Avowed Multiplayer: The Answer Revealed

*Avowed* has been dubbed Obsidian Entertainment's *Skyrim*, but it's more akin to a fantasy rendition of their acclaimed *The Outer Worlds*. A common question among fans is whether this immersive adventure allows for multiplayer experiences. Let's dive into the details.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

*Avowed* does not feature multiplayer support, whether in co-op or player versus player (PvP) modes. You'll embark on your journey through this enchanting world with the assistance of companions, but these will be non-player characters (NPCs), similar to *The Outer Worlds*. The adversaries you encounter will also be exclusively AI-controlled, with no option for other players to invade your game, akin to *Sniper Elite*'s invasion feature. In short, *Avowed* offers no multiplayer elements – no PvP, no invasion mode, and no co-op mode. However, this wasn't always the plan.

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 multiplayer co-op in the game. However, as development progressed, they decided to shift their focus away from co-op, feeling it was too central to their initial plans (via Dexerto). This decision was partly influenced by the need to attract investors, who were initially drawn to the co-op aspect. Despite this change, *Avowed* remains a compelling single-player experience.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there are no known plans for a co-op mod for *Avowed* on PC. While it's possible that modders might eventually create one, the process would be significantly more complex than some of the more whimsical mods seen in games like *Skyrim*. For instance, *Skyrim* received a co-op mod years after its release, but Obsidian has confirmed they have no plans to add co-op functionality post-launch.

So, to sum up, *Avowed* does not support multiplayer in any form. It remains a rich, single-player journey through a fantastical world crafted by Obsidian Entertainment.
