While Cult of the Lamb is just gearing up to add local co-op, there's another cult game on the horizon that will come right out of the gate with 4-player online co-op. Worship comes from Chasing Rats Games, the developer of another co-op game called Struggling. After a successful Kickstarter campaign a few years ago, Worship is chugging along towards a 2025 release on consoles and Steam.
The zombie apocalypse would not be a fun time in real life. Despite that, games like No More Room in Hell 2 from Torn Banner Studios (developers of the Chivalry series) keep getting made. This one looks tense and exhilarating, as it challenges 8 online players to find each other and then escape from an area that is riddled with the undead. A f...
The original Sword of the Necromancer, an action RPG from Grimorio of Games, is so popular that it's getting both a sequel and a remake. The remake, Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection, will upgrade the visuals to 3D graphics and add gameplay improvements. Resurrection now has a Steam demo for a limited time, allowing players to check out its smooth gameplay and engaging storytelling.
In the dystopian future, society has failed the general population, and nobody feels like they can fight back. That's where Polaris, an upcoming sci-fi shooter for Steam, comes in. Up to four online players will team up to fight the evil Regime using their guns and flight powers. Their battles will destroy not only friends and foes, but even buildings and terrain! Even in its current pre-alpha state, this one looks exciting.
Night Slashers: Remake from Storm Trident and Forever Entertainment is a promising remake of the classic Data East beat 'em up arcade game. Of course, it's hard to tell how accurate and/or improved a remake of an older game like Night Slashers will be before we can play it. We have a solid idea now, thankfully, because a free demo of the remake has arrived on Steam. The demo supports 2-player local co-op, but the full game will be 4-player.
We've been looking forward to Maximum Entertainment's Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age since we first tried it last year. Co-op fighting games are a rare and special thing, after all, and the game looks pretty slick to boot. It seems that development is making good progress because Maximum has released a fresh Steam demo that sh...
Some folks, like me, are variety streamers, playing all kinds of different stuff. Other folks like to play wacky games that are pretty much designed for streaming. Pantless from Pebbles Games is one of those games. It's a 3D platformer in which pants-free players try to jump and climb as high as they can in an insane world. The free demo has arrived on Steam ahead of the game's July launch, and it supports online multiplayer (which might be co-op).
The Killing Floor series of horror-themed first-person shooters has been around for a long time. The first game was a bit rough looking but fun. Killing Floor 2 then came along and looked like the first game but better. Now, Killing Floor 3 is in the works, and it looks like the second game but better. We know this for sure because the new game's first gameplay trailer has just debuted. Yes, it looks like the previous game, but also incredibly fun!
A long time ago, Starship Troopers was a book by the great Robert Heinlein. Then it was a movie directed by the talented Paul Verhoeven. Lately, it has taken the form of Starship Troopers: Extermination, a large-scale co-op shooter from Offworld on Steam Early Access. Soon, Extermination will fully launch, not only on Steam but also on Xbox Se...
Among the more pleasant reveals of the Xbox Games Showcase this year was that Age of Mythology: Retold from World's Edge would be coming to Xbox in addition to PC. The real-time strategy genre tends to be a little dry, but the Age of Mythology series overcomes that limitation by featuring awesome mythological gods and creatures. Console and PC gamers will get to experience that magical strategy mixture when it arrives on September 4.
A new Gears of War game was heavily rumored to be revealed at this year's Xbox Games Showcase, and that's just what we got. Gears of War: E-Day is a prequel that allows players to take control of Marcus Fenix, the original Gears series protagonist, as he endures the series' famous Emergence Day event. We don't have any gameplay details yet, but E-Day is likely to feature campaign co-op and a cooperative Horde mode.
Call of Duty is a big deal every year, but perhaps never as much as this one, the first year that a new CoD will launch on Game Pass. Today, Microsoft showed off Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at the Xbox Games Showcase, revealing lots of cool gameplay footage and details. We also learned how the cooperative Zombies mode will work - always the most important information for co-op enthusiasts like us.
