Ken Levine's Twitter feed reveals that
BioShock Infinite will not include any form of multiplayer support. The designer
expressed skepticism early on about the inclusion of multiplayer in Irrational's shooter sequel, though
a recent job posting seemed to indicate it would indeed be part of the game. Now in a series of responses to questions about multiplayer support, he puts several nails in the coffin for this prospect, saying:
Nope,
No Multi,
No MP in Infinite to being badgered about the prospect, leading to an
exasperated retweet: "Thank sweet baby Jesus no multi ---That's exactly the reason we don't have it. That kid is persistent." Thanks nin via
Kotaku.

I played through the majority of the game co-op on a LAN. Agreed, this is actually the only way I've ever played through the game. The annual three-way System Shock 2 co-op sessions my local LAN group has are the things of legend.
I do concur that competitive multiplayer might not be a super good fit for BS: Infinite, but I do find myself wishing it would have co-op play implemented, just because co-op in SS2 was so darned fun. I always wished the previous Bioshock releases had co-op as well. |
