It Takes Two is now available for PC and consoles, offering a co-op
action/adventure from developer Hazelight and publisher Electronic Arts. And
since this requires co-op play the game comes with a Friend's Pass to allow one
friend to play along for free. There's a
Friend's Pass
FAQ to answer any faqing questions you may have about this process. There's
also a separate Friend's Pass Free Trial that allows players to check out the
first level for free. The Windows edition is sold on both
Origin and
Steam.
Here's the
Official Launch Trailer, and here's more on the game:
Today, BAFTA
awarding-winning Hazelight Studios and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) have
released It Takes Two, a purely co-op experience that delivers a genre-bending
platform adventure, on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series
X|S and PC via Origin and Steam. With uniquely varied gameplay that seamlessly
intertwines with the narrative in what GameRant calls “co-op gaming genius,” It
Takes Two ups the ante in co-op innovation and puts players on a thrilling ride
to enjoy either on the couch or online with a friend. Lauded by Game Informer as
“a roaring success” and “one of the year’s best games,” It Takes Two brings
players on a wild journey as Cody and May, a clashing couple who must learn to
work together and overcome their differences to escape the fantastical world
they’ve found themselves in.
“We’ve got a real game-changer here and the co-op genre is going to have no idea
what hit them,” said Josef Fares, Founder and Game Director at Hazelight
Studios. “There will be times the game will have you laughing, other times when
it will pull at your heart strings and even moments where your pulse is racing
because the gameplay is just that frantic. It’s all there, and we can’t wait to
hear what fans have to say about it.”
“Hazelight goes beyond innovation and are true disruptors in their approach to
game making, building experiences that bring players together in original ways,”
said Steve Pointon, SVP 3rd Party Content & Development at Electronic Arts.
“They are in every sense electronic artists and we are honoured to have
supported them with their inspiring vision for It Takes Two, an action adventure
that intimately blends humour, heart and gameplay in a co-op experience like no
other.”
As players try to untangle the complicated web Cody and May are trapped
in thanks to a magic spell that turns them into dolls, they’ll encounter
ridiculous challenges around every corner. The unpredictable nature of each
level will bring players through a uniquely metaphorical gameplay experience
that tells a universal story of relationships, as Cody and May must work
together to save their fractured marriage on the brink of divorce. Whether it’s
vacuum cleaners on the loose, suave love gurus with lots of opinions or a night
club in desperate need of a DJ, obstacles will pop up around every corner,
making for some hilariously heartfelt
moments.
