If the game followed their first interpretation and didn't have guns. Like the art where guardians are by the big frog, yea we could have pets. It was more medieval. The balance ratio had swords over guns, at least it looked that way in some concept art. Looked very cool, but would be a totally different game. Imo But thankfully, the stuck to fps. So no, I believe there will not be pets. Could be wrong. I don't care for pets, unless you can use them for mobile reasons. Just doesn't fit to well for me in the game. A public event would look to overloaded with stuff on screen.
