You would have to ask Fatshark, which is what we’ve been trying to do for the last what 3-4ish years by now.

The last official statement was done in the Community Update #5

> [@Community Update #5: Week 2](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/community-update-5-week-2/67057/1):
>
> ## Private Play (and Solo)
> 
> Starting next week, with 2 or more players in the strike team, players will be able to opt into playing privately via the mission board. This will prevent players who are not friends of a strike team member from hot joining the squad during a mission in progress.
> 
> If the squad is all disconnected and a player is left alone when the reservation time expires, the mission will become public.
> 
> As for Solo Mode, we are actively working on it. While it technically could work now, we are not happy with its state yet, and we want to ensure the solo experience lives up to your expectations. Right now, it does not, and we would do the game a disservice by implementing it.

Other than that, there have been two off-hand comments From the CM FatsharkCatFish.

One in March 2023

> Hi, we don’t currently have any further news on Solo play right now.  
> It’s still in development but we are prioritizing things like progression, content, stability and such right now.

And one in October 2023

> Right now solo play is not a priority as Darktide is a co-op game first and foremost - however we might return to it, so i’ll be sure to forward on your sentiments!
