A new trailer just released of the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games! Luckily this trailer shows us more information than we were expecting but there’s still a lot unknown about this new game. One thing we do know is Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will have multiplayer and its different than what we’ve seen in past games. Here’s what we know so far about Multiplayer in Scarlet and Violet.
Will Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Be Multiplayer?
In recent previous mainline Pokemon games, multiplayer features have been primarily limited to raid battles and trading. This time around GameFreak is working on something a little more cooperative. We can clearly see in the trailer that there are multiple players roaming around together and even split paths at one point as all players run around different environments in the same world. This suggests we can explore an open world environment with our friends. This online multiplayer feature seems to be limited to 4 player co-op, so you can play with 4 people at a time. There may even be missions you can do with your friends and other players but it’s not yet clear. The trailer also shows players trading with Friends which is an important feature as well.
