During this year's Mech_Con, developer Piranha Games announced that MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries will support four player co-op when it launches next year. The entire story campaign can be played with your buddies, meaning it won't be up to just you to lead your mercenary squad to glory.
One of my favorite tabletop co-op games of the past few years has been The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game put out by Fantasy Flight Games. Over the weekend, Asmodee and Fantasy Flight announced they'll be bringing the title to the PC as The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game next year. I am so stoked!
Since we’re decidedly in the midst of the winter holiday season, I decided to do something a little different for this month’s issue of MMO Co-Opportunities. Holiday-related events are often well-received in the MMO gaming community because they offer the chance to do something outside the normal routine and usually net players some exc...
And so another week comes to an end and we head into the weekend with hopes of relaxation and gaming. We've got only a few weeks left until the end of the year, so everyone's cramming in every game that came out this year into their schedule... nah, it's just more Destiny 2.
There was a lot going on during last night's "The Game Awards," including a new trailer for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding that featured a baby inside Norman Reedus' stomach giving a "thumbs up." Amidst all that, 10 Chambers Collective showed off some gameplay footage from their forthcoming FPS co-op shooter, GTFO.
A few months ago, Fatshark teased a follow-up to their popular cooperative FPS, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide. Vermintide 2 is slated to come out sometime early next year with a number of improvements over the original, including a new hero progression system with different “career” options, a better loot system, and a new enemy force to face - Chaos. A beta is on its way, but ahead of that, we got to check out a limited demo and it left us wanting to see more.
Phoenix Labs' MMO-ish action RPG, Dauntless, gets an update today that includes some tweaks/improvements, as well as new gear and new behemoths' to hunt. This update is free for anyone currently in the closed beta, and will be a part of the title going forward.
I thought it might have been Left 4 Dead 3, but alas it was not. Instead I'm almost equally as excited to see a brand new FPS from developer Saber Interactive (TimeShift, Inversion) set in the World War Z universe.
The first expansion to Destiny 2 arrived this week, and we decided to take a little bit of time Tuesday night to check it out. The "Curse of Osiris" added a whole new area (Mercury), a new public space, and some new activities for those who are interested, and while we didn't get a chance to look at them all, we did run through the "Infinite Forest" a few times.
THQ Nordic is continuing to revive the properties of game's past with the release of SpellForce 3 today. The third entry in the SpellForce series, the title mixes up RPG character progression in the form of hero characters with RTS resource and army management. Nick and Jason took it for a spin Monday night to show off the ins-and-outs of its co-op.
During this year's Tokyo Game Show, Atlus announced a remastered version of their 2013 brawler, Dragon's Crown, for the Japanese market. Today, they've announced that Dragon's Crown Pro will be coming to the West as well and it should be here sometime this Spring.
Ubisoft's cover/loot/toboggan shooter, The Division, hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire since its initial release in 2016. Nevertheless, a core contingent of fans has been sticking with the game through thick and thin. Why, you might ask, do said players seem impervious the allure of newer releases? Well, you'll get a chance to see for yourself this weekend on PC, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One.
