Avowed has been dubbed Obsidian Entertainment's Skyrim, yet it's more akin to a fantasy rendition of the developer's The Outer Worlds. But what about sharing your fantasy adventure with others? Is Avowed a multiplayer experience? Let's delve into the details.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Avowed does not feature multiplayer options, including co-op or player versus player (PvP) modes. You'll embark on your journey through this captivating fantasy world with companions, but these will all be non-player characters (NPCs), similar to the setup in The Outer Worlds.

Your adversaries in the game will also be exclusively controlled by AI. There won't be any Sniper Elite-style invasions where other players can disrupt your gameplay. In short, Avowed lacks any form of multiplayer—be it PvP, invasion features, or co-op. However, it's worth noting that multiplayer was initially considered for the game.

What Happened to Avowed's Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall Avowed being advertised with co-op, rest assured, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Obsidian Entertainment did indeed plan to include co-op in the game. However, during development, they decided to shift focus away from it, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" (via Dexerto). Initially, co-op was pitched as a feature to attract investors. While this change might have disappointed some, Avowed stands strong as a compelling single-player experience.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there's no public information on anyone developing a co-op mod for Avowed on PC. While it's possible that such a mod could emerge in the future, creating one would be a significant undertaking compared to simpler mod projects, like turning dragons into Macho Man Randy Savage in Skyrim. Notably, Skyrim received a co-op mod years after its release, but Obsidian has no plans to officially add co-op to Avowed post-launch.
