Tabletop RPG fans, it’s time to rally your adventuring squad. Paris-based developer Tactical Adventures has officially confirmed that Solasta II will receive its highly anticipated online multiplayer mode as part of Early Access Update 1, launching on September 10th.
Since launching into Early Access, Solasta II has been building upon the rich turn-based tactical combat and 5.2 SRD tabletop ruleset that made its predecessor a beloved hit. However, one of the biggest missing pieces from the tabletop experience has been the ability to share the campaign with friends. That wait is almost over.
Play Together: Online Co-Op Hits Neokos
Update 1 will allow up to four players to team up online to explore, fight, and negotiate across the continent of Neokos. Tactical Adventures has designed the multiplayer experience to feel as close to sitting around a real TTRPG table as possible:
- Seamless Drop-In (Hot Join): One player hosts using either a brand-new party or an existing single-player save file. Friends can drop into active sessions directly through the multiplayer lobby.
- Group Dialogue & Voting: When interacting with NPCs, every player can view the conversation choices and vote on the party’s next response. The option with the most votes wins—just watch out for the ticking timer on tough decisions!
- New Ping System: Tactical coordination gets a major upgrade with a new in-and-out-of-combat Ping system, allowing players to highlight points of interest, enemies, or tactical cover instantly.
Unsheathe Eldritch Powers: The Warlock Class Arrives
Alongside co-op play, Update 1 introduces the 7th playable class to the Solasta II roster: The Warlock.
Commanding otherworldly powers through pacts with powerful patrons, Warlocks bring versatile spellcasting and eldritch blasting to combat. The update introduces two distinct subclasses:
- The Time Keeper: Manipulate the flow of combat, boost ally turn order, and strip away enemy reactions.
- The Dreamer: Harness nightmares to put foes to sleep and inflict punishing exhaustion penalties.
Community Requests, World Events & Customisation
Update 1 is packed with extra features and quality-of-life additions requested by the player base:
- 30 New World Events: Includes 15 winning event submissions from the community “Happy Little World Events” contest alongside developer-designed encounters filled with tactical battles and valuable loot.
- Dice Rolling for Stats: Pure tabletop purists rejoice! You can now generate character ability scores using the classic 4d6 (drop the lowest) method during creation.
- Expanded Customisation: New hairstyles, beards, tattoos, and warpaints give your party a distinct look.
- Quality of Life: Features include Cloud Saves for Steam Deck cross-progression, an optional toggle to bypass spell component requirements, and a dedicated controller shortcut for Cautious (stealth) mode during exploration.
Ready Your Squad for September 10
Whether you’re looking to jump into Neokos for the first time or test your tactical builds alongside your favourite gaming companions, Solasta II Update 1 is set to redefine the game’s Early Access journey.
