Subscribe to our newsletter After more than two years in development, Teardown’s hotly anticipated multiplayer will finally arrive in March. It’s no tacked-on affair either, with developer Tuxedo Labs bringing a full suite of options to play with pals in its chaotic destruction sim.Teardown’s upcoming multiplayer options include full co-operative functionality for the hitherto single-player campaign, as well as free-roaming sandbox variants for each campaign map. On top of this, Tuxedo Labs will add a range of competitive modes such as team deathmatch, as well as support for modded game modes.In all cases, Teardown offers support for up to 12 players on a single server, though I can’t decide whether that many players would be a help or a hindrance when playing the campaign. For now, multiplayer is PC exclusive, and while Tuxedo Labs hopes to bring multiplayer to consoles later, there are currently no plans to introduce crossplay.

According to Teardown’s multiplayer FAQ, there also won’t be any integrated voice or text chat into the multiplayer. Which isn’t a disaster given the wealth of external options, but lacking voice chat has caused problems for other multiplayer games lately, most notably FBC: Firebreak.
