Avowed: All New Unique Items from Update 1.5

As part of Update 1.5, released on July 15th, 2025, there are 17 new Unique items scattered across the Living Lands. We’ll show you what each one does and where to find it.

It’s a bit of a surprise to see so many new items (and a bunch of new Abilities) outside of DLC, and Obsidian offered the following explanation in the 1.5 Patch Notes:

We found that players were not able to play specific builds that they wanted to early on in the game. So, we added more unique gear through these regions to assist with that. 

While the items are weighted towards earlier regions, a third of the items still come from the second half of the game (Shatterscarp and Galawain’s Tusks). I get the impression that these items were scavenged from the wreckage of unannounced DLC.

Keep in mind that this is pure speculation, but Obsidian is no stranger to expansions, and Sanza’s map clearly details other zones in the Living Lands that we never get to visit.

I imagine that DLC was planned for Avowed but cancelled after insufficient sales and the game director’s departure from Obsidian shortly after release.
