Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for October 2024

Christoph Licht

Normally, it's the PC users that get the short end of the multiplayer-stick, but once again, developer PH3 went above and beyond with their port and added a co-op feature not included in the console releases of Ys X. They still call it "experimental" but as far as we can tell, its a very big step up from Ys IX: Monstrum Nox's humble offering.

Join Us for Our Thirteenth Extra Life Game Day This Saturday

Eric Murphy

What is Extra Life? Great question! It's a charity started by gamers that benefits Children's Miracle Network Hospitals throughout North America. If you reside on this continent, there's probably a children's hospital within driving distance from you, and kids (and adults) you know may have benefitted from these miraculous hospitals. Gamers join Extra Life every year, choose their preferred CMN Hospital, and raise donations throughout the year. Then, on Game Day, we play games to rally for more donations.

to increase the hours in a day from 24 to 48 to decleare each day with more than five major releases (to be determined by a Central Gaming Commitee) as a public holiday and to implement a mandatory "You have to play co-op with at least three friends"-hour each day ("Happy Hour" for short).

We count on YOU to make it happen! And until then we leave you with the overview of what you might've missed last month:

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for August 2024

Christoph Licht

While yes, August did start slow, there were still enough releases to keep us busy for the rest of the year. What?! Christmas season is upon us, and several dozen highly anticipated co-op games will hit store shelves in the upcoming months?! Well... Maybe going outside is not that bad an idea.

'Gori: Cuddly Carnage' Demo Meow Available on All Platforms - Beyond Co-op News

Paul Acevedo

The Gori demo features the first level of the full game. It begins with a fully voiced cinematic depicting a disaster on Gori the cat's spaceship. It's the far future, and no humans are left to repair the ship. Thus, Gori is forced to land on the ruined Earth. There, he soon runs afoul of an army of zombie unicorns, a kaiju-sized bird, a scary box crab, and much more.

Christoph Licht

Speaking of games taking their time: 1991 Platformer Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III from Taito is now available for modern consoles. And with the release Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero, the whole Shockman franchise is now not only ready to be enjoyed by a whole new generation of gamers - it's also the first time all of those titles are officially translated to English. The same goes for Earth Defense Force 6 which hit western store shelves in July.

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for May 2024

Christoph Licht

Four years after its debut, Ghost of Tsushima released on PC, finally expanding the audience for this exquisite action-adventure game. A couple of days before but seven years after the stretch goal was met during the Kickstarter-campaign, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night got its co-op mode. While you can't play through the whole game together, it's still a welcome addition. Another title fans had been waiting a long time for (16 years!) was Endless Ocean Luminous. Finally, Switch owners can go back under sea and enjoy the view with up to 29 friends and/or strangers at their side. And to round out this month's trend, Homeworld 3 hit store shelves - 21 years after the second game. Thankfully, it has a co-op mode for up to three players. So in the end, the long wait was worth it :). Although... judging by what our dear Leader Nick is posting on our Discord server, he's enjoying the gorgeous graphics and the photo mode way more than the actual gameplay.
