New Co-Op Adventure: A Soulslike Experience on Xbox

A new game called Slime Heroes is getting ready to make its big debut on Xbox Series X/S and PC on February 13, 2025. Initially, it will be available exclusively on Xbox for a while before opening up to other platforms. This cooperative action RPG allows players to step into the shoes of a charming slime character on a mission to rescue a corrupted land from its fallen protectors. You can navigate through dungeons teeming with obstacles and foes alone or with friends in co-op mode. One of the most exciting features of Slime Heroes is the chance to absorb the special abilities of defeated enemies, allowing you to build a personalized arsenal of skills. You can also mix these newfound abilities or use various weapons to tackle tough boss battles.

Once the game has made its mark on Xbox and PC, Slime Heroes will eventually be available on Nintendo and PlayStation, expanding its reach. Although the Switch version has been in the works since November 2024 and targeted for release in the first quarter of 2025, there’s no word yet on when it will hit the PlayStation consoles. However, a new gameplay trailer has already sparked excitement among fans.

For those who prefer a more lighthearted twist in their games, Slime Heroes might remind you of titles like Another Crab’s Treasure, which adds a playful touch to the traditionally intense Soulslike genre. Among other similar games, it offers a delightful contrast to the dark themes usually associated with these types of games.

In the past decade, Soulslike games have earned a robust following, thanks to iconic titles like Bloodborne and Elden Ring renowned for their challenging gameplay and immersive storytelling. Many developers have ventured into the genre with remarkable entries, such as Lies of P by Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio. Pancake Games is now throwing its hat into the ring with Slime Heroes, promising a fresh and entertaining take on the genre with its unique cooperative gameplay and fascinating world.

This upcoming release also adds to the delight of Xbox and PC gamers, giving them an early taste of what Slime Heroes has to offer. Developed by Pancake Games and published by Whitethorn Games, this title promises an engaging adventure where creativity meets strategy, encouraging players to wield and combine powers in new and exciting ways as they save a world on the brink of despair.
