What Happens After You Beat Avowed?

Despite Avowed's expansive Living Lands, its main quest is surprisingly concise. For those seeking extended gameplay after the credits roll, here's a post-game breakdown.

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. While not confirmed, future updates or DLC could potentially introduce this feature, given player demand.

However, replayability exists even without New Game Plus. 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 revisited major city (details withheld to avoid spoilers). High-level Legendary weapons and gear are crucial for navigating these challenging areas. However, this high-level challenge doesn't extend to previously explored regions, and no new areas unlock post-game. This limits post-game exploration of the Living Lands as shaped by player choices.

Post-Game Activities:

Avowed's post-game is relatively limited due to the absence of New Game Plus and endgame content. Completion triggers several minutes of cutscenes illustrating the consequences of your choices, after which 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 are accessible, allowing replay of these sections with altered decisions for varying story outcomes.

Reloading to a pre-point-of-no-return save also allows revisiting earlier regions. This enables map completion, achievement hunting, side quest finishing, and collecting missed items. Importantly, enemies in these earlier regions won't scale to your level, making even early areas a fun challenge with high-level gear.

In summary, that's the post-game experience in Avowed.

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