[Seattle, WA - June 3, 2025] – Explore the enchanting realm of medieval life sim RPG Mirthwood with friends for the first time in the new Co-Op Update announced during ClemmyGames’ Best Indie Games Summer Showcase 2025. This update introduces both local co-op features and Steam Remote Play compatibility, so players can journey with companions on the adventure ahead.
Venture into the Freelands of Mirthwood, where you can truly choose and curate your fate with a friend at your side for the first time. Forge your unique identity and embark on an adventure filled with farming, fighting, love, and more — the options are limitless! Experience synchronous drop-in/drop-out local co-op and a dynamic shared screen for seamless collaboration. Players will retain their own levels, skills, and inventories when switching between co-op and single-player modes, maintaining each player’s unique attributes. All features that players have encountered on their adventures in solo mode can now be enjoyed with company, including marriage and starting a family.
Prepare to band together as Mirthwood local and Steam Remote Play co-op will be available later this summer, with online co-op releasing at a later date. Stay up to date on news straight from the Freelands of Mirthwood by visiting the official website and joining the Discord!
