Everything is better with a friend, especially cozy farming simulators. Can you bring a friend to Coral Island, is it Multiplayer? Let’s see.
Coral Island is finally out. Fans everywhere flock to the game to sow crops, meet the locals, and explore the ocean bed. The game was in Early Access until recently, and that was strictly single-player. Is it the same now, after the full release, or is Coral Island Multiplayer now?
Can You Play Coral Island in Multiplayer?
The short answer is, unfortunately, not now. What does that mean? The game is single-player at the moment, but, Multiplayer is in the works. One of the stretch goals of their Kickstarter campaign was Multiplayer and sure enough, it has been reached. There will be two types of Multiplayer: Online Multiplayer and Split-Screen Co-Op. Up to four players will be supported. The Developers stated “Yes, we hit our Stretch Goal in Kickstarter and the initial plan is for Multiplayer to be part of patch update after the Full Release. The first step would be to implement an Island visit…until the full co-op/Multiplayer we have promised.” So when can bring some friends along?
When Is Multiplayer Coming?
There is no official date for Coral Island Multiplayer. But, on the official Roadmap, the Multiplayer Update is right after the official 1.0 release. Since the game was released a couple of days ago it is safe to assume the Multiplayer Update will be somewhere in 2024. Hopefully in the first half of the year. The Multiplayer option was planned to be a part of the official release, but things don’t always go as planned, and Stairway Games had to delay it.
For now, you will have to explore Coral Island alone, but that is the perfect opportunity to learn the ropes of the game, before hopping in with a buddy. For more articles on Coral Island, take a look at How to Get Hardwood, How to Save the Game, and How to Get Shallots.
