XType Plus will get off-TV play in an update, co-op likely as well
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
XType Plus is out now on the Wii U eShop, but PhobosLab isn’t done with the game.
In a Reddit AMA held last week, the developer said that an update is planned, and it will add off-TV play. Co-op is also likely to be come through a patch.
Here’s PhobosLab’s full response when asked about the possibility of co-op being added in the future:
Franky, It’s my first game on a console and I wanted to test the waters first. I didn’t want to develop something for a long time that nobody would be playing in the end.
Reception has been great so far. I’m planing an update and a co-op mode is pretty high on my todo list, along off-tv play. So: yes
