World of Anterra Multiplayer and Co-op Options

Does World of Anterra have multiplayer and co-op?

Yes. The official Steam store page for World of Anterra lists Multi-player, Co-op, Online Co-op, Shared/Split Screen Co-op, Shared/Split Screen, Cross-Platform Multiplayer and Remote Play Together among the game's features, and it also lists Single-player. So the game is officially documented as supporting both solo play and cooperative play, including online sessions and same-screen sessions. 81monkeys is both developer and publisher, and the Steam listing currently gives the release date as 2026.

What the store page confirms

The feature tags on Steam are the clearest official statement available on this topic. According to the store listing, World of Anterra supports:

• Single-player
• Multi-player and Co-op
• Online Co-op
• Shared/Split Screen Co-op and Shared/Split Screen
• Cross-Platform Multiplayer
• Remote Play Together and Family Sharing
• Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, full controller support, DualShock and DualSense controller support, and Steam Input API support

The same listing gives Windows as the only platform and shows no price for the US store.

How co-op is described by third parties

Details beyond the feature tags are not spelled out on the official store page. The co-op information site Co-Optimus, in its World of Anterra co-op page, reports four-player local co-op and four-player online co-op for the PC version, with splitscreen layouts for two, three and four players, drop-in/drop-out and a co-op campaign. The same page states that combo co-op (local plus online together) and LAN play are not supported. These specifics come from Co-Optimus, not from 81monkeys, and the site notes that its information is subject to change.

Co-Optimus also describes the co-op experience as players being able to "hop" in and out of each other's worlds, adventure together or separately, and trade goods, with special world events tied to the narrative that trigger when someone opens a rift into another world, featuring their own progression and unlockable rewards. That description should be treated as third-party reporting rather than an official feature list.

Solo play and the core game

Single-player is listed on the official store page as one of the game's features. The official store description itself calls World of Anterra a handcrafted open-world role-playing adventure with a non-linear story and quests, deep progression systems, grid-based combat that blends quick-time actions with strategy, and a tactile interface built around items and icons rather than menus and text. It also describes exploration through books, conversation and interaction with the environment, resting in taverns or setting up camps, and a custom real-time lighting engine with dynamic weather and day-night cycles. The description does not use the word "single-player" anywhere; that term appears only in the Steam feature tags.

Release status and open questions

Steam lists the release date as 2026 with no US price shown, and the game is listed for Windows only. According to the game's own website, anterrarpg.com, the project's Kickstarter ended on September 23, 2022 at over 300 percent funded, and the site describes the game as coming to desktop and console; console versions are not reflected in the Steam platform list. Co-Optimus, by contrast, marked the Steam release date as TBD at the time of its posting.

Several co-op specifics are not officially documented: the maximum number of players per mode, how cross-platform play is implemented and between which platforms, whether split-screen supports online play simultaneously, and whether progress is shared between players. Until 81monkeys publishes those details, the Steam feature tags and third-party reporting are the available sources.
