Many have compared *Avowed* to Obsidian's *Skyrim*, but it's arguably closer in spirit to their *Outer Worlds*. One key difference? *Avowed* is a strictly solo experience. This means no multiplayer, co-op, or PvP. You'll have companions to aid you, but they'll be non-player characters (NPCs), similar to *The Outer Worlds* gameplay. Every enemy, regardless of strength, is AI-controlled. There's no invasion mechanic like in *Sniper Elite*, nor any other form of multiplayer interaction.

While the absence of multiplayer might seem disappointing, it's important to note that co-op was initially planned. However, Obsidian Entertainment later dropped this feature, citing a focus on other aspects of development (via Dexerto). This decision, though initially marketed to investors, ultimately shapes *Avowed* into a focused, single-player adventure.
Currently, there's no indication of any *Avowed* co-op mods in development. While a community-created co-op mod is theoretically possible (similar to *Skyrim*'s eventual co-op mod), it would require significant effort. Furthermore, Obsidian has no plans to add official multiplayer functionality post-launch.
