Weekly Co-op News Episode 43 Out Now!

This is Episode 43 of our weekly series about everything happening in the co-op world - a true Gamescom Special!

This week, Path of Exile 2 drops a monster-sized update with fresh story content, big combat tweaks, the first league, and finally: ingame trading - plus a free weekend kicks off with the patch on August 29.

We’re diving into Enshrouded’s Patch 7 “Wake of the Water” coming in October - literally. Also, Cult of the Lamb’s biggest add-on yet, Woolhaven, which sends the flock into frosty new territory in early 2026.

If you’re into open-world survival, Dune: Awakening’s Chapter 2 arrives September 10 with a mix of free content and the “Lost Harvest” DLC - and there’s a limited-time Steam trial running right now. Valheim’s “Call to Arms” also shakes up combat on the test servers with new systems and toys to try.

Fresh reveals: Mistfall Hunter brings dark-fantasy extraction vibes and a September closed beta sign-up, Starsand Island shows off cozy life-sim charm (now targeting spring 2026), and Witchspire teases broom-flying, creature familiars, survival crafting - and co-op.

Our Newsflash is packed as well:

• “Gods, Death & Reapers” (formerly Project Pantheon) opens beta sign-ups and adds a pure co-op mode.
• Lost Ark welcomes the Valkyrie with fast-track events.
• Delta Force lands on PS5/Xbox with crossplay and the classic co-op campaign.
• Monster Hunter Wilds x Final Fantasy XIV collab is on the horizon.
• And more news about Fallout 76, Grounded 2, Vexlands, Infinity Nikki, No More Room in Hell, FragPunk and so much more!

In our Free-Section: Dying Light: The Beast is coming, so the original Dying Light is free to play this weekend. Perfect time to parkour with friends!
