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.
WayForward's River City Girls 2 has been out for nearly two years now, but new things are still in store for it. The highly anticipated "Double Dragon" DLC was announced back in April without a release date. Well, it turns out that release is nearly upon us! The "Double Dragon" DLC will be released on November 12, adding two new playable characters and more. A free update will arrive at the same time, so everybody's River City Girls 2 experience is about to get better.
Earlier this year, Digital Eclipse and Atari announced two DLC expansions for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, the comprehensive collection of Atari games and documentary content. The first DLC, "The Wilder World of Atari," arrived at the end of September. The second DLC, "The First Console War," will launch on November 8. It promises 19 new games and lots of behind-the-scenes materials, though we don't expect any of the new games to feature co-op multiplayer.
This year has seen the arrival of several high-profile licensed co-op games, such as TMNT: Mutants Unleashed, The Karate Kid: Street Rumble, and G.I. Joe: The Wrath of Cobra. One more licensed game will arrive just before the year's end: the highly anticipated Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind from Digital Eclipse and Atari. The Power Rangers' latest game arrives on consoles and PC on December 10.
The original Shadow of the Ninja (Dark Operative Kage in Japan) is a cult classic NES game from Natsume. Released in 1990, it featured 2-player local co-op – a rarity for 8-bit platformers. Over 30 years later, Natsume Atari’s Tengo Project team and ININ Games have unleashed a full remake onto modern consoles and Steam called Shadow of ...
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!
When it comes to co-op gaming, audio quality can make or break the experience. Communicating effectively with your team, being immersed in the game's world, and hearing every subtle cue can drastically improve gameplay. I've been using Turtle Beach's headsets now for the past few years, with both the iterations of the Stealth 700 Gen 2 tested on this site. But is the Gen 3 enough of a difference? Let's dive in.
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!
Back in June, Atari announced that paid DLC for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration was in the works, along with an Expanded Edition that will bundle the original collection and DLC. At last, that DLC is close to being released. it's coming out on September 26, and it's called "The Wider World of Atari." Atari is too cool to reveal the games that will be included just yet, but we're crossing our fingers for some co-op titles anyway.
The Care Bears have always been a decently popular children's property, but they've never had a proper console game (just a GameBoy Advance title). That will change on October 24 when Forever Entertainment releases Care Bears: To The Rescue on Switch and Steam. This one is based on the Care Bears: Unlock the Magic show that's apparently streamable on Max, and it will support 4-player local co-op, baby. That's enough players for a real Care Bear Stare, I reckon.
This has been a great year for Ninja Turtles games, and it's not over yet. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed from Outright Games and AHeartfulofGames is due out on October 18. Possibly the most ambitious TMNT game this year, Mutants Unleashed will feature a new story based on the most recent film, lots of fresh mutants to battle, and 2-player local co-op. The latest gameplay trailer provides a tantalizing glimpse of the Turtles action to come!
The popular Funko Pops toyline finally has a full game to call its own. Funko Fusion, from 10:10 Games and Skybound Games, has arrived on consoles and Steam. The third-person action game features over 60 playable Funko Pop characters and levels taken from more than 20 franchises. Surprisingly, however, the co-op multiplayer that was promised back in May is nowhere to be seen. As it turns out, co-op will arrive in November through an update.
