Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for June, 2021

IT'S OVER 9000!

That was a wild month, huh? Seems like the industry has re-discovered how much fun a good PvE-co-op experience can be based on all those announcements made during the various E3- and Not-E3-showcases. Sadly our happiness is a bit dampened by the fact that many of those titles - especially the high profile ones - don't feature good old local couch multiplayer. Either the hardware requirements are too high for classic split-screen or connecting you with your friends through the series of tubes called the internet is the prefered way to go for the developers nowadays. We don't know and don't judge. We are just happy we have so much to look forward to even if our Database Master was sweating hard adding all those games. In the end our database saw an addition of 380 old, new and upcoming titles in June which also meant we breached the barrier of 9.000 entries!

We also welcomed back a former staff member, Paul Acevedo! So you should start to see a regular influx of co-op news for the forseeable future!

Of course you don't need to wait for all those freshly announced games to have fun. June also saw a plethora of new releases on all platforms despite all the attention being on the shows.  We were especially pleased to witness PULSAR: Lost Colony leaving Steam Early Access after almost eight years in development (and us spending quite a few hours with it during that time). So as always take a look below and see what you may have missed.
