Eora. While the studio has delivered some bug-fixing updates, it has been teasing some major content coming later. Today, Obsidian finally gave a look at the post-launch roadmap for the RPG while also releasing the first major update.

The Spring 2025 update is now live with features like an Arachnophobia Mode that converts spiders into floating orbs, mouse and keyboard support for Xbox consoles, fog of war improvements to clear more areas easier, gear improvements, and many other changes. Here are some highlights:

Map Exploration Enhancements

Once most of a map’s accessible areas are explored, the fog of war will now fully clear.

Entering a city on an overland map (e.g. Northern Paradis in Dawnshore) will now reveal that portion of the map.

Increased radius for fog clearing as you explore.

Critter Loot Drops

Critters can now be defeated—and may drop loot!

New Party Camp Feature

Players can now wait at the Party Camp to advance time.

Improved Soul Pod Functionality

Soul Pods now dispel illusions (except for Ryngrim’s entrance, which still requires Yatzli’s help).

New Settings Options

Chests now optionally appear on the minimap.
