I think this is overall good news. There's nothing wrong with multiplayer, in fact its amazing, but there were quite a few titles last gen that wasted time and resources and awful multiplayer components that no one ever played.
There's nothing wrong with branching into multiplayer as long as the quality is high and there's a legitimate reason to do so. For me the two games that really got it right in terms of branching out were Mass Effect 3 and The Last of Us. Both modes felt naturally part of the experience.
