Is Avowed Multiplayer? Answered

Many have compared *Avowed* to Obsidian's *Skyrim*, but it's arguably closer in spirit to their *Outer Worlds*. A burning question for many potential players: does *Avowed* offer a multiplayer experience? The short answer is no.

Does *Avowed* Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Avowed is strictly a single-player game. There's no co-op mode, and no player-versus-player (PvP) combat. While you'll have companions to aid you on your journey, these are non-player characters (NPCs), similar to the companions in The Outer Worlds. All enemies, regardless of strength, are AI-controlled. There are no invasion mechanics, like those found in Sniper Elite, allowing other players to disrupt your game. Multiplayer, in any form, is absent from Avowed.

What Happened to *Avowed*'s Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall Avowed being advertised with co-op, you're not mistaken. Obsidian initially planned to include it. However, during development, the decision was made to cut multiplayer, citing a focus on other aspects of the game (via Dexerto). While co-op was initially used to attract investors, the final product stands alone as a compelling single-player experience.

Is There an *Avowed* Co-Op Mod?

Currently, there's no publicly known co-op mod for Avowed. While the possibility exists, creating such a mod is a significant undertaking. Similar to the Skyrim co-op mod, which arrived years after the game's launch, an Avowed co-op mod might appear eventually, but it's not something Obsidian is developing. Furthermore, Obsidian has stated they have no plans to add co-op functionality post-launch.
