The great thing is that you can choose to play this game, set in wintery dense woods, either solo or with a team of up to 8 players. But many players have been wondering whether you can use companions such as Kelvin while you are playing multiplayer. Read on to find out.

Is Kelvin Available in Sons of the Forest Multiplayer?

Companions in Sons of the Forest, including Kelvin, will be fully recruitable and you will be able to use them in your adventure. However, you will only get a single Kelvin from the storyline for the whole team. The fact that there are 4 or 5 players in your team won’t allow you to have that same number of Kelvins.

Moreover, since the game leans heavily on realism, you will be able to wound or even kill your teammates or companions so be careful. If you kill Kelvin once that’s it. He is permanently removed from the game.

Even though Kelvin isn’t a must-have to beat the game (and is probably much more useful in a single-player setting than in a multiplayer one) he can definitely be used to complete some boring tasks like clearing the surroundings for setting up a camp or gathering sticks and stones for the camp. While he is doing this you and your team can do more fun stuff.
