Multiplayer news?

[MeltedLemonade]

I know the game is set to have multiplayer as well as DLC eventually, I just want to know if there are any new news on it. I don't want them to scrap the multiplayer idea it sounds truly incredible

[Nite69]

I wouldn't expect any for a while cause they are still doing fixes to the game as is

Im pretty sure ive read in a dev post around the release, that MP will be delivered in about 1 year after release.

Edit: Well i checked and cant find it anymore.

If its not set to have Multiplayer then explain this on the Store Page:
Weapons:

"Rhino Revolver “Model Competitor” (transferable to multiplayer)

Viper “Monolith” SMG (transferable to multiplayer)

Fora-221 Assault Rifle, “Lullaby” (transferable to multiplayer)

D12 Smoothbore Shotgun, “Margach D12MT” (transferable to multiplayer)"

Go back to Best Buy.

Listen to Grigorovych's interview. The machine gun was called PKP - so what?

Im 95% sure GSC will do what CP2077 did and axe multiplayer in a few months

No it is not set to have multiplayer so shut up and go play PUBG and other gay ♥♥♥♥ you stole from Best Buy. Multiplayer whine threads must be banned.

Educate yourself before writing nonsense next time please, there is supposed to be MP. Also sidenote, there was Multiplayer in the old ones aswell.

They should, to be honest, I don't think the multiplayer would add anything new that another existing game already has; unless it's a Co-op experience and if that so, they really need to keep on fixing and adding missing components to the base game, because really the game as it already is, is not bad, but they need reeaaally need to fix it.

Personally I don't see a multiplayer mode happening for this game ever. It's clear from a design and technical pov that multiplayer was not taken into account during development. They would need to completely redo the first person animations to not look silly in third person (look at Skif shadow when running without weapon for example, it's hilariously bad).
They would also need to do some miracles in terms of optimization as the game is currently terrible on that front, especially frame times. Nobody would bother playing an online mode with this much input latency, a multiplayer in these conditions is DOA.
As Big Black mentioned this is a CP77 situation, biting way more than they can chew here. They promised a lot and may have had great plans for an online mode, but technical aspects and development constraints will likely force them to cancel that.
Honestly I'd be impressed if they manage to release any single player paid expansion at all. I don't even see that happening given the current disastrous state of the game and how slow the patches are flowing (they fix a lot, but it actually doesn't amount to much when the biggest glaring technical issues are still there, and likely forever).

It's very likely not going to be open world MP. The earlier STALKER games had an arena shooter multiplayer mode and this is likely what STALKER 2 will have

I don't wanna sound like the regular troll or Alex Jones fanboy but considering that they planned to add NFT on early stages of development who knows what their future plans actually are, and how terrible those plans might or might not be.

Yeah, hahaha, that's what I mean by really fixing the game, it is extremely painful to watch it whenever you sprint, check out those animation while holding a gun, it's clear they're using the rendered model that you see holding the gun to cast those shadows instead of turning that shadow off and using an invisible model to cast a shadow while communicating with the main animation when to run secondary animations for the shadow.
