Avowed Multiplayer: The Answer Revealed

Avowed has often been compared to Obsidian Entertainment's Skyrim, but it's more akin to a fantasy rendition of their game The Outer Worlds. However, one key question on many fans' minds is whether Avowed allows for multiplayer experiences. Let's dive into that.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Avowed does not feature multiplayer support, whether in co-op or player versus player (PvP) modes. You'll embark on your journey through this richly crafted fantasy world with the help of companions, but these will be NPCs, similar to The Outer Worlds.

The adversaries you encounter will also be exclusively AI-controlled. There's no feature akin to Sniper Elite's invasion mode where other players can disrupt your gameplay. In short, Avowed is devoid of any multiplayer elements—no PvP, no invasion mode, and no co-op. Interestingly, this wasn't always the plan.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall Avowed being promoted with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Initially, Obsidian Entertainment did intend to include co-op in the game. However, as development progressed, they decided to shift their focus away from co-op, feeling it was too central to their early plans (via Dexerto). The feature was initially pitched to attract investors, but ultimately, Avowed was streamlined to a single-player experience.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, no one has publicly announced plans for an Avowed co-op mod for PC. While it's conceivable that such a mod could emerge in the future, creating one would be a significant undertaking. For comparison, Skyrim received a co-op mod years after its launch. Obsidian has also stated they have no plans to add co-op functionality post-launch.
