Figured this could get its own thread:
Yesssss
Demon's Souls only had up to 4 players (1 host, 2 phantoms and 1 invader). Same with Dark Souls 1 and 2 and Bloodborne. It was only starting from Dark Souls 3 that we started having up to 6 players. Using an item called the "Dried Finger", you could summon a 3rd phantom, but it also opened you up to a 2nd invader, and in some specific areas, you could have up to 3 hostiles/invaders (you could also organize red soapstone summons and have up to 3 friendly cooperators vs 3 red phantoms and go crazy).
So we can probably expect to see various online multiplayer scenarios like 2v2, 3v1, 3v2, 3v3, etc. invasions/duels in the Demon's Souls remake, which is really exciting for me as a PvP player. I really enjoyed those types of encounters in Dark Souls 3, and the first DLC also added a PvP arena that allowed for modes like 2v2 duels, 3v3, and even battle royales.
I do wonder if they'll tweak the Old Monk boss too. If you have a phantom, perhaps the Old Monk could have a possible helper, kind of like the Looking Glass Knight boss fight in Dark Souls 2? But I'm admittedly speculating wildly here.
