A chance to play those with friends!" we have some unfortunate but also vitally important news. The console versions of those games are single-player only.
Yours truly is still recovering from a Starbucks-spread illness, so while I'm not asking for sympathy, I would appreciate some tempered expectations for the quality of this week's post. The Co-Opticrew is still enamored with that dadgum haunting going on up at the Moon, but our attention is starting to turn elsewhere.
This week, Locke and Jason donned their snowsuits, grabbed their walkie-talkies, and set out into the Antarctic to solve some puzzles in We Were Here Together. The third entry in the We Were Here series arrived last week and while there are a few bugs to be worked out still, the fun co-op puzzle solving is still really good.
Chucklefish's RTS game, Wargroove, is getting some new, free (!) DLC soon that adds a whole new campaign to play through. Best of all, it can be played cooperatively with a friend! Hooray!
Sir Tom of Clancy's latest military psuedo-RPG has been the talk of town ever since its launch earlier this month.

The latest entry in Rebellion's zombie sniping series, Zombie Army 4: Dead War, has an official release date: February 4, 2020. That's right, just a little over a week before Valentine's Day, you can pick up the game where you can watch a bullet slowly enter and pierce a zombie's heart. Awwww...

The Co-Opticrew is heading to the moon this weekend! Rumors abound that it's haunted, so we've decided to lend a hand and see if we can get to the bottom of it. Plus, if any good pulse rifles, gloves, or helmets just happen to be lying around, let's just say we're... happy to take it back to Co-Optimus HQ for further testing.
Last week, Bungie made some significant changes to Destiny 2. Specifically, they shifted the base game ("New Light") to be free-to-play, revamped how armor works in the game, put everyone on the same equal footing (i.e., level 50 character with power level 750), shifted how a few activities work, added a "Season Rank" (aka, "Battle Pass"), and also dropped a new content update, Shadowkeep.
