Question about how many Players can be in a group

[Stinky Rat]

I wanted to know if i can play this as 2 People or if im stuck with a 3rd random joining for every try.
I know you can solo and go as a group of 3 but can i also be in a group of 2?

[Capt. Stabbin]

Sadly no. I was pretty disappointed by that fact, but yea, from the interview with the director, he said it was either solo, or 3 players. So if you wanted to only do 2 player, you may be stuck with one random. Hopefully we can get only 2 down the road, for those that wanna do 2. Least from my understanding.

"Junya Ishizaki: The game is designed to be played as a three-person team, but you can play it as a solo player.

IGN: Oh, great. Or in a pair?

Junya Ishizaki: No, it's either one-player or three-player."

Yeah, I'm out.

One or three only was a stupid choice. Every Souls game you can summon to duo bosses, but not the game focused on co-op… if they don’t add duo option, my friend and I just won’t buy it.
