Avowed: Multiplayer Confirmed

Avowed has been dubbed Obsidian Entertainment's Skyrim, yet it's more akin to a fantasy rendition of their The Outer Worlds. But can you share this fantasy journey with others? Is Avowed multiplayer? 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 modes. You'll embark on your adventure in this rich fantasy world accompanied solely by NPCs, similar to The Outer Worlds. These companions will assist you throughout your journey, but all interactions will be with computer-controlled characters. Additionally, the enemies you'll face, no matter their strength, are all AI-driven. There's no feature akin to Sniper Elite's invasion mode where other players can disrupt your game. In short, Avowed offers no multiplayer elements whatsoever - no PvP, no invasion mode, no 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 co-op in Avowed. However, they later decided to abandon this feature, feeling it was diverting too much focus from the core game (via Dexerto). Co-op was initially pitched as a key selling point to attract investors. While it's unclear how investors reacted to this change, Avowed stands strong as a single-player experience.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there's no public announcement about any Avowed co-op PC mod. While it's feasible that a mod could emerge eventually, the development of such a mod would be significantly more complex than simpler modifications. For comparison, Skyrim received a co-op mod years after its release. Obsidian has confirmed they have no plans to add co-op post-launch.
