The most recent Kickstarter update video for Larian Studios' Divinity: Original Sin 2 shows off a feature that we've been anticipating: local co-op on the PC. But wait, it gets better! Combo co-op, either online or via LAN, will also be supported.
One of the big hits of 2016 was the "open-ended country-life RPG," Stardew Valley. This labor of love from one-man development team ConcernedApe let players own and operate their own farm while also engaging in other activities like romancing the local townsfolk and throw some festivals. While it is a single-player only affair, there's some good news on the way: co-op will be implemented sometime next year.
In an announcement video put out earlier today, Capcom slapped a fancy ol' release date (August 29th) on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Resident Evil: Revelations. Considering the game's 3DS origins, it looks pretty fantastic, but we're not here just to slack our jaws at higher resolutions.
It feels like we've seen a great number of videos of EXOR Studios' top-down shooter meets tower defense title, X-Morph: Defense, but there's a lot going on in the game. Well we won't have to just watch the action for too much longer as X-Morph will be getting a final release later this month.
Were you excited to finally check out the final version of ARK: Survival Evolved next week? Yeah, well, got some bad news for you. You'll have to wait until the end of August now... you know, when all the video games are coming out.
The pride of building a really dope fort still seems to be lingering from last weekend, so it's looking like the Co-Opticrew will be staying the course and enjoying a double dose of Fortnite. However(!), Supergiant's latest game, Pyre, is also out, so a couple of us will also be fighting for our freedom by straight dunkin' on fools.
We're still waiting for some co-op focused videos/info for the newest Monster Hunter title, Monster Hunter: World, but in the meantime Capcom is providing plenty of other goodies. This week, they've released a number of videos that highlight the 14 weapons you'll be able to use in the game.
If you've got an Xbox Live Gold subscription and an Xbox One, then you've got a date with the ultimate evil this weekend. Until 11:59 PM EDT Monday, July 31, you can head over to the Xbox Store or select the "Gold Member" area from the Xbox One dashboard and download Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition for free.
Here's something new in the world of shmups: dual-battlefields and puzzles. 2Awesome Studio's Dimension Drive, which has been in Steam Early Access since February, will finally see its PC debut this fall in addition to coming to the Nintendo Switch.
While Path of Exile is nearly four years old, the massively popular free-to-play ARPG has never previously received a console treatment. Yesterday, that milestone was met when the game entered closed beta on Xbox One.
Sometime in the near future, Nubia will be joining the list of "Things Gandhi Can Nuke", as Firaxis has announced it as the next playable civ in Civilization 6. Soon enough, Gandhi's quest will be complete, and he'll be able to nuke every kingdom/nation/afterschool club that has ever existed.
Last year we learned that the latest Final Fantasy title, Final Fantasxy XV, would be getting some online co-op DLC at some point. It seems that time is nearly upon us as there will be a closed beta test of the "Comrades" DLC starting next Thursday, August 3 and ending the following Tuesday, August 8.
