The cozy medieval life sim Mirthwood is set to level up with the arrival of its highly anticipated co-op update on July 10, 2025. Announced during ClemmyGames’ Best Indie Games Summer Showcase, this major content drop from Bad Ridge Games and V Publishing adds local co-op play and Steam Remote Play support, allowing players to explore, farm, fight, and fall in love—together.

In this new update, players can team up in drop-in/drop-out local multiplayer with a dynamic shared camera that adapts as both adventurers roam the expansive world of Mirthwood. Player 2 has full access to farming, crafting, combat, and skill-building—just like Player 1. Each player keeps their own gear, progress, and abilities, with a smooth transition between single-player and multiplayer modes.
What makes this update stand out is the ability to marry your co-op partner and even raise a child together. These children grow over time, inherit traits from both parents, and eventually become fully developed NPCs with their own lives in the world.
The update also brings meaningful improvements to combat, such as directional attack indicators, an enemy lock-on system, and several performance tweaks to ensure a smoother, more polished gameplay experience. Players can also expect new items, farming structures, and optimizations that make exploring Mirthwood more rewarding than ever.
