We spent some time with Generation Zero on our Monday stream this week. This first-person, open-world shooter from Avalanche Studios takes place in 1980's Sweden where the local population has disappeared and ravenous machines scour the countryside.
World War Z and its never-ending hordes of zombies is nearly upon us. Are we ready for it? Probably not, but we can get some last minute info nonetheless.
Ever dreamed of owning your own restaurant and figuring out not only what food to serve, but the decor? Well, then, you might want to check out Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!, now available on the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
The folks over at Dodge Roll have been working on their bullet hell dungeon crawler, Enter the Gungeon, for over five years now, and last Friday, they finally declared it as D-O-N-E done! (At least as far as new content is concerned, bug patches will still happen.) The final free DLC expansion, "A Farewell to Arms," was released for all versions of the game so if you've been looking for excuse to get back into this one, now seems as good a time as any.
Gunfire Games' next title is a "third-person survival action shooter" that appears to blend looting, shooting, and crafting with a little bit of Dark Souls. Titled Remnant: From the Ashes, the game was first announced last July, but IGN recently go some hands-on time with it to show off the cooperative nature. I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing so far.
Officially released last June on the PC and a couple months later on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, Neocore Games' action-RPG, Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr, has gone through two seasons of free content that added new enemies, increased power/level caps, and opened up new subsectors to play. Through all of this, the developers have been gathering feedback and working on a much larger update to bring a number of quality of life (QoL) changes to the game.
Ubisoft posted a pretty honest and straightforward blog post last week about the state of their "build-your-own" spaceship shooter, Starlink: Battle for Atlas. The initial launch of the title was somewhat surprising as all of the "toys-to-life" games of the past few years have seen a steep decline, but Ubisoft seemed to account for that by offering the option to use physical or digital content in Starlink. It appears, though, that that still wasn't enough to help with the sales as Ubisoft stated they've "made the decision to not release any additional physical toys for the Spring update and in the future."
For this issue of MMO Co-Opportunities, we’re taking a look at updates to some MMO that have been around for a while: TERA, Black Desert Online, and RIFT. This will be a pretty console-heavy issue as well....
The Co-Opticrew seems to be distracted this weekend with some distinctly non-cooperative titles. I'll allow these prodigal children a single weekend to get it together and return to the co-op fold, but let this serve as warning that they're all on thin ice.
Ubisoft has dropped the first bit of free post-launch content for Tom Clancy's The Division 2 today. The "Tidal Basin" update adds more endgame stuff to chase for those looking to continue their romp through the ruins of D.C., and get ready for the eight player raid that drops late this month with the next update.
The twin-stick shooter genre is rife with opportunities for co-op goodness, and that embarrassment of cooperative riches just expanded with the Early Access release of HyperParasite.
In a surprise announcement yesterday, QC Games announced that their studio will be shutting down, as will their action-RPG Breach. It's not clear just yet what the plan is for sunsetting this title, but the servers are still up and running if you wanted to get one last game in before it goes, though there's a certain caveat to that (see below).
