There were some great ideas and nifty mechanics within Battleborn, but, ultimately, it seems like it was not destined to be a long-running franchise for Gearbox. In a forum post this weekend, Creative Director Randy Varnell stated that "there will be no more Battleplans and there is currently no planned content after the Fall Update." The lights may be on (for now), but nobody is home.
The PlayStation Blog spoke with senior director Jon Horsley from Sledgehammer Games about the Zombie Mode in the forthcoming Call of Duty: WWII. There are a few interesting tidbits scattered in the interview, but it also sounds like there isn't anything particularly new here compared to the Zombie Modes of the previous Call of Duty entries.
Since Bungie decided to fill their latest game with Things That Are Actually Fun, the Co-Opticrew has found it quite a bit more difficult to detach from than the original. As such, our weekend plans continue to feature a stream of aliens, loot, and alien loot.
Sine Mora EX, the extended version of a game about fantasy airplanes and also bullets, is already available for nearly every type of gamer. Luckily, "nearly" just isn't good enough for the folks at Grasshopper Manufacture, which is why they'll be bringing the bullet hell shooter to the Nintendo Switch on September 26th.
There wasn't a whole lot of co-op news coming out of the Nintendo Direct on Wednesday. The previously announced Kirby title finally got a name, Kirby Star Allies, and a few already known co-op titles, like Nine Parchments, were shown off, but other than that, the only other semi co-op news was the announcement of a Super Mario Odyssey Switch bundle that will be available to purchase soon.
If the 1000s of videos on YouTube are to be believed, dancing with your kids is fun! Ubisoft recognizes this and also recognizes you may not exactly want to do some dance moves with them. Enter the new "Kids Mode" for Just Dance 2018.
A little delayed this week on word of the new co-op releases; it's fair to blame Destiny 2 and trying to get "Raid ready." Just because I'm loot shooting, though, that doesn't mean the co-op releases stop! This week we've got Pro Evolution Soccer 2018, Divinity: Original Sin II, Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition, and more!
Bungie's next big loot-shooter, Destiny 2, has finally arrived on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. If this is your first time playing a Destiny game, you might have some questions about what all you can do with your friends; fortunately, we've got a Co-Op FAQ.
ArmA 3, a game known for its hardcore simulation of military combat, is shifting its focus slightly with its latest DLC, "Laws of War". Where much of the base game centers around the moment-to-moment action and tactical decisions required in a firefight, "Laws of War" hones in on the effects of those firefights on both civilians living in the area and humanitarian workers attempting to repair the damage done afterward.
Just a couple weeks ago, Neocore Games' latest action-RPG, Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr, dropped onto Steam Early Access. Since then, our usual Co-Opticrew has been poking around a bit to see what's going on in there, and last night, we streamed (eventually) some of it.
While folks are still busy gearing up and getting ready for the first raid on the console version of Destiny 2, a listing for the first bit of DLC for the title has popped up on the Microsoft store. Titled "Curse of Osiris," this expansion seems to follow in the same suite as that "Taken King" for original Destiny by adding a new planet to explore (Mercury), new weapons and armor, new missions, and more.
We're getting closer to November, which means the next Call of Duty title is just around the corner. It also means it's time for the final piece of DLC from last year's Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare to drop. "Retribution" is available today on the PlayStation 4, and will be available next month for Xbox One and PC.
