This makes the update a great time for old players to jump back in and finish anything that they may have left unfinished. With a team of geese, all tasks should be much simpler to complete. Some examples include getting dressed in the sculpture’s ribbon or being awarded the flower from the bistro patrons. This can even be used to drag along items that would be almost impossible (or at least very difficult) to carry during single player.Īdditionally, in the few instances where a single goose would need to be stationary, the other player can freely move around. This can be best utilized with very important items that are carried like the gardener’s key, the neighbor’s slipper, or the tower bell. The first one can also then turn into an interceptor to block off any people that figure out that their ally just stole something. One goose can act as a distraction by honking or getting close to a human, while the other swoops in to grab an item.
The human NPCs can only really deal with one player at a time, leaving the other free to cause havoc. With two geese in play, many puzzles and objectives can be completed much easier. It can be a good idea for both players to remain relatively close and move in a similar direction to avoid being boxed in. This can be especially troublesome in areas with multiple levels of elevation, like the outdoor bistro. This can mean that there are some times when one goose can get stuck in place due to a passage being out of camera view or blocked by an object. Once started, each goose will have a distinctive peak shape, honk sounds, and color of their beak and feet (yellow and orange).Ĭo-Op mode has a limited camera range, both players can only move a certain distance from each other before the camera will no longer zoom out or pan. For Switch, each player can use a single Joy-Con.
On PC, a controller will need to be attached as player one will move via mouse and keyboard.
This includes Share Play on PlayStation 4 and the program Parsec on PC and Mac. However, certain platforms are able to mimic couch Co-Op via streaming. Two geese equals twice the fun sounds like pretty basic math, you know? And if you’ve been cooped up with your family or roommates for the last five months, being able to team up and hassle some squares sounds like a great break from the pandemic blues.The Co-Op mode can be selected from a new save file and is only available via local play. Adding more doesn’t always make something better, especially in games and comedy, but this looks like a situation where more is exactly what everybody needed. Instead of just sitting there, ignored and forlorn, Untitled Goose Game has made like its title antihero and refused to be denied: it’ll be getting a brand new local co-op mode in September, complete with a second goose.ĭeveloper House House revealed the news on YouTube today, in a trailer that focuses like a laser on all the utterly rude and petty mischief you and a friend will be able to indulge in. There’s been too much going on in the world these last six months to spend any time with last year’s surprise hit. To be honest, I haven’t thought much about Untitled Goose Game lately.
