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. A common question arises: can you share this adventure with friends? The simple answer is no; *Avowed* is a strictly single-player experience.

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

Avowed offers no multiplayer functionality, neither co-op nor player-versus-player (PvP). You'll journey through the fantasy world with companions, but these will be non-playable characters (NPCs), mirroring the structure of The Outer Worlds. Expect AI-controlled enemies throughout your adventure—no other players will invade your game, nor will you be able to join others' worlds. While initially conceived differently, Avowed ultimately launched as a solo experience.

What Happened to *Avowed*'s Planned Multiplayer?

The absence of multiplayer isn't a recent change. Obsidian Entertainment initially planned to include co-op, even using it as a marketing point for investors. However, during development, they shifted focus, citing a need to concentrate on other aspects of the game. While the decision may have disappointed some, Avowed's single-player focus ultimately shaped its identity.

Is There an *Avowed* Co-op Mod?

Currently, there's no publicly known co-op mod for Avowed. While future modding efforts might explore this possibility, it's a significant undertaking. Remember, even popular games like Skyrim received co-op mods considerably after their initial release. Obsidian has also confirmed they aren't planning to add co-op post-launch.
