While the expansive world of the Living Lands in *Avowed* captivates players, the main quest in Obsidian's latest RPG is surprisingly short. If you're eager for more adventures after the credits roll, here’s what you can expect post-gameplay in *Avowed*.
Does Avowed Have New Game Plus?
For those who revel in the thrill of replaying a main quest on a higher difficulty with accumulated skills and gear, *Avowed* might initially disappoint. At launch, *Avowed* does not feature a New Game Plus mode. However, given the community's vocal desire for this feature, there's a good chance Obsidian might introduce it through future updates or DLCs. In the meantime, the game's rich tapestry of choices and multiple endings still offers compelling reasons to start a new save. Experimenting with different character builds and story outcomes can provide a fresh experience, even without a traditional New Game Plus mode.
Does Avowed Have Endgame Content?
Image Source: Obsidian Entertainment via The Escapist*Avowed* is segmented into four main regions, plus a secret unnamed finale area and a revisit to one of the game's major cities. This structure allows players to fully utilize their progression, with Legendary Quality Weapons and Gear becoming crucial for navigating these challenging final areas. However, these challenges are confined to the new regions; previous areas won't scale with your progress, and no additional regions unlock post-game. It's a bit disappointing that you can't see the broader impact of your decisions on the Living Lands after the credits roll.
What You Can Do After You Beat Avowed
With no New Game Plus and scant endgame content, *Avowed*'s post-game offerings might seem underwhelming. After defeating the final enemy, you'll be treated to animatic cutscenes that illustrate how your choices have shaped the world and its characters. Once these conclude, you'll find yourself back at the Main Menu.
From here, you have two main options: start anew with a different Envoy or reload a previous save. Autosaves just before the point of no return and before the final encounter allow you to replay these crucial sections, enabling different choices and alternate story outcomes. Reloading to a save before the point of no return also lets you revisit earlier regions. You can complete any missed side quests, collect remaining items, and achieve those elusive achievements. With your upgraded gear, revisiting early regions like Dawnshore can be a thrilling experience.
And that’s the rundown on what happens after you beat *Avowed*.
*Avowed is available now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.*
