Although Shadow Warrior 2 is designed mostly for a single player, it also features a very fun co-op mode. But, it might be a bit hard to understand how it works, especially since the game doesn’t really explain it at all.
How to Play Co-op/Multiplayer in Shadow Warrior 2
The option to play multiplayer will only become available once you’ll finish the game’s tutorial mission, “All in a Day’s Work”.
From that point, when you return to the main menu, you’ll have the option to join the games of other players and play with them. These games take place on a variety of maps, so you can choose whichever you feel like playing.
On the right, you can change the level of difficulty you’re looking for, but keep in mind that every multiplayer game is slightly harder compared to the single-player one.
Hosting a Game
Of course, you can also host your own game, however, since there are no big options in the menu for that, you might not know how to do it at first.
That’s because the option to host a multiplayer game becomes available once you press “resume game” in the main menu.
On the right of your save file there will be a smaller “Select Play Mode” menu. From it, you can choose the option to make this game session a multiplayer one, meaning other players will be able to join.
If you don’t want strangers to drop in, you can pick the “invited only” options, which basically means making a private server. Now, all that’s left to do is set the difficulty and start fighting the hordes of demons with allies by your side!
