As part of a string of updates promised for the rest of 2019, Daemon X Machina has received a free update today which adds a lovely spot of competitive multiplayer into the mix.
You can now join up with friends either online or via local wireless (you'll all need your own copy of the game), strutting your stuff and showing everyone exactly who's the greatest mercenary on the field. Nintendo has provided an official description of the game's bolstered multiplayer offerings, so we'll hand it over:
Join up to three friends via local wireless or online for special co-operative multiplayer missions. Credits, weapons and armour earned in these missions can then be used in both single- and co-op multiplayer modes.
Some co-op missions pit you against colossal Immortal machines in a true fight for survival, where teamwork is the only way to win. You can also face off against opposing Reclaimers in their own Arsenals – take them all down and show your dominance!
Plenty more content is planned for the upcoming months, too, so if you've been left looking for a reason to jump back in, now might be the time to do so. You can catch up on the changes set to come right here.
Have you been waiting for a feature like this? Does this make you want to load up the game for another try? Tell us below.

I don't think I'll be going back to the game just for this since I've finished it and moved onto other things. A welcome addition though. Really fun game but could definitely use a bit more content.
Great to see this game will have support throughout the rest of 2019. Knowing the trend of Nintendo DLC, I am expecting a big story expansion DLC comming to this next year.
How was this game for the single player? My backlog should be illegal. Astral Chain, Gears 5 single player, this game, Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, Borderlands 3 and I end up just playing R6 Siege on PC all the time anyways lol.
Downloaded this last night, so will likely try it out later. Loving the support. 👀
I'm still on the fence as to get this or not. Some people think it's alright, but a lot don't. I loved all of the Armored Core games (not 5 so much), and though there are similarities, this felt different in the demo I played.
@SpacedDuck single player was a bit of a chore. Most players seemed to do what I did and jumped right into multiplayer, playing through the campaign sporadically in between the much more enjoyable modes. The multiplayer on the other hand was a lot of fun, it was just far too short as less than a week and I had pretty much all the best gear available.
I’m only on rank C in single player. I like the co op missions a lot, I’ll have to try this.
I hit A Rank in single over the weekend, but multiplayer is where I enjoy it the most. Nothing like taking down immortals in under 2 minutes with OP reclaimers dancing around like a ballet of hot death.
I still want to pick this up at some point, but it would be a waste at the moment, since it would just be shelved for months while I try to catch up with other games.
@SpacedDuck It’s not bad. Best played sparingly (only a couple of missions a day) rather than binged. Also just ignore the meandering story and blow up what you’re told.
Nice! Will try it out this weekend
This is awesome! Loving this game, much fun for long play sessions, but also awesome for a quick mission from time to time. Looking forward to the new content!
@Roam85 Yeah I quickly started skipping over the story elements when I was playing the demo. The mech action is enjoyable enough but I am not so sure about it for the long run.
As expected Japanese players top the rank, and spamming healing aux is a problem with people abusing the time limit. From my short experience fighting another human is far more intense than any AI can give. Hopefully they will balance some overpowered parts out.
I know it's unlikely, but I'm holding out vain hope for a split screen update. Come on Nintendo, you were the last big publisher consistently offering this.
@SpacedDuck The single player is great for a quick mission. I also like getting 3 other players online to take down a big boss!
Does this need Nintendo online to play multi player?
Are there any penalties for disconnecting during the match?
