Section 13 Reinstates Co-Op Mode With New Update
Section 13, formerly known as Blackout Protocol, by Ocean Drive Studio and published by Kakao Games announced on March 13, 2025 that the latest update of the game will bring new tactical gear, improved enemies, and revive the co-op mode.
Section 13 is a twin-stick roguelite shooter set in a research facility where failed experiments are on the loose and hunting agents from the S2P Corporation. The game is stuffed to the rafters with action, terrors from other dimensions, and intense gameplay.
Single player mode is still available but with the new update rolling out being loosely called “Party Up,” there’s a hint of Section 13 leaning more towards team work.
“Teamwork makes the dream work, and with the relaunch of co-op mode, our players can now sacrifice three employees in one round for maximum efficiency,” a press release said.
The game is currently available in Early Access on Xbox and PC with a release date for PlayStation 5 confirmed for later in 2025.
