Why there is no co-op in Banishers Ghosts of New Eden

The game lacks co-op because the narrative will take place from the eyes of both the protagonists, Red and Antea. Similar to titles such as Alan Wake 2, Banishers Ghosts of New Eden will switch between the protagonists based on each chapter.

Don't Nod's latest title offer a deep narrative-driven plot compared to the studio's prior offerings. Thus, it makes complete sense why the developers did not integrate a co-op in Banishers Ghosts of New Eden, as the studio wanted players to experience the journey of both Red and Antea.

Will the developers add any multiplayer mode in Banishers Ghosts of New Eden in the future?

Banishers Ghosts of New Eden receiving any multiplayer in the future is highly unlikely. Don't Nod's previous titles have been strictly single-player focused as each provided a pure story-driven narrative experience to players. Both Vampyr and Life is Strange series lacked any multiplayer components, and this seems to be the same case for the studio's latest offering as well.

The developers could add a multiplayer co-op in Banishers Ghosts of New Eden, given the studio designs the upcoming expansions in such a way, but that will most likely not be the case.
