Avowed's Multiplayer Unveiled

Avowed: A Single-Player Fantasy Adventure

Avowed has been compared to Skyrim, but its gameplay is more akin to Obsidian's The Outer Worlds—a single-player experience. This means there's no multiplayer functionality. Let's delve into the details.

Does Avowed Offer Multiplayer?

No. Avowed does not support multiplayer in any form: no co-op, no PvP, and no player invasions. While you'll have companions to assist you, they are all non-player characters (NPCs), similar to The Outer Worlds. All enemies are also AI-controlled.

Avowed's Abandoned Multiplayer Plans

Initially, Obsidian Entertainment intended to include co-op functionality in Avowed. However, this feature was cut during development, with the developer citing a focus on other aspects of the game.

The Future of Avowed Multiplayer

Currently, there are no plans from Obsidian to add multiplayer features post-launch. While a community-created co-op mod for PC is theoretically possible, none have yet emerged, and the complexity of such an undertaking should not be underestimated. This contrasts with Skyrim, which received a co-op mod years after its release.

In short: Avowed is a strictly single-player experience.
