Mark Darrah, Executive Producer for the game, talked about the way the game weaves multiplayer and solo strands of the game together, so that the story and the gameplay both function effectively.

Whilst the world is multiplayer, meaning you can be social as you gun down enemies and fight bosses for loot, the world hubs are individual. This means when you go to complete quests and sell loot you'll be alone, and can experience the story and characters on your own terms.

The gameplay shown, however, makes it seem like multiplayer is a central part of the game. A group of 4 heroes explore and fight together, not a million miles away from the way something like Destiny plays.

I'm based in the UK, looking to make a career out of writing about entertainment and culture. The only thing I like as much as watching films, playing games or listening to music is enjoying as much hummus and crisps as I can while I do so. My favourite film is Eddie the Eagle and I like any game that lets me wander around beautiful worlds (or eat hummus and crisps).
