What is confirmed?

The September 23 Q&A directly addresses solo play and party size. The four-player Gamescom session remains a demo observation, not the announced launch limit.

Gamescom role and healing observations

Observed

PC Gamer's four-player demo included a tank and a healer, with each playable character described as having distinct combat mechanics. GamesRadar's later hands-on describes the healer locking onto one ally for sustained healing or healing nearby teammates in a burst. These show role-oriented design in development builds; they do not confirm a final role list, character roster or balance requirements.

Joint Execution observation

Observed

GamesRadar used Joint Execution for a demo attack. The later official English Q&A names a cooperative mechanic Divine Drain. Their exact relationship is not explained; do not assume they are identical.

Can Nodusfall be played solo?

Official

Yes. The official Q&A says most core content is accessible solo. It does not promise that every activity is solo-compatible or explain companions and scaling.

Will there be PvP?

Official

The development team told GAME Watch that PvE co-op is the main focus and that PvP and PvPvE content are planned. No timing, rules, progression, or final mode list has been announced.

Divine Drain: what is actually confirmed?

Official

The official English name is Divine Drain. The Q&A connects it to coordinated multiplayer roles, but provides no input sequence, timing window, damage formula or complete rules.
