Co-Op PS5 Game Will Include the Beloved Friends Pass

by

The upcoming horror game Reanimal, from the creators of Little Nightmares, is generating a lot of excitement, and developer Tarsier Studios just added another appealing feature: a Friend’s Pass. This means only one person needs to buy the game – a friend can join and play cooperatively for free! While Reanimal can be played solo, the Friend’s Pass makes it easier for two players to experience the game’s terrifying psychological horror together.

Many popular co-op games, like It Takes Two, Split Fiction, and the upcoming Lego Voyagers, as well as party games such as The Jackbox Party Pack and online card games like Exploding Kittens 2, offer a “Friend’s Pass” system. This allows only one person to buy the full game, while their friends can join and play for free. This feature has been well-received because it makes co-op gaming more accessible and affordable, especially for games like Split Fiction that are designed to be played with others. While Reanimal aims to attract solo players, those who prefer to play with a friend can look forward to a Friend’s Pass being available when the game releases.

Reanimal Friend’s Pass Makes it Easier to Play in Co-op

Launching on February 13th for PlayStation 5, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S, Reanimal plunges players back into a creepy and unsettling world. This time, you’ll help a brother and sister team rescue their friends and escape a terrifying island full of dark secrets. The game feels similar to Little Nightmares 1 and 2, with a distinctive art style, but adds a new optional co-op mode with a shared camera to heighten the tension and create a truly unique horror experience. Players will control resilient children who must evade terrifying new enemies as they struggle to survive and find hope in a desperate situation.

Early trailers for the game Reanimal have shown off some truly terrifying monsters, including a particularly disturbing creature made from animal parts and a goat’s head, which quickly caught the attention of horror fans. While Tarsier Studio’s previous games blended scary moments with a lighthearted, quirky style, Reanimal appears to be much more focused on bleakness and dread. The game’s atmosphere feels heavy and unsettling, so it’s not surprising that Tarsier is making it easier for players to team up with a friend to face the frightening challenges ahead.

Look, I get it – some horror purists think having a friend along ruins the scare factor. But trust me, some of the best co-op horror games ever, like Obscure and Sons of the Forest, are genuinely terrifying because of the tension, even with someone watching your back. Now I’m really hyped for Reanimal – it looks even creepier than Little Nightmares, and I’m hoping it delivers a truly scary experience, whether I play it solo or with a friend. I think it has the potential to be a new classic in the horror genre.
