The rumors about local multiplayer’s absence arose when the ​​PlayStation and Steam pages listed it as a single-player game only with no mention of offline multiplayer. It was also reported earlier that game producer Jun Furutani said that local split-screen will not be present due to “issues relating to Sony and Microsoft.”

If the store page is believed, it looks like local multiplayer will be in the cards. Local multiplayer has been a staple mode in fighting games, and its absence would have been felt among fans.
