Many have compared *Avowed* to Obsidian's *Skyrim*, but it's arguably closer in spirit to their *Outer Worlds*—a first-person RPG with a strong narrative focus. A common question arises: Can you share this fantasy adventure with others? The simple answer is no; *Avowed* is a strictly single-player experience.
Does *Avowed* Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?
Avowed offers no multiplayer functionality whatsoever—no co-op, and no player-versus-player (PvP) combat. While you'll have companions to aid you, they're non-player characters (NPCs), mirroring the structure of The Outer Worlds. Similarly, all enemies are AI-controlled; there are no player invasions or other forms of multiplayer interaction.
What Happened to *Avowed*'s Planned Multiplayer?
If you recall Avowed being advertised with co-op, your memory isn't faulty. Obsidian initially planned to include it. However, during development, the decision was made to cut multiplayer features, citing a focus on other aspects of the game. While co-op was initially used to attract investors, the final product prioritizes a rich single-player experience.
Is There an *Avowed* Co-op Mod?
Currently, no public Avowed co-op PC mods exist. While future modding efforts remain a possibility, creating a functional co-op mod is a significantly complex undertaking. Even the popular co-op mod for Skyrim arrived years after its release. Obsidian has confirmed they have no plans to add official co-op post-launch.
