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 rich fantasy setting. But one burning question remains: can you share this adventure with friends? 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 whatsoever—no co-op, no player-versus-player combat, and no invasion mechanics. While you'll have companions to aid you, they're non-player characters (NPCs), mirroring the structure of The Outer Worlds. Every enemy encounter will be against AI-controlled opponents.
What Happened to *Avowed*'s Planned Multiplayer?
If you recall Avowed being advertised with co-op features, it's not a false memory. Obsidian initially planned to include multiplayer, but ultimately dropped it during development, citing a focus on other aspects of the game. While co-op was initially used to attract investors, the decision to remove it doesn't necessarily detract from the core experience.
Is There an *Avowed* Co-op Mod?
Currently, no public Avowed co-op PC mods exist. While the possibility remains, creating such a mod is a significant undertaking. Similar to the long wait for a Skyrim co-op mod, it's unlikely to appear anytime soon, and Obsidian has confirmed they have no plans to add co-op post-launch.
