Will this game have multiplayer coop eventually?

What the title says

[Anderson]

highly unlikely. This is a single-player, story-based experience wrapped around Rogue-like mechanic. I wouldn't hold my breath for Co Op.

Hopefully

That's a shame. btw do you know when the game will officially release? the version 1.0 is coming soon I hear?

[Anderson]

It is slated for "this fall". This is not very precise, but they also stated that they are pushing the cross-saves update to "later this year", after the 1.0 version. So my guess is, expect 1.0 in October/early November, and the cross-saves update for December, assuming nothing else goes wrong.

I mean, I'd love a multiplayer coop, but adjusting the game to that and programming a network code is no joke.

Is Hades a multiplayer game, or are there any plans for multiplayer?
Hades is a single-player game. We have no plans to add multiplayer, as we have been building the design and narrative of Hades with a solo experience in mind.

I ran across this game and got super psyched to play with my friends. Will definitely pick it up for myself and friends if it does get co-op story mode.

Coop will be Awesome and a real buy reason for me.

Sadl, they say in their FAQ that there will be no multiplayer support :( sorry

Is it really that difficult to just enjoy a single player game experience all by your lonesome?

I don't know, I didnt even played the game yet (downloading) but I felt that coop would be cool but not mandatory at all I wouldnt put my hopes on but I thought it would be great but I really might be wrong knowing the fact I didnt even played the game yet. But when I watched the trailer I was hyped to see if I could play with my bro or my friend because it felt like it would be dope af!

I wasn't trying to be a jerk, and I apologise. It was an offhand comment.

After having played a little, I have to admit that coop will be hard for various ways in the same screen because you move a tons its crazy. But multiplayer via Online will give another set of challenges, balancing boons for coop and the entire game might be hard as hell but I think it might have atleast some potential. On top of that making a good netcode, etc ,etc. Runs can be very long too so they have to find a way to save and play later or something. Ambitious but honestly extremely hard I must say. The game is absolutely fun to play but hella hard. Died 4 times to the Bone boss in the lava area (2nd area) but I went further. The learning curve and the tuning of the progression is perfect! 10/10 for now!

I was about to buy it, but with no perspective of multiplayer support, it's a no-go. This game would rock with an online co-op option. But at least the developer is honest about it and doesn't hold on false promises.

I think its mostly the boon system that would be a problem. If you both share boons its trash because you have probably different playstyles and weapons. If you don't , sharing boons between 2 people is awful for doing builds. I think everything should apply to both players daedlus hammer and chaos etc etc. But boons needs to be individual. Its complicated seriously.
