When we reviewed Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, the recent EDF spin-off from Yuke's and D3 Publisher, we mostly had a great online co-op experience. The Steam version of the game, however, inexplicably suffered from region-locked lobbies. (The PlayStation and Switch versions weren't affected.) Workarounds will no longer be necessary when playing with folks from other places, thankfully, because the region locking has now been fixed!

Earth Defense Force games have traditionally been M-rated affairs, if only because the giant insect and frog enemies spray lots of goopy blood when shot. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, the new spin-off game from Yuke’s and D3 Publisher, is a more family-friendly entry that trades in low-budget but realistic visuals for colorful and bloc...

It has been a long time since an EDF game launched on multiple consoles simultaneously, but that changes today. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers has just arrived on Switch, PlayStation, and Steam, bringing a fresh art style, dozens of humorous unlockable characters, and four-player online co-op with it. Are you ready to save the Voxel Earth from devastation, soldier?

There's been almost 10 Earth Defense Force games released since Earth Defense Force 2017 came out on the Xbox 360, but one thing has remained constant in the series - the sense of scale. That was the answer given by series creator and producer on Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, Nobuyuki Okajima. With the new game in the series departing from the more realistic look we saw in Earth Defense Force 5 it's good to know the soul is still in tact.

While it’s fun playing in an online casino like GClub to pass the time, it’s equally enjoyable playing co-op games with your friends from your location of choice. Playing cooperative games builds trust and closeness between you and your loved ones, and it’s more relaxed than a casino environment.

The chaos enthusiasts over at Team17 have pumped out tons of extra Overcooked! 2  content since its original release, and they sure would love to spread it to the world.  Perhaps it's a gesture of good will, or maybe they just enjoy being the cause of kitchen-themed panic, but either way, they're releasing a new "Gourmet Edition" of the title on April 7th.

Hot on the heels of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3's previous DLC, "Rise of the Phoenix", Team Ninja has announced the third expansion pack for their action-RPG.  It's titled "Fantastic Four: Shadow of Doom" and will arrive March 26th, with further details still to come.

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.

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.

The second DLC pack for MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order, titled "Rise of the Phoenix," will arrive next Monday and brings with it four new playable characters (Gambit, Cable, Phoenix, and Iceman), and a new game mode that mixes co-op with competitive play. The "Danger Room" pits two teams of four players against one another as they attempt to be the first ones to clear out a room of foes.

Update 1.1.0 is now available for Super Mario Maker 2 and it features some much needed co-op improvements. First, you can now play courses online with friends rather than a group of strangers. You can also now choose what courses to play, either a random selection from the "Course World," courses you have created, or courses you have downloaded from "Course World." Finally, four player couch co-op can be launched directly on any course in the "Course World" without having to download the course first.
