Avowed Director Leaves Obsidian, Joins Oxenfree Studio

At Obsidian Entertainment, there are exciting plans in store for the action RPG ‘Avowed’, however, its director, Carrie Patel, has decided to part ways with the studio and join Night School Studio instead. In a recent update on LinkedIn, Patel announced her departure and her new role at Night School Studio, which is renowned for creating the popular ‘Oxenfree’ series and is now under the ownership of Netflix.

Patel is set to serve as a game director at the studio, though the specific project she’ll be working on remains unclear.
