Back 4 Blood Will Require An Always Online Internet Connection And That's Terrible - Kotaku

In a response to someone asking about why the game says it requires an internet connection on the PSN store, Turtle Rock confirmed there will be no offline mode at launch.

With no offline mode, this means you won’t be able to play the game, even all by lonesome.

If Turtle Rock is unable to patch in an offline mode, there’s a very real chance that if the game’s servers get shut down one day it will be impossible to play Back 4 Blood.

I really hope Turtle Rock is able to eventually patch in some support for offline play, so that the game can remain playable years and years after the servers are killed.

All online games that can support an offline mode should have one.

What’s an online only multiplayer game that hasn’t had a botched launch?
