Rebellion is bringing their first-person tank shooter, Battlezone, to a wider audience with the "Gold Edition." Originally a PlayStation 4 exclusive that required the PlayStation VR headset to play, the title was ported to the PC last year, though it still required a VR headset (either the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift) to play. Now, they're dropping the VR requirement altogether so friends everywhere can play together.
Digital Extremes released a new update this week for the PC version of their MMO-ish action title, Warframe. While the update includes the kind of things we usually see, i.e., new weapons and a new Warframe to assemble via finding all its blueprint pieces, then building the pieces, then assembling the pieces, it also includes something we haven't seen in awhile: a brand new Game Mode called "Sanctuary Onslaught."
In a YouTube video announcement, Techland, the team behind 2015’s fantastic zombie-parkour experience Dying Light, announced the sixth free content update to the game: "Snake in the Grass." While this update adds no Co-Op specific features, the entirety of Dying Light can be played in Co-Op with up to three friends, meaning that everything added are Co-Op friendly additions (wahoo!).
Paging all Hunters, hop into Monster Hunter: World right now and tackle the newest monster, the golden Elder Dragon Kulve Taroth. This one's a little special, though; it won't just be you and three of your buddies this time around. Kulve Taroth is an especially "big boi" and thus 16 players must team up to bring him down and craft new gear from his sparkly hide.
Fntastic, the developers that (initially) brought us The Wild Eight, launched a new game on Steam Early Access last month in the form of the multiplayer FPS/action title, Dead Dozen. While the main focus is an interesting blend of PvP and co-op where dead teammates get back up as ghouls (still controlled by the player) that attack their former friends. Today, they release an update titled "Escape" that adds a new strictly co-op mode.
Last year, Blizzard released the limited time co-op "Uprising" event for Overwatch. We had mixed feelings on the matter so we were a bit skeptical when it was recently announced that a new limited time co-op event, "Retribution," would be arriving this month. Turns out Blizzard really did learn some lessons from the last go around and this new event has some good hooks in it for all you co-op enthusiasts out there.
Do you ever stop to wonder if the mass of pixels you are controlling is actually excited for their epic quest, or if they're just doing it out of a sense of duty? Happy Dungeons squeals an emphatic "yes" as your anarchic heroes rampage across the country side murdering minions with glee. If you've murdered up to this point, you'll be happy for the new story content, which launched earlier this week!
Secret Base's co-op beat-em-up, Devil's Dare, is making its way onto the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch today as Streets of Red: Devil's Dare Deluxe. The title features all the same great action as the original PC version, with the added benefit of two new unlockable characters.
EXOR Studios has announced that their 2017 title X-Morph: Defense will be getting a physical release exclusively for the PS4.

Closing out our trio of games from Monday was SCALPERS: Turtle and the Moonshine Gang. We looked at this game a year ago when it was still in Early Access and with its recent full release, we thought we'd hop back in to see how things have progressed. The good news is, I think we got better at the game? The bad news... it's got its share of rough spots.
The second title we checked out during our "Co-Op Triple Header" stream on Monday was Flow Fire Games' top-down shooter SYNTHETIK. Nick and Locke did their best to keep up with our stream of questions for them while also manually ejecting clips and actively reloading their guns.
