The bosses are all gone this weekend, so the Co-Opticrew is gonna get wild. After we finish some errands and take care of a few lingering work items, that is. Also, there are some minor repairs that probably need to be taken care of. I'm pretty sure there are a few bills that need to be paid as well. We may as well run to Home Depot while we're out, just in case we need anything. After that's all done, though? Buck. Wild.
There are a number of hands-on previews for Zombie Army 4: Dead War making their rounds through the Internet this week. We'll link to a few down below, along with some captured gameplay footage courtesy of IGN, but the big takeaway seems to be this: if you liked Strange Brigade but wish it was more Nazi zombies and less mummies, good news!
The "Double Trouble" DLC for Chucklefish's Wargroove now has an official release date for most platforms. The free content will drop on February 6 for PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One, and some unspecified time later on the PlayStation 4. The biggest feature that's included in the DLC is a new campaign that can be played cooperatively with another person either on your couch or online.
Nintendo released a 20-minute Direct earlier today that was focused on their Pokemon franchise. While there is a remake of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue/Red Rescue Team games on the way as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, the co-op specific news we're interested in is the new DLC that's coming to Pokemon Sword and Shield this year via the $30 Expansion Pass.
The Co-Opticrew has emerged once more into a year full of opportunity. Will we take advantage of this arbitrary period to renew ourselves physically and mentally? Unlikely! Instead, we'll be doing what we do best, playing video games and watching the world around us crumble.
Saber Interactive’s World War Z has finally received the much anticipated Horde Mode as part of Season 2’s lineup of free content. Simply titled “Horde Mode Z”, the new mode brings waves of undead upon the players who will have to scavenge, explore, and fight for survival. The update also adds a new zombie type, The Bomber, who spawns in any game mode and brings an “explosive twist” - it explodes when shot. However, if players are more careful they can disable the explosive-toting undead (as seen in the trailer below) and gather rare supplies to aid their survival efforts. The Season 2 content for World War Z is free and available now across Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Gears 5 kicked off its second “Operation” (i.e., season) last month, called “Operation: Free For All.” The Title Update 3 brought a slew of bug fixes, maps, and the new Free For All PvP mode to the game, but that’s not all we got for December. Much like in real life, Christmas came upon us and the COGs faster than we had anticipated and with it came some holiday-themed content for Gears 5 in the form of the annual Gearsmas event.
On this, the very last weekend before Christmas, the Co-Opticrew is gathering their friends and family, heating up a nice warm cup of cocoa, and just going ham on some robotic weaponry. We'll be blastin' all weekend long from the safety of our ships, mechs, and space suits.
There are quite a few open-world/survival games out there these days; from the fantastical to the prehistoric and even in space, you're not lacking for options. However, not all of these games support co-op play, and even fewer (none?) support mechs. Enter Iron City Games' open-world, survival/tactical FPS game, GearStorm.
Rebellion’s Zombie Army Trilogy will be limping over (as zombies do) to the Nintendo Switch come the first half of 2020. The game is set to include all previously released content, including the Horde mode and all story chapters, as well as an exclusive feature to the Nintendo version: wireless multiplayer for up to four players. More ways to play with friends means more co-opportunities to enjoy!
Team17 and Ghost Town Games have added some free content to the wonderful world of Overcooked! 2. If you're looking to get into the holiday mood with some mince pies and Christmas puddings, then you might want to fire up the game and enjoy the free "Winter Wonderland" update, which was released just a couple days ago.
Not too long ago, keen observers noticed an interesting bullet point on the official Luigi's Mansion 3 website just prior to its release. Specifically, that "paid DLC will come to Luigi's Mansion 3 in the future, adding new content to the ScareScraper and ScreamPark multiplayer modes." However, no other information was offered. Earlier this week, Nintendo finally revealed what that content will entail, and how much it will cost.
