It’s almost as if Inflexion made its latest dev blog for us, as in for the MMO and multiplayer-loving segment of gaming: Nightingale has offered a general overview of how multiplayer will work in the gaslamp fantasy survivalbox, promising players “there’s no limit to what you can achieve as a team,” whether it’s building manors or slaying apex creatures.
Multiplayer will let up to six players come together in either a public realm or private, though all players who wish to team up together will need to complete a tutorial segment up to the point they arrive in their starting Abeyance Realm. After that point, invites can be sent to friends and the option to make the game public or not can be set.
The post further notes that there aren’t any level restrictions (but warns that higher-level players will want to care for lower-level ones) and does reference that public games will let arriving players build or destroy things; whether there will be controls or restrictions on building access isn’t elaborated on.
As far as activities, Nightingale multiplayer will let folks place respite cairns to establish a home realm that can be returned to or played within at any time, take on quests together (though quest steps have to be completed individually), or battle apex monsters to share in rewards. Speaking of sharing, players can simply drop loot for others to pick up and loot chests from completed encounters will be instanced, though chests found in the realms will be open for all. For the most part, cooperation looks to be the name of the multiplayer game when early access starts on February 22nd, 2024.
