Avowed Multiplayer: The Answer Revealed

Avowed has been dubbed Obsidian Entertainment’s Skyrim, but it's more akin to a fantasy rendition of their game The Outer Worlds. A common question among fans is whether Avowed supports multiplayer features. Let's dive into the details.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Avowed does not feature any form of multiplayer, be it cooperative play or player versus player combat. You'll embark on your fantasy journey solo, accompanied only by non-player character (NPC) companions, similar to the setup in The Outer Worlds. All adversaries you encounter will be controlled by the game's AI, with no option for other players to invade your world, akin to features found in games like Sniper Elite. So, to reiterate, Avowed offers no multiplayer elements – no PvP, no invasion mode, and no co-op mode.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall hearing about Avowed including co-op, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Initially, Obsidian Entertainment did plan to incorporate co-op into the game. However, they later decided to abandon this feature, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" (via Dexerto). Co-op was initially pitched as a selling point to attract investors. While it's uncertain how investors felt about this change, Avowed stands strong as a single-player experience.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there's no public information about any planned co-op mods for Avowed on PC. While it's possible that modders might eventually create one, the process is complex and time-consuming. For comparison, Skyrim received a co-op mod years after its release. Obsidian has confirmed they have no plans to add co-op to Avowed post-launch.
