Focus on stand-alone development! Multiplayer mode may miss the first release of "Sheep Hoof Mountain"

Jul 25 2025

  In a recent interview, Nate Fox, the creative director of "Soul of Sheep Hoof Mountain", and Jason Connell revealed that the popular multiplayer mode of the previous work may not be launched simultaneously with the new work. Although the production team expressed "extremely satisfied" with the success of "Soul of Tsushima" in the multiplayer mode, they are currently working on the development of stand-alone content that will be released in October. This statement casts shadow on the prospect of the return of multiplayer mode, but does not completely rule out the possibility of future updates.

Recalling the "Qi Tan" mode launched in 2020, its four-player cooperative gameplay with Japanese mythology as the background has brought surprises to players. This mode not only includes a special career system, but also continuously expands the game experience through the subsequent gameplay updated through "Director Editing Edition". Although Fox avoided the direct response to the new multiplayer mode, considering that the previous mode was also added after the sale, players can still expect "Soul of Sheep Hoof Mountain" to introduce similar content through updates in the future.

  When the prospects of multiplayer mode are still unclear, Sucker Punch Studio focused on the innovation of this game in the stand-alone experience. The protagonist "Du" will get a brand new arsenal, and its "Wolf Pack" system allows you to fight side by side with the NPC and explore the character's backstory.
