I guess we'll still need mods for FromSoftware games.

It's still unclear to me if you are always a trio.

Is "solo" you + 2 bots?

Can you play as 2 friends + 1 bot or 1 random player?

From the original interview:

IGN: Sure. [Laughs] Back to the game, one thing that wasn’t clear to me yesterday. Do you have to play it online in a group of three, or can you also play it solo or in a duo?

Junya Ishizaki: The game is designed to be played as a three-person team, but you can play it as a solo player.

IGN: Oh, great. Or in a pair?

Junya Ishizaki: No, it's either one-player or three-player.

So it's either single player or three humans.

I don't know what it is with Japanese devs and arbitrary multiplayer decisions. The way Capcom handles Monster Hunter's multiplayer continues to baffle me.

From a PC gaming perspective, it feels like Western developers decided to just give players multiple options to play together all the way back in the 1990's. This sort of thing always feels badly regressive to me.
