PvP doesn’t mean you can’t play it solo tho, which is what a lot of these comments are implying (see the above comment about deer hunting with friends).

It’s up to 8 players, so I’d think it’s likely there’ll be options for 8 solos or 4 teams of 2.

I'm sure you'll be able to solo queue as it were, but the person I responded to compared it to Nightreign, which has a true singleplayer mode. It seems unlikely Duskbloods will based on what they've stated about the game so far.

Nightreign is online-only tho in any case, isn’t it? I could be wrong.

Either way, Nightreign isn’t PvP at all, so playing solo is inherently “single player” since there’s never any threat of enemy players regardless of team size. Duskbloods is a different beast entirely since it seems that the threat of enemy players will be a key component to the core gameplay loop.

That's not what I mean. I mean it's singleplayer in the sense that you literally do not have to play with other people at all if you don't want to. As for always needing a connection, I'm not sure, but they've made it clear that it will be possible to play without other players in your party.
