Will Nightingale have level-scaling in co-op mode?

No, Nightingale will not feature any form of level-scaling in co-op mode. You need to manually change the difficulty level, depending on what you or your friends feel is acceptable for a particular realm.

This information was confirmed by the developers through February 15’s Developer Update video. This is a welcoming change as it ensures you enjoy the game in a way that is fun yet challenging at the same time, without being stressful.

Nightingale is a survival game, which means the Fae realms are dangerous and the procedural generation will pose even more challenges as every journey will be new for you. Therefore, maintaining a stable difficulty level will ensure that players do not get overwhelmed while playing Nightingale.
