Throwback shooterAgent 64: Spies Never Diehas just received a brand new trailer, confirming the game will feature local split-screen co-op and competitive multiplayer.
Heavily inspired by Rare’s legendary Nintendo 64 shooters,GoldenEye 007(which can now be played viaNintendo Switch Online’s N64 library)andPerfect Dark, Agent 64: Spies Never Die’slatest trailer was shown off during publisher 3D Realms’Realms Deep showcase.
The new trailer shows off more ofAgent 64’sblocky, 64-bit style complete with destructible environments, explosions that overstay their welcome, expressionless character models, heavy auto-aim, and a complete lack of reload animations. And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The real cherry on top of the cake here is thatAgent 64: Spies Never Die’slatest trailer confirms both two-player split-screen co-op play and local competitive multiplayer for up to four players. This is fantastic to see, as the multiplayer suites for bothGoldenEye 007andPerfect Darkwere, arguably, their best features.
Hopefully, multiplayer inAgent 64will be just as customizable as it was in Rare’s classic shooters. I’m hoping to see modifiers for weapon loadouts here (yes, including an unarmed ‘slappers only’ option), tons of maps and characters, and an array of modes to mix up standard deathmatch play.
Agent 64: Spies Never Diedoesn’t have a concrete release date as of yet, but the trailer confirms it’ll launch for PC sometime in 2023, and can bewishlisted now on Steam. Console ports for the title haven’t been confirmed yet, either, but, given that other retro throwback shooters likeDuskandIon Furyhave made their way toPS5,Xbox Series X|S, andNintendo Switch, a wider release is certainly within the realms of possibility.
If Agent 64: Spies Never Die nails the execution, it could be right up there with thebest FPS gamesof 2023, and potentially one of thebest co-op gamesfor those who love local play.
