Does Lords of the Fallen have multiplayer & co-op?
Lords of the Fallen is the latest entry into the Soulslike genre and many fans will be wondering if it includes any form of multiplayer or coop - so here's what you need to know.

The game is incredibly challenging, like many of the RPGs in this genre are, so bringing in a pal or even a stranger could go a long way to helping you beat some of the tougher bosses on offer. So, let’s dive into whether or not Lords of the Fallen has multiplayer and co-op, or if the latest entry in the series is single-player like its predecessor.

Not only is multiplayer part of the game, but you can invite a friend to play through the whole game with you - not just summoning them in for the bosses - something we haven't seen on many Soulslikes. What's more, you can also invade other players' worlds and take them on, hopefully proving to be stronger than your opponent.
That's not all, though either, as you're also going to be more at risk of being invaded by other gamers as you progress through Lords of the Fallen.
