Friend and I were looking for our next co-op game after Remnant 2 (very good btw) and were somewhat eagerly awaiting this one. Turns out it has the same PvP invasion mechanic as the Souls game unless you play offline. That’s a deal-breaker for us unfortunately.

It gets better. According to Oroboro (popular pvp streamer), it looks like you can invade people of any level. Your stats will be scaled down but you can still use your overpowered gear and invade someone that just started playing.

Any idea what the co-op system is like? I don’t mind the invasions so much but I despise FromSoft’s multiplayer systems for co-oping with friends.

  Sounds like proper co-op, according to lordsofthefallen.com/co-op-multiplayer-hexworks-d…. No temporary summoning bullshit.
  
  Except the story progression does not carry over which seems to be the new norm recently.

    Thanks, this info is super useful. Story progression not carrying over isn’t a huge issue to me, so long as you’re allowed to keep playing with the host past where your own game world is. I never liked how dark souls required you to play levels multiple times in a row if you want to keep playing with friends.
    
    These two bits are really nice to see too
    
    When playing online, the host’s game world will reflect their progress in the storyline. As an accompanying player, you won’t advance your own story, but you’ll keep any items, levels, achievements, and currencies you earn during the online session. These will carry over when you return to your own game world.
    
    As a joining player, you have only one life. If you lose it, your body will fall to the ground and you’ll switch to spectator mode. The host has two options for resurrecting you: they can either interact with your fallen body on the spot, risking exposure to enemies as it’s not a quick ritual, or they can do so via a nearby Vestige.
