LEGO City: Undercover won’t have multiplayer
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
LEGO City: Undercover’s newly opened website confirms that the game won’t have any multiplayer. The teaser page lists Undercover as a single-player experience. There had been speculation regarding the possibility of co-op play, but it looks like those rumors never panned out. LEGO City looks quite enjoyable nonetheless!
Thanks to Jax for the tip.
