Sure, it’s great to square off and go head to head with a buddy to see who is the better general. But sometimes you don’t want to destroy your buddies when you game. It’s nice to get to team up and take on the enemy together. And that, my friends, is why we’re announcing the release of cooperative maps for Battalion Arena.

Starting today, we’re releasing 5 cooperative maps into the Open Beta for Arena on Kongregate. These maps will let you and one or two of your friends team up to take on the enemy AI. If you’re a Standard Battalion Arena player, we’ve got a single co-op map available for your gaming pleasure. For Premium and Elite members, however, you can play all five. There are the standard team maps, but we are also featuring a VIP Extraction map (get the key unit to safety!) and a survival map where you must last 30 rounds.

If Arena makes a splash and you love the co-op maps, we’ll feature more of them over time, so get in there and play and let us know what you think!
