Avowed Multiplayer: The Answer Revealed

Avowed has been dubbed Obsidian Entertainment's Skyrim, yet it more closely resembles a fantasy rendition of their The Outer Worlds. A common query among fans is whether this game supports multiplayer features. Let's delve into that.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Avowed does not include multiplayer functionalities, be it cooperative play or player versus player modes. You'll embark on your journey through this fantasy realm accompanied solely by NPCs, similar to the experience in The Outer Worlds. These companions will assist you throughout your adventure, but all interactions will be with computer-controlled characters. Additionally, there's no feature akin to Sniper Elite's invasion mode where other players could disrupt your gameplay. Avowed is strictly a single-player experience with no PvP, invasion, or co-op modes included.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall Avowed being touted with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Initially, Obsidian Entertainment did plan to incorporate multiplayer into the game. However, as development progressed, they decided to pivot away from this focus, feeling it was "too focused on co-op" (via Dexerto). Co-op was originally pitched as a selling point to attract investors. While it's unclear how investors reacted to this shift, Avowed seems to stand strong as a single-player title without needing multiplayer elements.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there are no known plans or announcements regarding a co-op mod for Avowed on PC. While it's within the realm of possibility for such a mod to surface in the future, creating one would be a significant undertaking. For context, a co-op mod for Skyrim was released years after the game's initial launch. However, Obsidian has confirmed they have no plans to add co-op functionality post-launch.
