Blog Post - Being Wicked Together

Hey everyone,

It's been a little quiet lately - because we've been rebuilding.

As we move closer to our 1.0 release, the team's been deep in the trenches polishing systems, testing some wild ideas, and pushing toward one of your most requested features: Co-op.

And yes, we've been playing Wicked a lot... to ensure that when this update launches, you'll have exactly the experience we've always wanted you to have.

With No Rest for the Wicked, we've always aspired to change what multiplayer could mean in an ARPG: Not just "joining someone's session temporarily", but truly living together in the same world.

A world that remembers you - whether you started a realm or joined one.

A world shaped by what you and your friends leave behind.

What Co-op Really Means for Wicked

We've always believed that the ideal multiplayer experience for ARPGs lies somewhere between how the genre traditionally handled co-op and how MMORPGs do: more social than what ARPGs have offered, but less restrictive than what's possible within an MMO.

When someone joins your world in Wicked, they don't just pass through.

They become a citizen of your world, they help to shape it... and create memories within it.

Moments like your friend resurrecting you just in time to beat that impossible boss.

Or you logging in one morning and finding them peacefully fishing at a pond.

Your realm celebrating after you finally find that elusive item everyone wanted.

Or your buddy finding a particularly creative way to troll you.

Those moments become stories you'll tell forever - stories your realm remembers.
That's what makes Co-op in Wicked different.

Because you're playing on a persistent, shared realm, you and your friends aren't just guests in each other's games - you're co-architects of a shared world that belongs to you.
