*Avowed* has drawn comparisons to *Skyrim*, yet it's more akin to a fantasy rendition of Obsidian Entertainment's *The Outer Worlds*. But can you invite friends to join your epic journey? Let's dive into whether *Avowed* offers a multiplayer experience. I've got the scoop for you.
Does *Avowed* Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?
*Avowed* does not support multiplayer, whether it's co-op or player versus player (PvP) modes. You'll embark on this fantasy adventure solo, with only NPC companions by your side, similar to *The Outer Worlds*. The adversaries you encounter will all be AI-controlled, with no feature akin to *Sniper Elite*'s invasions where other players can disrupt your gameplay. To clarify, *Avowed* offers no multiplayer options at all—no PvP, no invasion mode, and no co-op. However, this wasn't always the plan.
What Happened to *Avowed*'s Planned Multiplayer?
If you recall *Avowed* being pitched with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Obsidian Entertainment did indeed plan to include multiplayer at first. Yet, during development, they decided to pivot away from it, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" (via Dexerto). Initially, co-op was used as a selling point to attract investors. While we hope the investors weren't too disappointed, it's clear that *Avowed* doesn't necessarily need co-op to shine.
Is There an *Avowed* Co-Op Mod?
As of now, there's no word on any *Avowed* co-op mod for PC. While it's possible one might emerge in the future, creating such a mod involves significant effort. Just think, it's more challenging than modding dragons into Macho Man Randy Savage in *Skyrim*—a game that did eventually receive a co-op mod years after its launch. Obsidian has no plans to add co-op functionality to *Avowed* post-release.
