Most enemies won't give you too much trouble alone, but together they can cause quite a panic. Occasionally, huge enemies like the towering "Hurker" barrel through the front lines and try to get up close and personal with you. Focusing fire on them with your friends is a good way to get them out of the fight quickly. For the rest of the mobs, there are plenty of silly weapons -- this is Insomniac, after all, developer of Ratchet & Clank -- that you can use to clean house. One fires propane tanks, to give you an idea. When things were exploding and erupting all around, the game looked great and the frame rate didn't dip for a second.

Though you all have a common goal, you're still competing to earn the most points, and you earn them much like you do in the campaign -- by killing with style. The map I played was filled with rails to grind, objects to bounce from, and things to explode. It's acceptable to run around on the ground and treat Sunset Overdrive like most shooters, but it's way more interesting to rain down icy death from the rails above before jumping down and shattering your foes.

Introducing Chaos Squad: Sunset
June 10, 2014News, Sunset OverdriveSunset Blog


Here it is: The first details on Sunset Overdrive’s co-op multiplayer: Chaos Squad! It’s an 8-player co-op mode that lets players craft their experience by voting on a variety of mission types to tackle in the open world.

And this all culminates in a massive Night Defense, which is harder or easier depending on which missions you’ve completed. If you win, you’ll earn yourself some awesome rewards like cash, special vanity items, and even weapons that you can lug back with you to the single-player game.

But, how’s she gonna work? Let’s go through an example:

Chaos LevelFirst, it’s important to understand that Chaos Squad revolves around your properly named Chaos Level. This level is what determines the difficulty of your team’s final Night Defense. The higher your chaos level – the tougher your Night Defense is going to be, but you’ll get more chances to receive cool rewards at the end. The amount of chaos you have will depend on which missions you voted for leading up to Night Defense. Take a mission with a lot of chaos to increase difficulty and potential rewards? Or take a mission with a team boost to make it more likely you win succeed?

Movin’ on!



Go straight from campaign to chaos-squad, in gameSo, you’re leaping around Sunset City in single-player and your friend/acquaintance invites you to join her Chaos Squad. You drop off a grind rail, strut up to the nearest future photo booth, and enter. You’ll go straight into MP with the same clothing, same amps, same everything as your character from the single-player.

Vote on missions in the open-world
At the start, you and your rag-tag band are going to get two mission options to vote on. You conquer it, two new ones crop up. And they’ll have different objectives and be in separate locations from the first round. So, the result is that each Chaos Squad experience feels unique as you’re going through the open-world.

After a few rounds of voting and slaying and Chaos or boost getting – it’s time for your team to face the main event: Night Defense!

Night Defense
This is where you will fend off enemies and protect your vats of Overcharge at one of many forts across the city by not only using your weapons, traversal, and amps – but by placing traps, as well. Before each wave – you’ll have a bit of time to place your traps, but if you made a horrible calculation, you can move and place them during the waves, as well.

And then – the enemies attack. And what comes next is an assault of 8 players simultaneously jumping, shooting, grinding, and exploding nearly every damn thing in sight. Each wave brings an increasingly difficult and new variety of enemies to your door. And, remember, the more Chaos you gathered in the open-world missions – the harder it’s going to be.

Rewards for your character you can take back to campaign!But! Your reward output is based on your Chaos Meter. So, if you manage to survive with an almost full Chaos meter – you’re going to get way more chances at better rewards than the wuss teams who took team boosts instead of Chaos.

After the dust settles and you hopefully bask in victory – you and your bounty can go back to the single-player game right where you left off or enter the Chaos again.





So, that’s Chaos Squad! Sunset Overdrive’s ultimate party, where your custom single-player character and seven friends can choose which unique missions to take-on in the open-world of Sunset City. It’s a brand-new experience every time and it all builds up to one massive Night Defense that’s customized based on your choices. Harder you make it – the more rewards you can take back to your single-player game.

I'm really looking forward to this game.
