Any plans to add local multiplayer?
Title says it all. Interested to know if the devs would consider this request.

Shame. It could be a glorious experience playing in co-op with a buddy.

Not at launch.

No plans for local multiplayer at this time.

I hope it's something you'll consider. At the very least, it's worth implementing in the Nintendo Switch version.

Yeah, it would be cool to have something for Switch.

We'll think about it but the game is very much a single-player experience.

I love the game like it is, and I'm not going to play with a friend to complete it, but I would love to guide him at the begining, fight one versus the other, see who can get to a place faster...

That... is why I don't want multiplayer.

I can see the allure of coop, but can hardly imagine it in this game...
I mean, it would have to be shoehorned into the story somehow.

Multiplayer in this game is like multiplayer in the first Sonic games. It's one of those things you scratch your head and wonder why? Have you ever played as Tails when your friend played as Sonic? It's an experience of total borefest and frustration because you want to go one way, and your friend wants to go another, and he will always get preferential treatment because he's player 1. That's no fun. Eventually you just give up the controller and opt to just watch him play instead because that's actually more fun that being frustrated at every turn.

I just don't understand why every single game in existence needs to be multiplayer. Some games are meant to be single player and to force it into a multiplayer mould makes it a worse game. Hey, why not make Witcher 3 local Coop and you can play as Geralt's Sword? I'll play as Geralt and go with a full magic build.

There are ways to make this game better, but multiplayer is not it.

I don't want a complex multiplayer, just a main character clone (I understand that Team Cherry doesn't want to do it that way). I love this game, and I want to talk about it to my friends, but they only care about the games they play, and they're not going to buy a game to play alone.
And again, I don't want a coop campaign, i Just want two players at the same time.

But wouldn't it be funny, for example: "Hey, see that creaure over there? (Which is a hard boss) Why don't you try to kill it?" and then see them srugling.

Burnout is also a singleplayer game, and I enjoy going to freeburn with my friend
