Speaking with IGN, For Honor Producer Stephane Cardin has confirmed that split-screen has been removed from the game.
“We decided this week to cut the split-screen,” he said. “It was a feature that we loved, but, when we looked at what needs to be done to support online co-op, for us it was critical to make a decision now so we can polish all the features at the AAA level and make sure that we have the most amazing experience.”
Back in 2015, Creative Director Jason Vandenberghe told Gamespot that split-screen was all-important.
“[It’s] super-required, because this is a game about fighting with weapons,” Vandenberghe said. “Split-screen [is] absolutely a key feature for us […] you want sit on the couch and beat up your buddy, that’s the thing.”
