A search engine mix-up had Avowed players declare that an Indian politician was “John Avowed” – and they’ve already made him in-game

Affirmedly, it’s available for those who splurged a bit more on the Deluxe Version, and certain gamers have started emulating “John Avowed,” the unexpected meme-worthy character that has emerged as the symbol of the game’s fanbase.

If you searched for “Announced release date” in recent times, it’s possible that Indian politician Nitin Gadkari appeared in some context, raising an arm to signal a wave, referring to the February 18th unveiling of the new RPG. This is the day the game officially goes live on Game Pass, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.

The search engines aren’t as reliable as they once were, it seems. Yet, the Avowed subreddit didn’t miss out on having a bit of fun with this odd incident. Fans speculated he was John Avowed, drawing a connection to John-117, more commonly known as Master Chief, and his humorous online alias John Halo. Some even humorously suggested that he might be a companion or playable character in the game.

Hey gamers, as long as the character creation screen is fun and flexible enough, even John Avowed could join the action in this new Obsidian fantasy epic! Reddit user Kaizerx10 already gave it a shot on the very first day, trying to create the legendary character himself. Unfortunately, options were somewhat restricted, but I tip my hat to their determination. Maybe mods can expand these possibilities down the line? Even without that, Obsidian hasn’t closed the door on potential DLC for the game, so who knows what the future holds!

As a gamer, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia, yet it’s clear that Avowed is breaking new ground in the world of Obsidian Entertainment’s remarkable collection of games known for their compelling narratives. In essence, my review finds Avowed to be turning over a fresh, captivating leaf in this esteemed studio’s chronicles.
