Is there any plans to add bigger parties in the future?

[Billy Boogie]

My Friends and I always have to split up into 2 separate parties because the max party size is 4 and we have 8 people. It would be cool if we could all party up and play as a party of 8.

[Prazon]

I support this

[Luminatio]

Yeah, I have a group of 6 friends who play this as well and it would be great if we could have the option to all play together! I understand that the core gameplay is balanced around 4 players, but maybe some of the larger maps can allow for more players?

I couldn't see more than four in a modern /farm house, and perhaps 6 in a high school map. The asylum map needs more people to cover the ground in the initial stage of the haunt, although I love the tension of everybody being on their toes while you search for the hot room.

But once the haunt room is found, I dunno how the mid to end game would play out with so many players.

[Zanleer]

this would be amazing but yes i agree it would have to be bigger maps.

You have to think though would you really be scared when you have a huge group of 8 people? the more people you add to a game actually lessens the horror aspect imo

I don’t know if I believe that walking around the asylum with three other people while we all split up and go into every single room multiple times for about an hour counts as “challenging”, all with no ghost activity - even when it’s in hunt mode. Seems more boring to me. I’m not sure if the party size is the problem or there just needs to be more ghost mechanics/features.

"this is another one of those sub 70iq suggestions that would ruin the game."

What does insulting someone's intelligence, or in general, do for you or anyone else for that matter? At least try to keep it civil.

But I agree, even though we have a party of 6-8 friends, we don't mind the 4 player limit and splitting up into groups. We knew what we signed up for when we bought this game, and it's still so much fun regardless.

are you actually braindead? no one is forcing you to actually do it. just give us the "ability" to do it, so that we can if we want. if you dont want it just dont ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do it. let us play it how we want. and then you can sit in your 4 player lobby none the wiser, its not gonna ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ruin it, for anyone. definetly not for you either

Sure, but only if you give up any EXP or money.

But no the real answer is there were mods that did this. The servers couldn't handle it. You'd be sacrificing stability for EVERYONE just so you could have your little friend group all together uwu

No. The game is balanced for 4 people.
Did you buy a Castlevania game and go 'My friends and all like this, but it'd be better with co-op! Can you just add a co-op mode?'

The game is made for 4 people. Not 5. Not 6. Not freaking 10, like some people have suggested.
You get 4 Pills. You bring 4 Strong Flashlights. The Ghosts ability to Hunt is a mathematical expression based on FOUR PEOPLE and the amount of things they can bring into the house.
Every person you add is bringing 3 more items, each. Which means less walking back and forth to the van, which means less time spent setting up, which means less sanity drain, which means less changes of a Hunt, which makes more than 4 people EZ mode.

Plus, the game to literally programmed for 4 people. When players were using a mod to up this number, it was making the game unplayable for other people's games.

It's not just changing a number. And it's flat out baffling that some people expect the devs to just throw all their work and game balance and their idea of the game out the window, and even spend time optimizing the game for more people, just to appease them.

Bet you're fun at parties.

i feel 4 is already a huge advantage that if you added more than that then youd need a bigger map than asylum to play on which took the guy a long time to even make.

Heaven forbid someone use logic in a thread begging the devs to throw out their game balance and vision.

That's how you know they have no actual counter to try and defend their "argument" when they try the "bet you're fun at parties" there's literally been countless evidence that this game physically CANNOT handle more than four people at any given time on a single map, something the developers themselves even acknowledge by removing the rooms that had "hey you can have up to 1000 players out of 4 in one party" because they were causing more harm than good!
