While the expansive world of the Living Lands in *Avowed* may seem vast, the main quest of Obsidian’s latest RPG is surprisingly concise. For those eager to dive back into the game post-credits, here’s what awaits you after beating *Avowed*.
Does Avowed Have New Game Plus?
For completionists who relish the challenge of replaying a game on a higher difficulty with their hard-earned skills and gear, RPGs often provide the perfect playground. Unfortunately, *Avowed* does not feature a New Game Plus mode at launch. However, the community's desire for such a mode has been vocal, hinting at the possibility of Obsidian adding it through future updates or DLCs. Even without New Game Plus, *Avowed* offers ample replay value due to its branching narrative and character build options. Starting a new save can lead to different story outcomes and gameplay experiences, making it worthwhile to explore the game anew.
Does Avowed Have Endgame Content?

*Avowed* is structured around four main regions, a secret unnamed finale area, and a return to one of the game’s major cities, which we won't spoil here. The final areas provide a challenging experience, where Legendary Quality Weapons and Gear become crucial for survival. However, these challenges don't extend to the earlier regions, and there are no new areas to explore post-game. This means you won't get to see how your decisions have shaped the Living Lands beyond the initial playthrough, which can be disappointing.
What You Can Do After You Beat Avowed
The post-game content in *Avowed* is somewhat limited due to the absence of a New Game Plus mode and any dedicated endgame activities. Once you complete the final encounter, you'll be treated to animatic cutscenes that showcase the consequences of your choices on the world and characters of the Living Lands. After these cutscenes, you're returned to the Main Menu.
From the Main Menu, you have the option to embark on a new journey with a fresh Envoy or reload to a previous point in your *Avowed* save. Autosaves just before the point of no return and before the final encounter are available, allowing you to replay these sections and experiment with different decisions to see varied story endings.
Reloading to a save before the point of no return also grants you access to all previous regions. This is your chance to complete any side quests, collect missed items, and earn achievements. With your upgraded gear, revisiting earlier regions like Dawnshore can be a thrilling experience as you overpower the enemies with your Legendary Quality weapons and gear.
And that's the full scope of what happens after you beat *Avowed*.
*Avowed is available now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.*
