The studio took to Twitter to engage with fan concerns, where it admitted that while there was nothing official to announce, things weren't looking particularly positive.
@cryohydrates I don't have anything, like, OFFICIAL to announce, but my understanding is that it's looking less likely. Waiting for details.

@haddenhawk There was no promise. We said we wanted to, it killed us to cut it, and we had hopes for the future. Those things are all true.

@haddenhawk But I don't know what the future holds, and it is looking unlikely right now.What do you think? Are you upset that you won't be able to play the game with your mates, or are you just happy that there's an excellent single-player experience you can still enjoy? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Luke Karmali is IGN's UK Junior Editor. You too can revel in mediocrity by following him on IGN and on Twitter.
