If you're a fan of the Pokémon-inspired RPG Cassette Beasts on Switch but have been hankering for cassette-battling action with your friends, then you're in luck.
During a 2024 Cassette Beasts Showcase, developer Bytten Studio confirmed that the game will be receiving a substantial update on 20th May, 2024 that will enable multiplayer for up to eight friends. You'll be able to explore the world together, battle against one another, and customise the battling experience with your own set of rules.
Not only that, but the game is also entering into a collaboration with Moonstone Island from the same date, and you'll be able to bag a number of themed items within Cassette Beasts.
Here's exactly what the new update will bring:
- Party and explore the world of Cassette Beasts with up to 8 friends, all visible in their world.
- Join a “Play With Friends” mode where players can match with anyone on their friends list via an invite code
- Challenge their friends in PvP battles and assign custom rules to their battle such as enabling/disabling sticker attributes.
- Team up for 2-player co-op raids against Rogue Fusions, and trade tapes with each other.
