About a dozen years after the first game, and three years after it was announced, Monaco 2 has finally arrived.

The new co-op heist game from developer Pocketwatch Games and publisher Humble Bundle launched on Thursday, April 10 on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles for $24.99. Set in a colorful, isometric world with a cartoony art style, Monaco 2 follows in the silent footsteps of its predecessor with a unique heist-based mission design that can be enjoyed solo, in split-screen, or online co-op with friends.

There are several playable characters, each with their own abilities and roles. And as is often the case with heists, things will certainly go wrong. Players have to adapt to survive and escape with a big haul. The original Monaco was very well received when it launched in 2013, and early reviews of Monaco 2 on Metacritic indicate a similar reception for the sequel.

Up next from Humble is Lost Skies, courtesy of Bossa Games. Lost Skies is a third-person survival adventure game with solo and co-op play set in a very pretty-looking world full of floating islands and airships. If you like chopping down trees and swinging around on grappling hooks, Lost Skies looks to have a lot of that going for it. It launches on Steam in Early Access on April 18.
