If you're eagerly anticipating *Avowed* and wondering if it's Obsidian Entertainment's answer to *Skyrim*, think again. While it's steeped in fantasy, *Avowed* is more akin to the developer's *The Outer Worlds*. But what about sharing the adventure with friends? Is *Avowed* multiplayer? Let's dive into the details.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Unfortunately, *Avowed* does not support multiplayer, be it co-op or PvP. You'll embark on your journey alone, with only NPCs as your companions, similar to *The Outer Worlds*. These companions will assist you, but they're all controlled by the computer. Additionally, the enemies you'll face, no matter their strength, are also AI-driven. There's no feature akin to *Sniper Elite*'s invasion mode where other players can disrupt your game. In short, *Avowed* is strictly a single-player experience with no multiplayer elements at all. However, it wasn't always meant to be this way.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall *Avowed* being touted with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Obsidian Entertainment did initially plan 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). Co-op was used as a selling point to attract investors, but ultimately, the decision was made to prioritize the single-player experience. Hopefully, the investors weren't too disappointed, but *Avowed* stands strong on its own merits without needing multiplayer.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there's no word on any *Avowed* co-op mod for PC. While it's possible that modders might eventually create one, it's a complex task compared to simpler mods like turning dragons into Macho Man Randy Savage. For comparison, *Skyrim* received a co-op mod years after its release, but Obsidian has no plans to officially add co-op to *Avowed* post-launch.

So, to sum it up, *Avowed* does not feature any form of multiplayer support. It's a solo adventure through a rich fantasy world, crafted by Obsidian Entertainment for you to enjoy on your own.
