Couchpotato spotted a new update for Avowed:

Avowed 1.4 Update is Here - And So Is Our Roadmap!

This update brings a host of quality-of-life improvements, many of them inspired directly by your feedback.
Thank you for being part of our amazing community. Your support means the world to us, and we’re excited to share what’s next on the horizon for Avowed.

Alongside today’s 1.4 update, we’re also unveiling our roadmap! This new graphic gives a sneak peek at some of the content and improvements coming to Avowed in the near future. We hope it gives you a clearer picture of what we’re working on—and what you can look forward to next.

[...]

We also want to acknowledge our players in Korea, Japan, and French-speaking regions. We know how important it is to experience a game in your preferred language, and we are actively working on localized versions for Korean and Japanese, along with ongoing improvements for French. We’re committed to delivering these updates as soon as they are ready, and we deeply appreciate your patience and support as we make sure they meet the quality you deserve.

Now, onto what’s available today…

Arachnophobia Mode Now Available!
The community has spoken—and we listened! Our new Arachnophobia Mode is now live in Avowed. This optional feature replaces spider enemies with round, floating orbs that still pack a punch… but might be a bit less creepy. You can toggle this setting in the Accessibility menu. Just remember: friendlier looks, same deadly bite.

Thanks Couchpotato!

It doesn't sound like there are any DLCs in the works, unless that's coming next year?

 

[Couchpotato]

Meh just cosmetics and other easier additions.

Probably wont ever be any story DLC.

Yeah, I expected the new update to do basically this since that is what they indicated last month ... but I'd have thought they would use this announcement to at least indicate whether they planned DLC or not. I looked back because I thought they'd hinted at it, but that all appears to be speculation and wishful thinking by gamers.

Oh well I had my fun playing Avowed - but DLC would have been a clear trigger for a replay.

 

[Couchpotato]

My guess is the cost and time to development full DLC for a game like this, was probably deemed not worth it. I'll be surprised if a year later they do announce something.

 

[Andrew23]

It played its role as gamepass attraction and DLC has no such potential. And as it seems sales aside of gamepass cannot justify such investment.

Welcome to corporate, Obsidian. Bioware managed to survive 18 years and still counting, for now at least. How long will Obsidian last?

Would they ever do another PoE isometric game? I'd be keen for that...or has the torch been passed to Owlcat?

Would they ever do another PoE isometric game?

Only guessing, but I'd say it's highly unlikely. Not with Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios calling the shots.

 

[booboo]

@JDR13 that would be sad - I really enjoyed the Eora setting and for me at least the turn-based/isometric style game worked better than Avowed :/ But I guess they'll go where the money is - or where they think it is.

I thought they said from the start (before release) that they didn't plan any story DLC.
