We don't know yet whether this year's Call of Duty (Black Ops 6) will feature a co-op mode, but they usually do. Microsoft and Activision have announced that the game will be revealed to the world on June 9, so we're hoping to find out some co-op details soon. What's more, Microsoft also announced today that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be coming to Xbox Game Pass at launch. That's a big get for Xbox, and surely one of the reasons that Microsoft bought Activision in the first place.

Since its debut a few years ago, Vampire Survivors from Poncle has sparked a huge following and created its own genre: the Vampire Survivors-like, a subset of the roguelike genre in which player characters automatically attack while being swarmed by huge hordes of enemies. Outer Terror is a horror-themed take on the idea with 2.5D gr...

QubicGames has released numerous low-cost games on Nintendo Switch and sometimes other consoles, but precious few of the company's titles have made their way to Steam before now. That changed this week when Qubic released more than 20 titles on Steam, including local co-op games Aquarium Land and Johnny Trigger: Sniper. Now that's progress!

Last year, Polish developer Event Horizon released a follow-up to their popular CRPG, Tower of Time. The new game, Dark Envoy, has received a steady stream of updates since launch, addressing player feedback and adding new features. The "Director's Cut" update arrived this week, bringing even more improvements. Given that Dark Envoy supports 2-player online co-op, now looks like a great time to give it a shot.

In the long-ago days of the early 1990s, a sci-fi RPG called Star Control II came out on PC and 3DO, and it knocked the socks right off of anyone who played it. Now, the creators of the series are working on a modern sequel called Free Stars: Children of Infinity. This will be the first installment in the series to feature 2-player online co-op, an early stretch goal for the fundraising campaign. The Kickstarter will end on Friday, May 17 at 11 PM PT, and before that happens, it needs more support in order to fund the addition of voice acting. Let's make it happen, co-op lovers!

Folks have always wondered what it's like to be a vampire, and thanks to the magic of video games, it's now possible to find out. Stunlock Studios' V Rising launched on Steam this week, and it allows players to become a dangerous vampire lord. The game features open world gameplay and the ability to play cooperatively in PvE or competitively in PvP. It also has some Castlevania DLC which is pretty rad.

The wait for Earth Defense Force 6 has been a long one. In fact, some folks say that you could stretch the delay between the Japanese and Western releases of EDF 6 around the earth at least twice. I mean, the game arrived in Japan in August 2022, and we still don't have an English version. That injustice will finally be rectified when EDF6 arrives on PlayStation and Steam in North America and Europe on July 25 of this year. Are you ready to save the earth from the aliens' attack, recruits?

Half the appeal of Funko Pop toys is the wide range of licenses that get made into figures. You can get Sonic, TMNT, Ghostbusters, and all kinds of Pops. After many years, some of that fun is finally coming to video games in the form of Funko Fusion for consoles and PC. It's due out in September from 10:10 Games and Skybound Games.

...and another month has gone down the drain. So what happened in April? Well, Toaplan-fans on PC were able to rejoice as Bitwave Games released their final volume of games. Truxton II, Grind Stormer (no co-op), Dogyuun, and Twin Hawk can now be enjoyed on modern systems with a handful of quality-of-life improvements. Don't despair, console users! You finally got access to ArcRunner, Cook, Serve Delicious! (yes, the first one), Hammerwatch Anniversary Edition, Hammerwatch II, and PERISH. Oh, and on PlayStation, you can now feel like a true pirate thanks to Microsoft's Sea of Thieves hitting the platform just yesterday.

River City Girls 2 is one of the best beat 'em ups on this dying planet of ours. Since it launched at the end of 2022, the game has received some welcome updates that added 4-player online co-op and improved the combo system. Given that RCG2 already has cameos from Billy and Jimmy Lee of Double Dragon fame (and Marian is an unlockable character), fans have naturally suggested that the Double Dragon brothers should graduate to playable characters. Today, WayForward announced that it's going to happen!

Konami’s 1989 and 1991 TMNT arcade games stand as two of the most successful co-op arcade games of all time. In 2017, Raw Thrills (makers of the Fast & Furious arcade games) gave the license a shot as well, releasing a third arcade game that was simply titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That arcade game has finally been ported to home c...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is now available on consoles and Steam, bringing the 2017 Raw Thrills arcade game home at last. GameMill Entertainment and Raw Thrills have added three new stages to the game, kicking the number of bosses up from 7 to 13. Let's check them out! Bebop Wrath of the Mutants is based...
