Top 10 Co-op Games of 2022: Ultimate Fun with Friends (P1)
Gotham Knights
Rocksteady is not the only developer from Warner Bros specializing in adapting DC games. WB Montreal is another name that the online community has high hopes for with their project Gotham Knights.
No longer centered around the main character Batman, the Gotham Knights this time are Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Red Hood. It is known that this game will feature two-player co-op gameplay, allowing players to engage in battles, complete missions, and uncover mysteries to protect Gotham City just as Batman did before.
Earthlock 2
Earthlock 2 is the sequel to the open-world action RPG Earthlock, featuring complex systems that provide players with extensive freedom to customize their own experiences.
The game is set on the planet Umbra, which has stopped rotating, meaning that one half of the world is completely shrouded in darkness while the other half is continuously scorched under sunlight. Along the border, there is an area that receives the best of both worlds. The game follows a group of friends searching for and rescuing their missing family members.
Saints Row
15 years after its initial launch in 2006, the legendary Saints Row franchise has officially been rebooted. According to Volition and Deep Silver, this will be a Reboot rather than a Remaster or Remake.
According to information revealed by the producers, in Saints Row Reboot, players will be introduced to a new gang, comprised entirely of GenZ members, who are trying to establish a notorious gang in the city of Santo Ileso.
Bryce Charles, one of the voice actors for the Boss character created and controlled by players, promises that the game will take place in the largest city map in the series to date. Saints Row Reboot will be filled with high-octane action, explosions, and fast-paced intense racing.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers
The game consists of 8 players divided into 2 teams. One team consists of 7 civilians in the city recently attacked by dark forces. The other team is called the Raider (comprising the top villains from Dragon Ball). In this upcoming version, there will only be 1 Raider, Cell, while characters like Frieza and Majin Buu will be added later.
The survivors will have a single objective: to escape the city. Meanwhile, the player playing as the Raider will hunt down and eliminate them. The Raider’s power is superior, but the group of survivors can use various items and weapons to hide or even attack the Raider. The victory will belong to the survivors if they can successfully escape (even just one person). Conversely, if they are all eliminated by the Raider, they will lose.
Evil Dead
Evil Dead will be a survival horror game in the style of the famous Friday The 13th: The Game. Players will take on the roles of Ash Williams and other characters from the Evil Dead series as they work to stop an army of demons from invading the world – or control the Kandarian Demon with the intent to eliminate all other players.
In the game, four players will choose their characters from the cast of the Evil Dead series and then move as a small group. Utilizing various weapons like shotguns and performing melee attacks with the iconic chainsaw from the Evil Dead series.
Meanwhile, one player will take on the role of the antagonist, none other than the Kandarian Demon, whose mission is to hunt down the other players in the game. The demon can possess the four other players, manipulate the environment, and fly.
