Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will include four-player co-op in addition to its regular trading and battling multiplayer.
Announced on the games’ website following the unveiling of its release date in a new trailer, Scarlet and Violet promise “a deeper experience with multiplayer gameplay”.
Scarlet and Violet will be open world games, and players will be able to visit areas in any order, without the story gating progress.
It seems very possible that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet may allow players to join each other’s games not just to explore, but also battle and trade.
