A couple days ago, the "Spoils of War" update arrived for World of Tanks and, in addition to a number of improvements, a handful of new co-op missions have been added to the game. These missions take place across three chapters with a different protagonist for each one.
Alda Games' wave-based co-op FPS title, Band of Defenders, arrives on Steam today. The core loop of the game is to protect a point against waves of enemies by building defenses and shooting foes as they get close. If you miss the days when Fortnite was just a PvE survival game, then this may scratch that same itch.
Ubisoft has announced on their support site that the servers for Just Sing will be shutdown in June. What this means is that while you can still play the game locally with friends and any of the songs included in the base game, you won't be able to access any of the additional song packs that were released after the game launched.
A year and six months after its initial PC release, I believe the "definitive" version of Space Hulk: Deathwing will finally be making its way into the world. Dubbed Space Hulk: Deathwing - Enhanced Edition this version of the game offers new customization options, a new class to play, new weapons, new enemies, and a host of other features that were sorely needed when the title originally launched. Hopefully, it's not too late for this title to find some new life.
Muse Games' steampunk airship combat title, Guns of Icarus Alliance, is making its way onto the PlayStation 4. When it does, not only will it feature cross-platform play with the Steam version of the game, but cross-platform voice chat as well.
Until just recently, those who were interested in the post-launch content for Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 were effectively lumped into the same bucket. Regardless of whether or not you wanted to play the cooperative "Zombies" mode or the other competitive modes, you paid for a single package containing both options.
The Incredibles 2 from Disney-Pixar is set to release June 15th 2018 and, just announced this week, it will have a Lego video game releasing alongside it. LEGO: The Incredibles features both of the Incredibles movies and lets players ‘...defeat iconic Super Villains that control the city districts in an open-hub world, including Municiberg, in a brand-new exciting free-play experience.’ The game will be released on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
In a recent Twitch stream, Undead Labs spoke about bases and the changes they are bringing to State of Decay 2 when it launches onto PC and Xbox One with Cross-Play later this year. The video below was part of the stream, so questions presented were being asked by the community.
Ghost Ship Games' Deep Rock Galactic has officially made it into Early Access (or Game Preview if you're Microsoft) and we figured we should hop back into it to see how things have progressed since its Alpha. Things are definitely harder and the progression has been flushed out, but for those thinking is just another "Left 4 Dead style FPS" game... I think there's more to it than what's on the surface.
For what feels like the first time this year, the Co-Opticrew's weekend plans aren't necessarily dominated by one or two games in particular. Instead, we've got quite the assortment of titles to choose from. I'll be savoring this moment, as Far Cry 5 is right around the corner, so I imagine it'll be quite some time before I get this sort of variety again.
You know, I'm really starting to like reporting on news for LEGO games. The stories are never life-changing, per se, but there's something comforting in the knowledge that, no matter what's going on in the world, Traveller's Tales is somewhere out there figuring out a way to condense a beloved (or relatively unknown) character into a virtual minifigure.
Yesterday, Nintendo held one of their "Nindies Showcases" to highlight some of the titles that will be headed to the Switch over the next few months. There are a few stand-out single-player games (like Mark of the Ninja Remastered, The Messenger, and Banner Saga 3), but, of course, we were more focused on the co-op games. Help guide a fallen star home in Pode, dodge shapes to the rhythm of phat beats in Just Shapes and Beats, or decide the fate of your kingdom in Reigns: Kings and Queens.
