Since MultiVersus fully launched in May, the game has gone through 3 "seasons," adding new characters and content around a seasonal battle pass. Season 4 is due to start on November 12, and it will add Raven, a fan-favorite character from Teen Titans, and Marceline, the vampire queen from Adventure Time to the roster of unlockable characters. The update also promises a new team-based competitive mode called Arena and two new maps.

Following the success of the Capcom Fighting Collection and Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle, Capcom has finally bundled all of their Marvel fighters onto modern platforms as Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. And what’s more, the 1994 co-op beat ‘em up The Punisher is included as well. ...

We've been waiting for Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age, the upcoming fighting game from Maximum Entertainment, for almost a year now. You just don't see many cooperative fighting games, after all. Well, gamers won't have to wait too much longer for Diesel Legacy, as the game will be launching on consoles and PC on December 3. That's just a couple of months away!

While The Behemoth is best known for their Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers franchises, once upon a time, the studio made a really unique platformer called BattleBlock Theater. Well, the Steam version of BattleBlock Theater is getting a nice update soon. That's really cool, but even better, the game will be coming to modern consoles as well! 

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age is an upcoming fighting game from Maximum Entertainment. Through a couple of public playtests, we've been able to try out several of the co-op fighter's unique steampunk characters. There's no public playtest at present (other than an event demo at this weekend's Evo fighting game tournament), but a fresh trailer shows off a sultry new character named Damkina and teases an additional female fighter. Diesel Legacy needs to hurry up and come out!

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night will always be remembered as the game that popularized the Metroidvania genre, and one of its key contributors is Koji Igarashi. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Igarashi and his studio, ArtPlay, along with 505 Games, released Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night in 2019. Bloodstained is a 2.5D ...

Today's Nintendo direct was home to all sorts of cool announcements. For me, the coolest of them all was Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, an upcoming collection of 7 of Capcom's classic Marvel arcade games. Six of those are fighting games, but the seventh is the co-op The Punisher beat 'em up! The collection is coming to PlayStation, Switch, and Steam. Xbox, for some strange reason, was left out of today's announcement.

The original Shovel Knight was a popular platformer with local co-op and a great retro art style. Yacht Club Games ended up offering that first game as both Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (all DLC included) and Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope (just the main game). That's not confusing! Also not confusing is today's announcement of Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX, a remake of the original game that adds 2-player online co-op and many other choice features. So far, we only know it's coming to Steam, but other platforms shouldn't be far behind.

When Warner Bros' and Player First's MultiVersus fully launched in May, the game was not without technical issues. Frame rate stutters and "desync" errors (disconnects) have occasionally marred an otherwise enjoyable Super Smash Bros.-style fighting experience. Thankfully, the version 1.2 update that arrived this week aims to address these issues, hopefully bringing an improved experience to all.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night from 505 Games finally made good on its promise of a co-op mode last month. That hasn't stopped the popular Metroidvania from growing, however; it has just received a new DLC. The "Classic II: Dominique's Curse' DLC adds a new retro-style campaign that makes place after the main game. The game's existing Classic mode is based on the first Castlevania, whereas this new DLC seems to take inspiration from Castlevania II.

If cats can go on quests, then it stands to reason that slimes can be heroes. Slime Heroes from Pancake Games and Whitethorn Games stars a pair of peaceful slimes who are forced to go on an adventure. In addition to customizing cutesy slimes (none of which too closely resemble Dragon Quest slimes), this one features a heartwarming story and 2-player co-op. The free Steam demo is available through June 19.

We've been looking forward to Maximum Entertainment's Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age since we first tried it last year. Co-op fighting games are a rare and special thing, after all, and the game looks pretty slick to boot. It seems that development is making good progress because Maximum has released a fresh Steam demo that sh...
