While it's not there yet, the developers have confirmed a co-op multiplayer system will soon be implemented. The game will support a four-player co-op multiplayer, allowing players to explore and play together in the game's world. The co-op mode isn't available during the game's Early Access phase, but it will be introduced with Patch 1.

A recent forum discussion about No Rest for the Wicked co-op prompted one of the developers to respond to questions from the community. In his replies, he dropped some information about the upcoming game as well as the multiplayer aspects. With this information, we can paint a picture of what the co-op may be like in the game.

Based on what we currently know, the number of players in the region will determine how strong and how much damage an enemy can deal. The more participants there are, the more adversaries there will be. This implies that there may not be a traditional difficulty system in the co-op mode, but it will have a dynamic resistance curve.

Previously, the developers dropped hints that the game is planned with multiplayer in mind at every step of its development cycle. While no framework has been revealed yet, some speculated the co-op could be inspired by Baldur’s Gate 3’s systems, where players could band together with friends to build their parties.
