DIRECT ANSWER
Nodusfall showed a four-player Gamescom development build, and developers also confirmed solo play. The build used DPS, Tank and Support roles. Final player limits, matchmaking, cross-play, cross-save, private lobbies, AI companions and scaling remain unknown; PvP and PvPvE were only discussed or planned.
What the four-player build confirmed
Gamescom coverage documented a four-player development build facing large creatures. That confirms the project has been playable as co-op, but it does not establish a final player cap or every activity that will support a team.
Solo play and team roles
Developers confirmed solo play alongside the four-player build. DPS, Tank and Support roles appeared in that development version, giving each player a visible team function without proving final class locks or party composition rules.
Matchmaking, cross-play and PvP
Matchmaking, cross-play, cross-save, private lobbies, AI companions and difficulty scaling have not been announced. PvP and PvPvE were discussed or planned, not confirmed as final launch modes.
