Drinkbox had a couple of big announcements left to share during Wednesday’s Gamescom Opening Night Live.
The first big announcement is thatNobody Saves the Worldisn’t just a single-player action RPG. It’s also a co-op multiplayeraction RPG. WhenNobody Saves the Worldarrives, it’ll support two-player online co-op, allowing friends to play through the game each in different forms befitting their playstyle. Drinkbox explains that it’ll be hop-in multiplayer, too, with players able to join others' campaigns and then return to their own game without losing progression.

Co-op will be the exact sameNobody Saves the Worldexperience as with single-player when it comes to progression through the game. However,co-op multiplayeralso unlocks unique gameplay as two players can synergize their forms and abilities. Some examples provided include basic melee knights and ranged bow users synergy, doubling up on summoning abilities with forms that summon either zombies or animal familiars, or both turning into a horse and using the Kickback ability to lock an enemy in a neverending death loop.
The second big announcement forNobody Saves the Worldis that Drinkbox’s game will be coming toXbox Game Passwhen it launches. It’ll be supported on both Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S as well as Xbox Game Pass for PC. There are currently no plans to launchNobody Saves the Worldon PlayStation platforms, but it could happen down the line.
The last announcement, which was made indirectly, is thatNobody Saves the Worldhas been delayed out of 2021. It was previously confirmed to launch later this year, but has now beendelayed into early 2022, instead. That’s not a particularly exciting announcement, but if Drinkbox needs more time then it needs more time.
This is the second big reveal forNobody Saves the World, but there’s still plenty left of the action RPG to show fans going forward. Expect Drinkbox to spend the months leading up to the release ofNobody Saves the Worldsharing more details about the game’s forms and gameplay loop.
