Local Co-op is coming to Outbreak: Epidemic!

Hey Survivors! Fast off the heels of Outbreak: The New Nightmare getting local co-op, we're happy to announce it's coming to Outbreak: Epidemic as well! You will be able to play the entire game in 2-player splitscreen co-op. This will be coming to Steam first and then consoles later in 2020!

Local Co-op Overview

You'll access splitscreen co-op through the new Local Game menu (replacing the Single-player menu).

Once there, you can either set up a solo or local co-op game by selecting your characters for each player. If P2 is set to None, you'll play solo. If you set a character, you'll enter local co-op when the game starts.

Both players will be able to select their characters and fully level them up during gameplay. All characters are pulled from the owner's Steam profile. Everyone shares EXP, so each player will get equal XP as you fight through the scenarios. All game modes and scenarios are supported in local co-op.

You can customize controls for each player in the Options -> Controls menu. Either player can use Keyboard, mouse or gamepad and all controls can be rebinded.

You can also see the current stats and EXP of each player via the Options menu.

Unfortunately, due to current limitations, only one inventory screen can be up at the same time. BUT you can still use the hotkeys to quickly equip your different weapons without going into the inventory and interrupting gameplay.

Stay tuned for details on when this patch will be going live. As with Outbreak: The New Nightmare, local co-op is experimental and you may encounter bugs or other issues. You can expect patches for both titles in the near future as the experience is refined.

Thanks for playing the Outbreak series. The best is still yet to come!

Outbreak: Epidemic Linux [6.62 G]

The infection spreads like never before in Outbreak: Epidemic, the free-to-play co-op survival horror nightmare from Dead Drop Studios. Experience the nationwide epidemic as you and up to three friends lead Gwen, Renault, Kara and Tom through the undead apocalypse. Outbreak: Epidemic features the series classic tough-as-nails survival horror gameplay powered by the next-generation Outbreak engine. Experience the nightmare close up through over-the-shoulder claustrophobic gameplay as you blast and slash your way through the epidemic.

The free-to-play version allows you to play up to 4-player co-op (or solo) on any game mode or scenario across the Campaign, Onslaught and Experiments modes, so there's never a time where you can't group up and take on the undead. You'll have access to pick a single character and starting class, with some limited restrictions on progression and other systems. The free-to-play version also limits you to starting games on Easy or Normal difficulty (but you can join games on any difficulty). When you're ready to experience more of the nightmare, you can choose to buy an upgrade to unlock all the characters, their classes and the additional difficulty options.

The epidemic will begin as an Early Access experience where over time more content, including scenarios, game modes and more will become available. Any premium content will be offered at a discount during the Early Access phase. Your feedback will directly shape the game and your support will help it grow into the survival horror experience the world has been waiting for. You only have one life, can you survive the epidemic?
