I don’t think so. The prisoner’s dilemma is just a payoff matrix. Adding communication doesn’t change it as long as each player can’t see the other’s choice before making their own. And whether the payoff matrix arises because of a mutual adversary or some other way doesn’t seem like it should make a difference to me.

Make it an iterated prisoner’s dilemma, or add some other way for players to punish each other after seeing their choice, and that does change the game.
