Avowed: Multiplayer Confirmed?

Obsidian's *Avowed* has been compared to both *Skyrim* and *The Outer Worlds*, but one key difference is its lack of multiplayer. Many have wondered if you can share the fantasy adventure with friends. The short answer is no; *Avowed* is a strictly single-player experience.

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

No, Avowed does not offer any form of multiplayer, whether co-op or player-versus-player (PvP). While you'll have companions to assist you, these will be non-player characters (NPCs), similar to the companions in The Outer Worlds. All enemies are also AI-controlled. There's no invasion mode or any other multiplayer features planned. However, it's worth noting that multiplayer was initially considered during development.

What Happened to *Avowed*'s Planned Multiplayer?

Early in development, Obsidian Entertainment did intend to include co-op functionality. However, this feature was later cut, with the studio citing a focus on other aspects of the game. While co-op was initially used to attract investors, Obsidian has confirmed there are no plans to add it post-launch.

Is There an *Avowed* Co-Op Mod?

Currently, no public Avowed co-op mods exist. While it's possible a community mod could emerge in the future (similar to those created for Skyrim), Obsidian has stated they won't be adding official co-op support. Creating such a mod is a significant undertaking, far more complex than simply altering in-game elements.
