>if you want COOP, you have to buy the base game AND dlc
That is 100% a capcom move, they know FOTM coopers who didn't buy DD2 at release as it wasn't coop will now pay up

Also didn't the leaked dev build have code related to a multiplayer area? Might be something that was always planned and developed, but cut before release.

>pawns are hired from the rift as normal
>players are hired in taverns
>players wanting to be hired send a copy of themselves to other players worlds (like putting down your summon sign in souls)
>the copy of the players character appears in the host players tavern like a normal NPC
>if hired you load into the hosts game and join them in the tavern
>set off together on an adventure once the host finishes picking the party members
>bonus points if you can sit down at tables get temporary buffs by ording a round or meal
>extra bonus points if camping is moved to real-time instead of the instanced world that stops time & enemies, and can be done anywhere instead of fixed spots as long as there's enough room for the tents etc

Could actually be quite comfy
