No Multiplayer For The Order: 1886
The Order: 1886 developer Ready at Dawn has confirmed that the late 2014 PlayStation 4 title will be single-player only.
When we did the cover story on the game back in the fall of last year, developers at Ready at Dawn hadn't made a decision on whether to include multiplayer. "At the end of the day, we want to do right by the IP first," Wu Weerasuriya, the game's creative director, told us when discussing the topic.
Confirmation comes from an interview Weerasuriya did with German website play3.de, where Weerasuriya describes the game as a "single-player action game." Later, Ready at Dawn founder Andrea Pessino confirmed the info in a tweet.

Our Take:
We have no problem with a developer making a decision like this in the best interest of the game as a whole.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
