Since Tripwire's Killing Floor 3 arrived last year, the game has received several big updates. That's how things have to be if a developer wants a game's multiplayer modes active. The game launched with "perks" (classes) being locked to specific character skins, and fans weren't having it. Well, that issue has since been fixed, and the new "Operation: Shadow Hunter" update primarily adds lots of new content for loyal floor killers to enjoy. We took the game's 6-player online co-op for a  fresh spin and had a blast with it.

It seems like only last month that Limited Run games was announcing MARVEL MaXimum Collection, a compilation of 13 classic games featuring Marvel characters. Hey, that actually was last month! Well, the collection must have been nearly ready in February, because MARVEL MaXimum Collection will land on all platforms on Friday, March 27. That's so soon!

Nowadays, there are so many old-school console and arcade titles that are impossible to legally own and play on modern platforms. Thankfully, some publishers do strive to rescue and publish classic games for today's audiences - see Super Bomberman Collection for a recent example. Now Limited Run Games is stepping up to the plate with an impressive compilation of its own: MARVEL MaXimum Collection. The collection features a total of 13 games, five of which will support co-op!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2013730/Gourdlets/The original Gourdlets was a cozy town-building game starring cute vegetable people. It's said to be light on content, but it only costs a five spot. AuntyGames and Future Friends are aiming for a bigger, better game with Gourdlets Together. The sequel is due later this year. It will add fishing, new stuff to build, and most excitingly, 16-player online co-op.

Even though we haven't covered Killing Floor 3 all that much, please don't mistake that for a lack of enthusiasm. Killing Floor 2 is one of my all-time favorite co-op shooters, and I thought the Killing Floor 3 closed beta was pretty terrific. Some other players must've had a different impression, however, providing lots of constructive criticism to Tripwire, the series developer. Hence, Killing Floor 3 has been delayed from its original March 25 release date to a nebulous "later in 2025" release window. Darn it!

PowerWash Simulator from FuturLab has enjoyed a steady following since it appeared on consoles and PC a few years back. When PowerWash Simulator VR arrived on Meta Quest, we were pretty excited about the new level of immersion that the game would have in virtual reality. It was actually really good! But sadly, FuturLab recently announced that the VR version of the game won't be getting future updates or DLC.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is one of the most popular beat 'em ups of the last few years, so it came as no surprise when the game received a DLC entitled "Dimension Shellshock." We even interviewed the developer, Tribute Games, about it. What did come as a surprise, however, is when Xbox published a trailer for a second DLC called "Radical Reptiles" today. No press release was sent out, and the DLC doesn't seem to be available just yet. Update: The DLC went live on September 24!

Since it arrived on Steam Early Access at the beginning of the year, Enshrouded has developed a very enthusiastic following. Keen Games continually publishes updates to add more content and refine the game. Case in point: the "Back to the Shroud" update adds difficulty configuration options, more character customization options, and a host of decorative items for the player's base. This should all help the game's 16-player online co-op experience be even more engaging.

Way back in the innocent time of 2013, MAGES released a beat 'em up called Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds on Xbox 360. A few years later, an enhanced version by the name of Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Overdrive landed on PlayStation 4, followed by a Switch port. All of those versions were delisted earlier this year, but there is good news! The game will be coming back to life on all modern platforms as Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate, courtesy of Rocket Panda, the new IP owner.

Starship Troopers: Extermination, the large-scale co-op shooter from Offworld, is due to fully launch on consoles and Steam in October. In the meantime, the Steam Early Access version continues to grew and improve, as evidenced by this week's Version 0.8 update. The new update adds a brand new planet, weak points on enemies, persistent bug bodies, and more.

The Killing Floor series of horror-themed first-person shooters has been around for a long time. The first game was a bit rough looking but fun. Killing Floor 2 then came along and looked like the first game but better. Now, Killing Floor 3 is in the works, and it looks like the second game but better. We know this for sure because the new game's first gameplay trailer has just debuted. Yes, it looks like the previous game, but also incredibly fun!

A long time ago, Starship Troopers was a book by the great Robert Heinlein. Then it was a movie directed by the talented Paul Verhoeven. Lately, it has taken the form of Starship Troopers: Extermination, a large-scale co-op shooter from Offworld on Steam Early Access. Soon, Extermination will fully launch, not only on Steam but also on Xbox Se...
