Denuvo makes that pretty unlikely and people on steam are saying that characters are stored server side so I don't know how that will affect piracy attempts even if denuvo is cracked.
Denuvo doesn't make it impossible, it just makes it take longer, dependant on the interest of the crackers. The main need to be online comes from the initial Denuvo validation and for the ability to use others' pawns. Being offline means you'll just have to use generated pawns.
The only cracker that works on denuvo games hasn't done a release in over 10 months. At this point it's a matter of if/when the developer removes denuvo because there is no one cracking it right now.
Capcom has been removing denuvo in 6-12 months. Iβll just wait till then
I don't have the game but I assume "characters stored server side" means other people's pawns like in the original where you could browse through people's weird sidekicks and recruit them to your party. Not even Monster Hunter stores characters server side, it would be a weird shift to do it now.
From what I have picked up reading steam reviews, starting a new character is an MTX so they enforce that by storing your character on their servers. Others are saying you can get around that by deleting a specific folder but it's still really shitty.
Denuvo can be cracked in as early as week after release. It all just depends if people care about the game enough.
There is one person cracking denuvo, they haven't done a release in 10 months and when they were active they were doing them by request for a $500 "donation". It has never been about how much people care about a game. The other titles that had releases early on were because devs occasionally mess up and push out updates that don't have denuvo applied, not because anyone was cracking denuvo.
