Listen "310 - Preview Week with Avowed & Path of Exile 2!"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of Random Encounter, we're chatting about previews of two games we're excited for in 2025!First up is a hands-on preview of Obsidian's newest first-person RPG, Avowed. A spin-off from the beloved Pillars of Eternity series, Avowed is being presented as Obsidian's answer to Skyrim. That said, it has an identity all its own, avoiding the full-on open world for a series of expansive zones, similar to their previous RPG, The Outer Worlds. Mark got a chance to play through some of the early game, and he is excited to share his impressions!Next, we sent Zek all the way down to LA for a hands-on preview of Path of Exile 2, the sequel to the long-running, free-to-play action RPG, Path of Exile. What started as a Diablo-clone has evolved into a game with a massive community of fans who support the game through cosmetics and other ethical in-app purchases. Does this sequel live up to the standard set by the original, or did they literally sell out? Zek thinks it's the latter, and we hope so too!Featuring: Jono Logan, Mark Roddison, and Zek Lu; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: [email protected]: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Avowed is a Comfortable Return to Eora PreviewPillars of Eternity ReviewPillars of Eternity II: Deadfire ReviewThe Outer Worlds ReviewPath of Exile 2 Hands-On Preview: Off to a Thrilling & Promising StartPath of Exile Review
