OK this feels like something that could attract people, the issue will be if they treat it like its going to be a AAA GaaS success out the gate and immediately fuck themselves out of player good will with terrible monetisation or not.

Good solid coop games are very rare, because the issue is many people try them but forget to try and make working as a team feel natural via mechanics rather than force people together with them.

Sounds like no one was impressed by the initial showing.

New game sounds more interesting anyways. We need some more good coop games, with full fledged campaigns and stories. Those can always be really fun.

This looks like contract work in the same vein they did that Crossfire X campaign for Smilegate. Wishing them the best of luck.

I don't care about this project, but at least working close with the chinese allowed Remedy to finance a very risky sequel like Alan Wake 2. It's not a coincidence that nothing happened with that IP for 13 years.
