"Is Avowed Multiplayer? The Answer Revealed"

Avowed has drawn comparisons to Obsidian Entertainment's Skyrim, yet it resonates more closely with the fantasy elements of The Outer Worlds. A common query among fans is whether Avowed allows for a shared adventure with other players. Let's delve into the multiplayer aspect of Avowed.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Avowed does not include multiplayer functionality, be it cooperative play or player versus player combat. You'll embark on your journey solo, accompanied only by non-player character (NPC) companions akin to those found in The Outer Worlds. These NPCs will assist you throughout your adventure, but all adversaries you encounter will be controlled by the game's AI. Unlike games such as Sniper Elite, there's no feature allowing other players to invade your world. Avowed remains strictly a single-player experience, devoid of any multiplayer elements, including PvP, invasion modes, or co-op.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall Avowed being advertised with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Initially, Obsidian Entertainment did intend to include multiplayer co-op in the game. However, as development progressed, they decided to abandon this feature, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" (via Dexerto). Co-op was initially used as a selling point to attract investors. While this change might have disappointed some, Avowed remains compelling as a solo experience.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

Currently, there's no public information about any planned co-op mods for Avowed on PC. While it's feasible that a mod could be developed in the future, the process would be significantly more complex than creating whimsical mods like turning dragons into Macho Man Randy Savage. For comparison, Skyrim received a co-op mod years after its initial release, but Obsidian has no plans to add co-op support post-launch for Avowed.
