Yes and no. You have the choice, the game offer an offline mode, where you are alone with npc in your own little world, or a online mode where you can connect to any server of your choice. The server is open-source too, so you can run your own little Veloren world for you and your friend.
Though, fair warning, the game, at least last time I played it, 2-3 months ago, was still very much balanced toward teaming up with at least one other person to beat most dungeons. You can beat them alone, at least the low level ones, but it becomes tedious since you respawn at the entrance of the dungeon, and they can be quite deep.
