Pocketwatch Games and Humble Games have just announced that co-op sequel Monaco 2 is currently in active development.
The game is the follow-up to 2013 XBLA and PC indie game Monaco: Whats Yours is Mine. That first entry saw up to four players assemble a crack team of thieves and criminals to pull off ever-more difficult heists across a series of maps. The sequel will broadly follow a similar concept, but moves the action from top-down to 3D.
As the description puts it: “The vision to pull off this job is simple. Bring in a new rogues’ gallery of skilled thieves and infiltration experts to play. Let them loose in an intriguing new setting. Test their skills in brain-bending 3D environments, procedurally generated by an AI mastermind designed to concoct high-stakes challenges and infinite sneaky, stealy fun.”
It’s currently early days just yet, though the game’s lead designer Andy Schatz has offered an early look at the game in its first dev vlog. Composer Austin Wintory, who worked on the previous game’s score and has worked on games like Journey, is back to do the score once more. We get to listen to some of his work so far, as well as some concept art for the game in the video.
There’s not too much more to go on at this early stage, we don’t even have platforms or a release date yet. However, for now you can check out a teaser trailer, plus the first Monaco 2 dev vlog, for yourself down below.
