*Avowed* has been dubbed Obsidian Entertainment's *Skyrim*, but it's more akin to a fantasy rendition of their game *The Outer Worlds*. A common question among fans is whether *Avowed* offers a multiplayer experience, allowing others to join the adventure. Let's dive into the details.
Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?
*Avowed* does not feature multiplayer, whether it's co-op or player versus player modes. While you'll embark on a thrilling journey through its fantasy world, your companions will solely be NPCs, reminiscent of the setup in *The Outer Worlds*. The adversaries you'll encounter, no matter how formidable, are all controlled by the game's AI. Unlike games such as *Sniper Elite*, there's no invasion feature where other players can disrupt your gameplay. To put it plainly, *Avowed* offers no form of multiplayer – no PvP, no invasion mode, and no co-op. 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 incorporate multiplayer into the game. But as development progressed, they shifted their focus, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" (as reported by Dexerto). Co-op was initially pitched as a selling point to attract investors. While it's unclear how investors felt about this change, *Avowed* stands strong on its own without needing multiplayer.
Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?
As of now, no one has publicly announced plans for an *Avowed* co-op mod for PC. While it's within the realm of possibility that such a mod could emerge eventually, creating one is a significant undertaking, far more complex than, say, modding dragons into Macho Man Randy Savage in other games. For context, even *Skyrim* received a co-op mod years after its initial release. However, Obsidian has no plans to add co-op to *Avowed* post-launch.
So, to answer the burning question: *Avowed* does not support multiplayer in any form. Enjoy your solo adventure in this captivating fantasy world!
