Don’t Nod’s current release has a dual protagonist system, prompting speculation regarding the presence of co-op in Banishers Ghosts of New Eden. Unfortunately, for those hoping to play the game with a friend, the answer is no.
Let’s look at why the game doesn’t have a multiplayer co-op option and whether it will have one in the future.
Is Banishers Ghosts of New Eden Multiplayer?
Banishers Ghosts of New Eden does not yet support co-op, and the game is only available in single-player mode.
The game lacks co-op since the story will be told through the perspectives of both characters, Red and Antea. Banishers Ghosts of New Eden, like Alan Wake 2, will swap between protagonists depending on the chapter.
In contrast to the studio’s previous products, Don’t Nod’s current title has a sophisticated narrative-driven scenario. Thus, it is quite understandable that the makers did not include a co-op mode in Banishers Ghosts of New Eden, since the company intended players to experience both Red and Antea’s journeys.
Will the Devs Eventually Introduce a Multiplayer Feature to Banishers Ghosts of New Eden?
It is quite doubtful that Banishers Ghosts of New Eden will have multiplayer support in the future. Don’t Nod’s earlier products were all single-player focused, offering gamers a pure story-driven narrative experience.
The Vampyr and Life are Strange series lacked multiplayer components, and this appears to be the case with the studio’s next release as well.
Given how the company plans its next expansions, the creators might include multiplayer co-op in Banishers Ghosts of New Eden, although this is unlikely to happen.
