World War Z ended up surprising us last year with it's unique take on the zombie shooter genre, its set pieces and sheer scale setting it apart from the likes of Left 4 Dead or even Call of Duty's zombie mode. Now Saber Interactive have announced a GOTY edition of the game with an all new map featuring three new missions.
Earlier this year, Arc System Works released the Double Dragon & Kunio-kun Retro Brawler Bundle for modern consoles and Switch, bringing heaps of NES beat ‘em up goodness to Sony’s console. It looked like Xbox owners would be left out of the fun, but that has thankfully changed today. Seven of the games from the Retro Brawler Bundle are now available as $5 individual downloads on Xbox One. At last, Microsoft fans can play Double Dragon II, Double Dragon III, and River City Ransom in local and online co-op! While the Xbox Store page does list Double Dragon as having co-op, since this is the NES version of the game, it actually does not offer cooperative play - instead it's a two player versus mode.
The Co-Opticrew is both movin' and shakin' this weekend, and we won't stop until we get what's rightfully ours. On the movin' front, that means a new house and a new life. Shakin'-wise, we're looking for an ungodly amount of fruit (and hopefully none of those dadgum wasps). Be on the lookout for our next weekly check-in to see if we achieved either of those things.
Sometimes I like to be pleasantly surprised when I read about a game that I wasn't following. StarCrossed from Contigo Games seems to fit that bill. The SHMUP genre of the game caught my eye, but when I read about its co-op focus I was really intrigued. I may not be a huge fan of the "magical girl" aesthetic, but I'm willing to give it a try.
It's been nearly nine years since Saints Row: The Third glimpsed a world in which the eponymous Saints had reached celebrity status, and what a world it was. Luckily, we no longer have to daydream about such a place (or bust out our old consoles to explore it), because Saints Row: The Third Remastered is releasing on May 22nd.
Sony is joining the fight against Corona, enticing gamers to stay home and play games instead of going out in the world risking spread of the disease. Wow, that just sounds bad. But welcome to 2020 folks.
Gather round, ye hunters and gatherers, for another significant title update is headed to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. The game's expansive, frozen wastes are getting slightly more dangerous (and rewarding) come April 23rd, when Title Update 3.5 releases.
If you’ve been waiting to get the furniture moved out of your digital houses (and space stations) now is your chance to reserve your place in line to do just that. SMG Studios’s upcoming moving simulator, Moving Out, has gone live for pre-orders while offering four additional skins to players who buy the game in advance; Bruce, Professor Inkle, Sprinkles, and Dials.

The upcoming Minecraft Dungeons that was originally set to come later this month will officially arrive May 26th across all consoles per a recent tweet from the official Minecraft Dungeons Twitter account. While the delay has added an additional month, it is exciting to know the game will still be out before summer is underway. Currently the game is set to release across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC when it does come digging its way into the marketplace.
Loads of people right now are working from home and staying inside playing games (including the Co-Optimus staff). MMO studios are in the same boat, meaning that we’ll see some delays in the coming weeks and months for content related to MMOs. At the same time, they’re doing their best to keep us entertained by offering their regul...
Free to Play title Dauntless has been all about hunting giant monsters with friends. But now the game has launched a less stressful co-op activity.

You can check out a brief summary of what’s in this update over on the Steam news page, here.
