Strategy sim Kingdoms will get local co-op play with Two Crowns DLC

Raw Fury, publisher of the 2015 minimalist strategy simulation Kingdoms, , announced that soon you'll be able to manage your pixelated empire alongside a friend. The Two Crowns DLC will introduce co-op play, letting you recruit villagers, build defenses, tend to your domain, and battle monsters with a pal. Above, you can watch the Switch trailer, but have no fear: the Two Crowns DLC will also arrive on PC.

At the moment, we're told, the only plans for co-op are local splitscreen, so we'll just have to cross our fingers that online co-op will arrive in the future. Two Crowns will arrive "later this year."

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
