The Recreation Awards delivered a slew of surprising announcements this year, but none were more astonishing than [blank], a standalone co-op title set in the beloved [insert universe name] universe. Ultimately, multiplayer hasn’t been a primary focus for FromSoftware, despite some of their games featuring well-received multiplayer elements; nonetheless, the upcoming title is undoubtedly designed as a multiplayer experience, with the developer emphasizing that it won’t follow the live-service model.
According to PC Gamer, Junya Ishizaki, the co-op title’s director, clarified that their studio is not developing a live-service game, instead aiming to deliver a “complete product” upon initial release.
To deliver a comprehensive gaming experience, we aimed to craft a sport that offers everything in one purchase, allowing players to access all its content from the moment they buy it, without any restrictions or hidden fees. He described it as a far cry from the traditional notion of a dwelling service sport.
While FromSoftware’s immediate priority is releasing the game, they haven’t solidified their post-launch strategy yet. Once the title hits shelves, however, they’ll reassess and decide on a course of action to move forward. Gamers can reasonably expect steady updates and patches to arrive at any time, regardless of post-launch plans, as necessary.
“After all, we’re focusing on discharging what’s most important first,” Ishizaki emphasized. We will address any concerns that arise after the sport’s launch. Going forward, post-release updates – specifically steady stability and issue fixes like those we’ve handled in earlier titles – will undoubtedly take priority. Despite everything, we’re still stuck in the mindset of craving possibilities.
Moreover, FromSoftware has officially stated that the cooperative game will have a non-full-price launch. You may anticipate that it will be priced similarly to growth, currently priced at $39.99.
The game is growing its presence across multiple platforms, including the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
