E3 2018 EA Play: Unravel Two Brings Multiplayer to Series

Popular puzzle-platformer Unravel is getting a sequel, revealed at the EA Play press conference for E3, and this time players get to bring a friend. Unravel Two will feature co-op gameplay, in a manner that allows players to drop in and out at will. Getting help with difficult puzzles will no longer require phoning a friend, simply jump on and help out at will.

As revealed in the press conference, the game can actually be played in both single player and co-op, with puzzles designed for both styles of gameplay. The Yarnys in Unravel Two seem to be much faster and more acrobatic, with the levels likewise looking much more expansive than the original. The sequel generally seems faster paced, with a lot more swinging moves, jumping puzzles, and enemies that will chase you down.

The two Yarnys featured in the reveal and trailer are Red and Blue, though reports from the ground indicate that it is possible to change colors and even features allowing for more customization in making your particular Yarny unique. Players can work together through the main storyline, as well as a challenge mode which features much more difficult levels to puzzle through. Some puzzles will require the Yarnys to merge together, becoming a single creature to find the solution.

It’s always nice to see a multiplayer addition to a popular game, and Unravel Two looks to be the co-op puzzle game we’ve been waiting for since the likes of Portal 2.
