Avowed has been dubbed Obsidian Entertainment's Skyrim, yet it resonates more as a fantasy counterpart to their game The Outer Worlds. A key question for many fans is whether Avowed includes multiplayer features, allowing others to join in on the fantasy adventure. Let's dive into the details.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Avowed does not support multiplayer, whether in cooperative mode or player versus player mode. As you embark on your journey through this fantasy realm, you'll be accompanied by companions, but they are all NPCs, similar to the setup in The Outer Worlds.

The adversaries you encounter will also be exclusively controlled by AI, with no Sniper Elite-style invasions where other players can disrupt your game. Avowed offers no multiplayer elements whatsoever—no PvP, no invasion mode, and no co-op mode. However, it's worth noting that multiplayer was initially part of the plan.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall Avowed being promoted with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Obsidian Entertainment did intend to include co-op initially. However, they later decided to abandon this feature, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" (via Dexerto). Co-op was used as a selling point to attract investors, but its removal hasn't detracted from the game's core appeal.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there's no public information about any planned Avowed co-op mod for PC. While it's possible that a mod could emerge in the future, creating one would be a significant undertaking. 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.
