What Happens After You Beat Avowed?

While Avowed's Living Lands feel vast, the main quest is surprisingly concise. Curious about post-game activities? Let's explore what awaits after completing Obsidian's latest RPG.

New Game Plus?

Many RPG enthusiasts relish replaying the main quest on higher difficulties with acquired skills and gear. Unfortunately, Avowed currently lacks a New Game Plus mode at launch. However, Obsidian may add this feature via future updates or DLC based on player feedback.

Despite this, replayability exists. Avowed's impactful choices significantly alter the story and gameplay, making a fresh save worthwhile to explore different endings and character builds.

Endgame Content?

Avowed features four main regions, a secret final area, and a revisit to a major city (details withheld to avoid spoilers). Legendary-quality weapons and gear are crucial for conquering these challenging final areas. However, this challenge doesn't extend to previously explored regions, and no new areas unlock post-completion. This lack of a persistent impact from player choices on the world is a notable omission.

Post-Game Activities:

Avowed's post-game is somewhat limited by the absence of New Game Plus and endgame content. Upon completion, you'll witness several minutes of cutscenes detailing the consequences of your choices. Afterwards, you're returned to the main menu.

From the main menu, you can start a new game or reload a previous save. Autosaves from before the point of no return and the final encounter should be available. This allows replaying sections with altered choices for varied story outcomes.

Reloading to a pre-point-of-no-return save allows revisiting previous regions. This enables map completion, achievement hunting, side quest finishing, and collecting missed items. Importantly, enemies in earlier areas won't scale to your increased level, making it incredibly satisfying to revisit, say, Dawnshore, wielding Legendary gear.

That's the post-game experience in Avowed.

Avowed is currently available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
