Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive have revealed a slew of gameplay details for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, the upcoming sequel to the 2011 sci-fi shooter. This includes new information about the 3-player online co-op Operations mode, 6v6 competitive mode, and lots more. In addition to all that juicy info, the freshly revealed gameplay footage looks quite stunning. The wait for Space Marine 2's September release on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC isn't going to be easy!

Taito Milestones 3 from ININ Games is due out on Switch later this year. When the collection was announced, ININ revealed 7 of the games planned for inclusion. One of those was Rastan Saga, the classic barbarian-themed action platformer. This week, ININ let slip that Rastan Saga II and Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga III will also be included. Both of those games are co-op, so Taito Milestones 3 will have at least 7 cooperative games in total!

When PAYDAY 3 arrived with a thud last fall, it paved the way for other games to take the “cooperative heist game” crown. Surprisingly, the one to take that crown actually came out before PAYDAY 3, and it came from the same publisher, 505 Games. That’s right, Crime Boss: Rockay City first launched on Epic and then consoles early i...

Slowly but surely, Crime Boss: Rockay City from 505 Games has built a reputation as one of the best PAYDAY-style heist games around. Teaming up with friends to do crimes the safe way (in video game form) is a whole lot of fun. Crime Boss: Rockay City has just launched on Steam, so we're celebrating with a big giveaway! Ten copies of the game are up for grabs. Step up and try your luck, readers. Update: The contest has ended and winners have been announced.

Today's Nintendo direct was home to all sorts of cool announcements. For me, the coolest of them all was Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, an upcoming collection of 7 of Capcom's classic Marvel arcade games. Six of those are fighting games, but the seventh is the co-op The Punisher beat 'em up! The collection is coming to PlayStation, Switch, and Steam. Xbox, for some strange reason, was left out of today's announcement.

Disney Illusion Island from Dlala Studios (makers of the most recent Battletoads) and Disney is a charming Switch-exclusive Metroidvania platformer that features 4-player local co-op. With a lovely art style, authentic voice acting, and clever co-op moves, it has always been a quality title. Today's "Mystery in Monoth" update ups the ante with a mysterious new adventure for gamers to enjoy.

Back in the day, the Looney Tunes appeared in an NBA Jam spin-off game called Space Jam, based on the hit movie. The movie was such a hit that it got a painfully bad sequel a few years ago. Remember that? Well, Game Mill Entertainment, makers of TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants, remembers that the Looney Tunes like to play sports. That's why they've just announced Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports, which will offer multiple sports and local co-op too!

Back when the 3DS still had an eShop, it was home to a series of downloadable games called The Denpa Men. That series will soon live on in the form of The New Denpa Men, an upcoming free to play game for Switch. While most of the game will be a single-player RPG, it does promise to have a feature in which 4 online players can team up to catch special Denpa Men. 

The Donkey Kong Country series of platformers is delightful, but the games suffer from a lack of proper co-op. Nintendo and Retro Studios eventually released a proper co-op installment called Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii and 3DS. A lot of gamers missed that installment, alas. Luckily, Nintendo has now announced Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for Switch, giving a fresh generation of players a chance to get our Donkeys Konged.

Back in December, the Steam version of Medieval Dynasty, the medieval survival simulation from Render Cube and Toplitz, received a major update that added 4-player online co-op to the game. Console gamers have been waiting for the online update for a while now, but that wait will soon come to an end. On June 27, both the Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5 versions of Medieval Dynasty will get online co-op with crossplay!

Alien Hominid Invasion, the Behemoth's long-awaited follow-up to Alien Hominid HD, is a highly cooperative run and gun shooter. Up to four co-op players can team up and complete short, wacky levels as they strive to level up and unlock new gear. Naturally, a game with such a big focus on multiplayer runs needs new content to keep it fresh. That's just what the "Juicy Variety Update," which first arrived on Steam and has now landed on consoles, does. The update offers an invasion of new environments, new objectives, and new enemies to keep things exciting.

The original Shovel Knight was a popular platformer with local co-op and a great retro art style. Yacht Club Games ended up offering that first game as both Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (all DLC included) and Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope (just the main game). That's not confusing! Also not confusing is today's announcement of Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX, a remake of the original game that adds 2-player online co-op and many other choice features. So far, we only know it's coming to Steam, but other platforms shouldn't be far behind.
