The Avowed 1.4 update is officially live across all platforms, addressing a major frustration for gamers. This patch couldn’t have arrived at a better time.
Along with the new patch, a roadmap for upcoming content has been released, generating excitement for what’s ahead. The version 1.4 update has notably improved the fog of war feature, a much-needed fix that players have been eagerly anticipating. I’m thrilled to see this issue resolved so promptly.
Avowed’s Fog of War Now Enjoyable Post-1.4 Update
The 1.4 update comes with a plethora of changes, and one highlight from the patch notes reads:
- Once most of a map’s accessible areas are explored, the fog of war will fully clear.
Simply put, once you’ve explored all the accessible parts of the map, you won’t have to deal with lingering fog. Previously, the fog of war was a source of irritation, as there were many inaccessible zones on Avowed’s map. Although these areas remain, they won’t obscure your gameplay experience anymore.
Before this update, the fog would persist over unreachable sections, making navigation frustrating. This was particularly noted in a Reddit thread, where players expressed their concerns. The map might highlight key areas of interest, but it wouldn’t clarify blocked paths due to walls or cliffs, leading to unnecessary time spent trying to access untraversable sections.
Avowed 2025 Roadmap: Exciting Developments Await
As much as the fog of war improvements excite me, there’s a wealth of new content on the horizon. The roadmap is organized into three segments: Spring, Summer, and Fall. Notably, the content for the Spring 2025 update has already been rolled out.
