A couple weeks back Epic Games teased that a "big update" for Fortnite would be coming soon and include a number of tweaks/balances/QoL fixes, as well as a new "survival" mode. That update, titled "Survive the Storm," is here... at least, that was the original plan.
The Co-Opticrew has spread themselves pretty thin this weekend, with hardly any game getting more than a single mention (though, depending on how Sam's trip with his Mother-in-Law goes, you could possibly tick another mark for Absolver). It's hard not to see this as a good thing, though, especially since we're still technically in the "dry season" for game releases. Granted, most of these games have been out for at least a few months, but it's nice not to see the staff's plans listed as "watching the snail in our backyard as he makes his way to yonder creek".
A favorite co-op title amongst many of the Co-Optimus staff is the SNES classic, Secret of Mana. If you were one of the many folks that were unable to procure a SNES Classic Edition amidst all of that furor on Tuesday, then don't worry, you'll have a chance to play this outstanding title again. Square Enix just announced a remake will be arriving for PC, PlayStation 4, and Vita on February 15, 2018.
Prior to Gamescom, Capcom invited a few outlets out to their San Francisco office to check out the new Monster Hunter title, Monster Hunter: World. While there have been a number of videos released since the initial E3 reveal, not one has shown off or mentioned co-op! Well buckle in because it's time for some four player monster hunting.
Fresh off the Gamescom 2017 presses, Ubisoft announced to the world that they'll be releasing their open world driving game, The Crew 2, on March 16th of next year. There are lots of other details, like pre-order bonuses and beta opportunities, but let's talk briefly about what exactly The Crew 2 will entail.
Hello? Is anyone there? I think... I think I'm trapped in some sort of LEGO games purgatory. Maybe I died on my trip to LEGOLAND, and I'm stuck here until my soul is sent one way or the other. I suppose I may as well make the best of it, so here's the latest bit of LEGO games news.
Elise Farvis from Game Informer got some hands-on time with the (yes, actually!) forthcoming Cuphead from Studio MDHR while attending Gamescom this week. The title sounds just as punishing as it's been made out to be previously, but it also looks like it's a lot of fun, especially with a friend.
Mario and his Rabbid friends will be duking it out XCom style with a bunch of evil Rabbids next Tuesday in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and yesterday Ubisoft just revealed plans for some additional content that will be arriving after its release. The good news is that there will be additional co-op challenges as part of all this.
Two years after its initial summer release, Rocket League is still going strong. The "soccer with cars" title will be making its way onto the Nintendo Switch later this year and the development team over at Psyonix have a special treat for anyone who picks it up on that platform: Nintendo-themed cars.
Ubisoft dropped an eight minute guided gameplay video of Far Cry 5 on Monday while everyone was busy definitely not looking at the sun. There's no specific discussion of the campaign co-op in this, but you can at least get an idea of what you and your buddy will be able to do together (like flying a plane or stopping "horse bapti...
God's Trigger, Techland's new co-op title, was announced earlier this week at Gamescom, and folks have finally gotten some hands-on time with it. Most descriptions are lauding it as a "co-op Hotline Miami," which sounds alright to me.
