It Takes Twooffers a unique deal for those who want to play co-op games: If one person buys the game, they can invite a family member or friend to play with them for free.

In April, Hazelight Studios teased onXthat they’ll be talking about “new (real good) stuff cooking” later in 2024. Perhaps this year’s Game Awards will be the time wehear about this news. TheIt Takes Twosales numbers show there will be interest in the developer’s next big game. Hopefully, no stuffed animals will be harmed in the making of it.
