Around this time last year (which only feels like 5 years ago), we heard about a new action-survival game called Tribes of Midgard, which showed players running around a world fighting monsters from Norse legends, collecting materials, and building a home base. The title looked promising - particularly as it supports up to 10 players online - and during this year's Summer Game Fest, we finally got news of an official release date. Fell giants and defend the Seed of Yggdrasil with your buddies on July 27, 2021.

We're still getting caught up on some of the news and game announcements from E3 and Keighley's Summer Game Fest, and one title that sounds very promising for all us Left 4 Dead fans is The Anacrusis, the first game from new development studio Stray Bombay. The studio was co-founded by Dr Kimberly Voll and Chet Faliszek, who have plenty of experience betwixt them, and in an interview back in 2019 when the studio was first announced, Chet said "we wanted to start a studio that made co-op games."

E3 2021 has come and gone, and the Summer Game Fest is still kind of going, but in the flurry of news and excitement over big name titles coming out in the next year or two, there are always a few that slip by. Here's a quick round-up of some co-op titles to keep an eye on as time marches inexorably onwards.
