1515 Pearl Abyss discussed a multiplayer mode called Another Journey during early development (2020 to 2021). This mode was described as something similar to GTA Online, where players would create custom characters in a shared world. However, the mode was deprioritized during the game's six-year development cycle. As of launch, Pearl Abyss has given mixed signals about whether multiplayer will ever be developed. Some statements suggest it could happen post-launch depending on demand, while others from the PR team have downplayed the possibility.
