"Is Avowed Multiplayer? The Answer Revealed"

Avowed has been dubbed Obsidian Entertainment’s Skyrim, yet it feels more akin to a fantasy rendition of their game The Outer Worlds. But what about sharing your fantasy adventure with others? Is Avowed a multiplayer experience? Here's the definitive answer.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Avowed does not include multiplayer features, whether it's cooperative play or player versus player combat. You'll dive into this rich fantasy world solo, accompanied only by NPC companions, similar to the setup in The Outer Worlds.

All adversaries you encounter, no matter their strength, are controlled by the game's AI. There's no feature akin to Sniper Elite's invasion mode where other players can disrupt your journey. To clarify, Avowed offers no form of multiplayer – no PvP, no invasion mode, and no co-op. However, multiplayer was initially part of the plan.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

Avowed, the character fighting a bear-like monster.

If you recall Avowed being promoted with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Obsidian Entertainment did intend to include multiplayer initially. However, they later decided to abandon this feature, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" (via Dexerto). Co-op was used as a selling point to attract investors, but its removal hasn't detracted from the game's appeal.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

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