Whoopsie. It seems a slight case of mis-reporting on MTV’s part set the internet ablaze wrongly, as they have now retracted their original report that LEGO: Indiana Jones would feature four player co-op.

Putting it down to a mis-communication, it seems hopes have now died out of four player drop in, drop out gameplay over Live, so it’s back to the grind of just two players being controllable, despite there being four characters on screen.

“‘LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures’ will feature the user friendly drop-in/drop-out two-player cooperative feature that players have come to know and love,” the game’s producer, Shawn Storc, said to me in an e-mail provided by LucasArts public relations. “However, we are not expanding this feature to a higher player count. I certainly do apologize for any confusion that has arisen; we must have been in a LEGO induced haze at the Collector’s Party.”

Well there goes that dream.
