What the gameplay video does and does not show
The October 19, 2026 5 Minutes of Gameplay upload uses a single first-person camera. You see one set of hands, one flashlight-and-pistol pairing, and one ammo counter on the pistol UI. There is no split-screen layout or second-player nameplate in the frames catalogued on gameplay breakdown and weapons and combat. That observation is Seen in video only—it is not a guarantee that the final game will never add co-op.
