Slime Rancher 2 multiplayer: is there a co-op mode?

Slime Rancher 2

Continue the adventures of Beatrix LeBeau as she journeys across the Slime Sea to Rainbow Island, a land brimming with ancient mysteries, and bursting with wiggly, new slimes to wrangle in this sequel to the smash-hit, Slime Rancher.

Wondering if there is a Slime Rancher 2 multiplayer mode? The cute and colourful farming sim sees you explore the mysterious Rainbow Island as Beatrix LeBeau, the returning protagonist from the first Slime Rancher game. That had no multiplayer mode though, with the story itself playing heavily into the fact that you, Beatrix, were alone on the Far, Far Range - aside from all those slimes and chickens, of course.

Now you've sailed over to pastures new, is there room for other players and friends to join you on your journey in a Slime Rancher 2 multiplayer mode? While we are kept company on the island by regular calls from Viktor Humphries, Mocchi Miles and others, there's no doubt us ranchers would love to share our adventures with some friends. So has multiplayer been added for Slime Rancher 2?
