Developer Turtle Rock kept the train of good news going by announcing that only the party leader needs to own the DLC<\/a> for everyone else in the match to play it.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it looks like the good news ends there, because Turtle Rock just confirmed that Back 4 Blood is an always-online game. The upcoming shooter does not support offline play, even for players looking to jump in solo.<\/p>\n

The developer revealed this on Twitter, adding that it’s looking into supporting the feature at some point post launch.<\/p>\n
