Is Avowed Multiplayer? Answered

Many have compared *Avowed* to Obsidian's *Skyrim*, but its gameplay is arguably more akin to a fantasy-themed *Outer Worlds*. A common question arises: can you share this fantasy adventure with others? The short answer is no; *Avowed* is a strictly single-player experience.

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

Avowed offers no multiplayer functionality, neither co-op nor player-versus-player (PvP). While you'll have companions assisting you, these are non-player characters (NPCs), similar to The Outer Worlds. All enemies, regardless of strength, are AI-controlled. There's no feature allowing other players to invade your game world, nor any form of co-op gameplay. While initially planned, multiplayer was ultimately cut from the game.

What Happened to *Avowed*'s Planned Multiplayer?

The omission of multiplayer isn't a case of mistaken memory. Obsidian Entertainment initially intended to include co-op, but this feature was removed during development. Reports suggest the decision stemmed from a desire to focus development resources elsewhere, shifting priorities away from multiplayer implementation. While co-op was initially used as a marketing tool, the final product stands as a compelling single-player experience.

Is There an *Avowed* Co-op Mod?

Currently, no public Avowed co-op PC mod exists. While future mods are possible, creating such a mod is significantly more complex than other modding projects. Similar to Skyrim's co-op mod, which arrived years after release, such a mod for Avowed is not guaranteed, and Obsidian has confirmed they have no plans to add co-op post-launch.
