Is Cult of the Lamb multiplayer? Answered

Raising a cult to destroy The Bishops of the Old Ways in Cult of the Lamb is hard work. So can you do it with a friend? Is Cult of the Lamb multiplayer?

It wasn’t before, but it is now. Yes. Cult of the Lamb is multiplayer. It has a co-op mode. However, the caveat here is that it’s local co-op only.

As a note, yes, this article previously stated that there was no multiplayer, which was true at the time (Massive Monster had even said that it wasn’t planned). However, the August 12, 2024 update, Unholy Alliance, added it. The speculation of why it wasn’t included was just inaccurate. I have never claimed to be able to predict that future, and you know what they say about when we “assume.”

How to play Cult of the Lamb co-op

Adding a friend to Cult of the Lamb couldn’t be easier. Except, and I have to re-iterate here, it’s local co-op only. You need two controllers, a friend in your immediate vicinity, a screen to share, and probably something comfortable to sit on for the both of you, but I won’t question your social priorities.

In order to start co-op:

• Start the game.
• Go into the pause menu.
• Select “Add Co-op Player.”
• A list of devices will be displayed. One player will have to press right to slide their input method over to the Goat.
• Confirm, and each player will have control of that character.

That’s it. You can then remove the co-op player by going back into the pause menu and selecting “Remove Co-Op Player.”

That’s all there is to it.

Does Cult of the Lamb have online co-op

To reiterate one last time, Cult of the Lamb still does not have online co-op. It is local co-op only.

No word has been given by Massive Monster if Cult of the Lamb will ever be updated to include online co-op. I’d say that it was unlikely, but I’ve been proven wrong before. However, I’ll just end by saying that, once again, Cult of the Lamb does not have online co-op.
