173 weeks or 1211 days have passed since Fatshark said you can play Darktide solo [image]Community Update #1: Pre-Order Beta Hotfix 1.0.6 Now we are confident in our Dedicated Servers, we would like to take the time and answer those recurring couple of questions that remain; “Can I play Darktide solo?”, “Can I play a private game with one or two of my friends?”. The answers will be Yes, and Yes. We’ve been working on an option to play exclusively in Solo Mode, where you will be hosting locally your own instance with bots. Because you will be hosting the AI and other game systems locally, this will increase performance cost. However, we continue to monitor and improve the performance where we can. Solo play is in its final stages of testing as we fix the last issues that remain. We aim to release this at Launch. If not, a patch shortly after that in December.

I, uh, wouldn’t wait for that solution.
