As The Crew 2 gets ready to release later this month, the steady stream of gameplay details and videos continue. The guys at Outside Xtra captured some of their time in the recent closed beta, so enjoy nineteen minutes of uninterrupted co-op gameplay that starts with driving in a car, transitions into an airplane, and finishes by taking the role of the worst-suited vehicle for a land race; a boat.
IO Interactive announced yesterday that everyone's favorite silent assassin (if you're doing it right), Agent 47, will be returning in a brand new "world of assassination" in Hitman 2. This is a direct sequel to the episodic and extraordinarily fun quasi-reboot of Hitman that dropped in 2016. What's particularly exciting this time around is that a new co-op mode, called "Sniper Assassin," has been added, and it's available to play right now.
If you can believe it, BattleBlock Theater recently crested its five-year anniversary. The puzzle platformer/party game first graced us with its presence in 2013 as one of the last vestiges of the Xbox Live Arcade, with a PC port coming about a year later.
A brand new co-op trailer just dropped for Strange Brigade, an upcoming 3rd person shooter from Sniper Elite developer Rebellion. The four player co-op game puts players in the shoes of a set of adventurers set in the 1930s as they uncover monsters and creatures of the fantasy sort. Mummies? Check. Zombies? Check. Giant spiders? Check.
Avalanche Studios announced their newest self-published game today, Generation Zero. The title will follow in the footsteps of their previous works and be an open-world game, but there's a little bit of a different twist here. Set in a reimagined Sweden during the 1980s, you and up to three buddies can team up to fight off a hostile force of machines.
I love this time of the year. Those couple weeks and days leading up to E3 when speculation and rumors run wild. In this case, those rumors revolve around the possibility of Skate 4 becoming an actual thing. The reason? For some reason nobody can understand, EA has switched the servers back on for Skate 3. If you miss doing tricks with your buddies, now's your chance.
The world of simulation games is about to get a bit bigger. After you're done being a surgeon, managing a farm, repairing cars in a garage, and managing a soccer (sorry, football) team, why not manage your own bus company? Bus Simulator 18 will arrive next Tuesday, June 13, and will not only let you run your own fleet of buses, but get behind the wheel and drive the routes. Oh yeah; honk, honk, beep, beep, coming through!
E3 2018 kicks off this Saturday...yes Saturday, with the normal lead up press conferences. Electronic Arts is first out of the gate and we'll be hosting the streams right here on our website. Below is the entire press conference schedule with convinient links to watch on your favorite streaming service. The staff will likely be chatting it up in our Discord if you'd like to talk about all the co-op reveals!
This week during our regular "Let's Play Co-Op" Monday night stream, Nick and Jason are an intrepid duo that must fight off zombies and build a community that cares in State of Decay 2. Also, Jason has some fun with car doors.
Bungie held a livestream yesterday where they revealed what they have planned for "Year 2" of Destiny 2. After a rough first year, the development studio needed a "win" here to not only appease their base, but hopefully bring back players that dropped off. There are a number of changes and improvements in the works, most of which will arrive with the next big expansion: Forsaken.
E3 2018 officially kicks off on Monday, but a lot of the big press conferences take place over the weekend. This includes Microsoft's conference on Sunday, June 10 at 4:00 PM EDT. In anticipation of whatever big news they've got, they're offering a lot of discounts on their hardware, software, and various services (like Gold, Game Pass, and Mixr) during their "Biggest Xbox Sale of the Year"... sale.
I don't think I realized it until now, but I've been spending too much time in the light recently. I mean, sure, it's warm and comforting or whatever, but sometimes you just need to accept the cold embrace of darkness. Luckily for me, Aragami has a new expansion out today, so I have a legitimate reason to dip into the shadows for a bit.
