New Co-Op Adventure The Missing Tail Combines It Takes Two Mechanics with Feline Chaos
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
The Missing Tail is an upcoming couch co-op game from developer Estoty that combines It Takes Two-style puzzle solving with feline mischief. Players control two distinct cats navigating a medieval fantasy world with local splitscreen support.
Co-op players looking for their next shared adventure might have a strong contender on the horizon. Developer Estoty has pulled back the curtain on The Missing Tail, an upcoming cooperative game that channels the puzzle-solving mechanics of hits like It Takes Two while letting players inhabit a pair of very different felines. The story pairs a sheltered royal palace cat named Pepper with a street-smart stray named Dash, requiring both players to coordinate closely across a medieval fantasy setting to find their way home.
Gameplay footage reveals plenty of familiar cooperative beats, from carrying torches together to boosting each other up to hard-to-reach ledges. True to the spirit of feline-centric hits like Stray, the developers are also leaning into the inherent chaos of being a cat. Players can expect to knock items off shelves and disrupt human NPCs while navigating the world, balancing the main quest with classic mischief. Couch co-op fans will also be glad to see local splitscreen support included, and only one copy of the game is needed for local sessions.
As the industry continues to move past the era where couch co-op felt entirely sidelined, titles like this show how well puzzle-platforming thrives on shared screens. The resurgence sparked by games like It Takes Two has paved the way for more cozy, cooperative experiences that bring friends together on the couch or online. While The Missing Tail does not yet have a firm release date, eager players can already add it to their wishlists on PlayStation and Steam, with an Xbox version on the way and playtest sign-ups currently open. Game Rant originally reported these details.
