Crossed out the games that I suppose that are quite likely to have some form of multiplayer component. I wouldn't be so sure that they are single player only. |
Eh, I really really doubt that Starfield or TES 6 will have a multiplayer component, I could have sworn Starfield is already confirmed to be single-player only anyway, I COULD see a "Starfield 76" releasing later but that's not really the same thing. Elder Scrolls won't have multiplayer, Bethesda already has enough on its plate and that's what Elder Scrolls Online is for. Next ID Software title will definitely have multiplayer, will probably suck though. Fable will have multiplayer, the originals had multiplayer, there will 100% be some sort of co-op experience, I have no doubt there, I imagine something like Forza Horizon has but for Fable. InXile I'm honestly not sure about, Brian Fargo and InXile rarely have made multiplayer titles AFAIK, doesn't seem to be something they're very interested in, the Obsidian leaker on Era describes their AAA RPG as something very focused, I'm not sure if they'll toss multiplayer on-top of it, I'm leaning towards no for their AAA but maybe co-op stuff for their AA (if it's AA). I also can't see Avowed having multiplayer at all, no indications, only rumours say it's basically Pillars of Eternity in Elder Scrolls form, we'll see but I'm leaning towards no there. But I suppose like you said "some form of multiplayer component" could be anything, could be something as non-intrusive as Dark Souls multiplayer, or some co-op functions, stuff like that doesn't really botherme. |
I don't know but something just tells me that Starfield and TES 6 are among those games that are the most likely to get some sort of multiplayer. Just a feeling. Who knows, maybe it will be SP only after all. It's just extremely uncommon for such big games to not have MP unless it's a SIE published game.
id Software better stay away from MP no matter what they do next but unfortunately I think they still will. Which is a shame as Doom 2016 and Eternal has shown and it's simply a waste of time and resources because they can't come up with interesting ideas that will be interesting to at least anyone, thus making all these efforts go to waste.
P.S. Congrats on hitting 25k ports. Quite a milestone.

Lol, what are we talking about exactly when we say multiplayer? Cause Fable will 100% have some sort of co-op experience, do you mean that or...? |
I guess co-op counts as multiplayer if it's online co-op, if it's just couch co-op I'd say it doesn't count. I haven't seen any online specific positions on the Fable team at Playground when I've looked at their jobs website (they separate their positions by project), and their Forza team does have online specific positions, so at the very least we can rule out a shared world for Fable like Forza Horizon has, but online drop-in, drop-out co-op could happen possibly. |
Of course I mean online co-op by MP. Couch co-op is such a rarity these days, unfortunately that it is out of question. I guess none of these games will have couch co op except Halo. Would like to be wrong here,
