Avowed Multiplayer: The Answer Revealed

Avowed has been likened to Obsidian Entertainment's Skyrim, yet it's more akin to a fantasy rendition of their game The Outer Worlds. One burning question on many gamers' minds is whether Avowed offers a multiplayer experience. Let's dive into the details.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Avowed does not include multiplayer features, be it co-op or player versus player (PvP) modes. You'll embark on this fantasy journey solo, accompanied only by NPCs who will assist you throughout your adventure, much like in The Outer Worlds. The enemies you'll encounter, no matter their strength, are all controlled by AI. There's no feature similar to Sniper Elite's invasion mode, where other players can disrupt your game. In short, Avowed offers no multiplayer options at all—neither PvP, invasion mode, nor co-op. However, it's interesting to note that multiplayer was initially considered for the game.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall Avowed being touted with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Obsidian Entertainment did plan to include multiplayer in the game. As development progressed, they decided to shift their focus away from co-op, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" according to Dexerto. Initially, co-op was used as a selling point to attract investors. While it's unclear how investors reacted to this change, Avowed has proven to be a compelling single-player experience without it.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there's no public information about any co-op mod for Avowed on PC. While it's possible that such a mod could be developed in the future, the task is significantly more complex than creating simpler mods. For comparison, Skyrim received a co-op mod years after its release. However, Obsidian has made it clear that they have no plans to add co-op functionality post-launch.
