‘Project Treasure’ Brings Couch Co-Op Back To The Wii U

When not busy cosplaying his own characters, Katsuhiro Harada usually spends his time making some amazing games. Known as the man behind the long running Tekken series as well as having his hand in Soul Calibur, his reputation as a solid gaming mind has grown with each successful release. This is why gamers attention piqued when he mentioned his next project; a four player co-op title exclusively for Wii U, known only as Project Treasure. Details were scarce until now, but with the release of its first preview trailer, the game is looking like it could be one to watch.

Featuring four different characters, each of which wield different weapons as they raid temples for loot. Using twin katanas, a giant hammer, pistols and heavy artillery to tear through hordes of monsters, each character looks like they would fulfill a unique role on the team. As expected from the history of the development team, these features are further highlighted by some great looking character models and color coded attacks. The idea of pairing up with three other friends and raiding dungeons in this manner feels both nostalgic and fresh, which might just be what they’re going for!
