Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age is an upcoming fighting game from Maximum Entertainment. Through a couple of public playtests, we've been able to try out several of the co-op fighter's unique steampunk characters. There's no public playtest at present (other than an event demo at this weekend's Evo fighting game tournament), but a fresh trailer shows off a sultry new character named Damkina and teases an additional female fighter. Diesel Legacy needs to hurry up and come out!
Two years after Season 6, the first part of Season 6 of Cobra Kai has finally arrived on Netflix. The martial arts drama continues the story of the Karate Kid films, depicting Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence's struggles to train new students and protect them from malevolent karate teachers and students. One of the two existing games from GameMill Entertainment, Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues, features 2-player local co-op. Both games are on sale on various digital storefronts, so now's a great time to jump in and start busting heads.
I don't know if you've heard, but Barbie is a pretty big brand. There was this movie about Barbie last year that made like a jillion dollars, and I guess there's a popular toy line or something too. Well then, it only makes sense that a fresh barbie videogame is in the works. Barbie Project Friendship is coming from Outright Games. It will support 2-player local co-op when it arrives in October.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night will always be remembered as the game that popularized the Metroidvania genre, and one of its key contributors is Koji Igarashi.

Ever since Outright Games announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed, the game based on the recent animated movie, we've wondered what it would play like. This one isn't a beat 'em up, after all. Thanks to the release of the game's first animated trailer, we can finally see what the action will be like. Mutants Unleashed will feature 2-player local co-op, and it's coming to consoles and PC in October.
Double Dragon, the original co-op beat 'em up franchise, is still going strong after nearly 40 years. Double Dragon Gaiden is a big hit, River City Girls 2 is getting Double Dragon DLC soon, and now a 3D entry is coming. Arc System Works recently revealed Double Dragon Revive in a Japanese magazine, showing off some character artwork and screenshots. We don't know a lot about Revive yet, but we fully expect it to support 2-player co-op.
Retro collections can be appealing because of the large number of games they include, but sometimes the games are too old to be much fun. Digital Eclipse and Atari overcome this problem by adding documentary content into the mix. Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration bundles an amazing 115 titles and a wealth of historical matter in one slick packa...
Last year, River City Girls, WayForward's seminal beat 'em up RPG, arrived on mobile through the Crunchyroll Game Vault. That partnership was such a success that WayForward is bringing three more games to Crunchyroll's mobile app: Dawn of the Monsters, RWBY: Arrowfell, and Spidersaurs. This is cool news for mobile co-op fans because two of those three games support local co-op. Dawn of the Monsters is available right now, and the other titles are coming soon.
The folks at Outright Games are always developing licensed games, mostly based on kids' properties.

The game will support 2-player local co-op, and it's due on consoles and PC in October.
Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration launched way back in 2022, celebrating the history of Atari with documentary content and a huge collection of retro games.

Today, we've finally learned how that content will take shape: in the form of Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Expanded Edition, a new edition with even more documentary content and games.
