While some players were disappointed that the My Time at Sandrock multiplayer side wasn't ready for launch this month, developer Panthea confirms that the chill Stardew Valley-style city-building game will add online play for up to four players "by the end of this year".

The sequel to 2019's My Time at Portia released last week on Steam Early Access, and going by Steam player counts it has already been a tremendous success. However, some players may have been taken off-guard by the lack of a multiplayer mode, which the developer previously confirmed was always the plan for the sequel.

In a new video, developer Panthea outlines its My Time at Sandrock multiplayer roadmap for 2022, and states that the plan is to release it as an update later this year. The team aims to hold global tests for all players in late August/early September and in October, so it seems likely the game's online side will be added in November or December 2022 - with support for up to four players.
