He wrote:

We haven’t seen the new game in action, but that should change in just a few days. The new FPS will be playable at PAX East later this week.

Both are coming very soon, Capcom has said. The company “is working closely with Nintendo to make these available for download as soon as possible and apologize for the delay.”

It’s been awhile since we last heard about CastleStorm – close to a year. Today, Zen Studios finally unveiled the game’s multiplayer mode.

CastleStorm’s multiplayer aspects are kept separate from the single-player campaign. That means you can progress – level up and gather experience – independently. All modes will playable locally or online.

Here’s a rundown of each, straight from Zen Studios:

1 vs. 1 split-screen mode: simply try and beat your opponent by bashing in their castle. Choose your side (the noble Knights or the ragtag Vikings) and then choose your arsenal of weapons wisely. Face off, castle to castle and the first to completely demolish his or her opponent’s castle wins!

Survival Co-op: Two players team up to fight off waves of enemies together! Assign one player to control the ballista and the other to control ground forces. Good timing and great aim are essential in Survival Co-op as friendly fire could be harmful to your own troops on the ground.

Last Stand Co-op mode: Would you rather ditch the castle and do some hand-to-hand combat out in the battlefield? Check out the Last Stand Co-op mode where both players control a hero and battle wave after wave of enemies together! The object is to stay alive as long as you can, but remember, enemies can come from either side so be ready.

Take a look at the video above for CastleStorm’s multiplayer in action.
