Project Mugen has multiplayer, but with a twist

Questioning if Undertaking Mugen may have multiplayer or co-op? Talking solely to PCGamesN at Tokyo Sport Present 2023, Bare Rain’s lead producer for Undertaking Mugen, Ash Qi, reveals that there’ll, certainly, be multiplayer, nevertheless it’s acquired slightly little bit of a twist to it.

Project Mugen appears completely spectacular, and I need to have the ability to get pleasure from it with my pals. Channeling the sci-fi aesthetic of my all-time favourite anime game, Honkai Star Rail, fused with the Spider-Man-style traversal of PlayStation’s epic superhero collection, Bare Rain has created one thing that appears prefer it’ll be actually, actually particular.

Does Undertaking Mugen have multiplayer?

Briefly, sure, Undertaking Mugen does have multiplayer, as confirmed by Qi in a PCGamesN unique interview.

Qi does spotlight, nonetheless, that Undertaking Mugen nonetheless has a robust deal with solo play. “Undertaking Mugen could be primarily thought to be a single-player game,” they inform PCGamesN. “Nevertheless, the sport is accessible for 4 on-line gamers.”

They go on to make clear that Undertaking Mugen is “not a MMORPG,” however highlights that the staff “hopes that gamers can benefit from the recreation with their pals on-line. Identical to you’ll be able to play, for instance, Chinese language mahjong with AI or with your pals in actual life.”

And it’s music to my ears. Whereas I may by no means actually choose Genshin Affect, I’ve performed an entire lot of Honkai Star Rail, and I miss not having the ability to play it with my pals. Undertaking Mugen and Honkai really feel like they’re on the identical path, however for me the inclusion of multiplayer is a giant inexperienced tick – particularly given the truth that the universe is, to cite Qi, “an unlimited and immersive open world that encourages thorough exploration.”

The Project Mugen release date can’t come quick sufficient for me, however within the meantime take a look at another multiplayer games or, alternatively, our record of the very best cyberpunk games in the event you love that neon-bathed, grungy aesthetic.
