We're hurtling towards the release of It Takes Two on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, which means it's time for some raw gameplay footage narrated by Josef Fares himself. The charismatic creator really talks up the variety on offer in his follow-up to A Way Out, detailing a couple of different co-op scenarios in the trailer above. To really cement all this, he says: "The amount of variation is insane. There are no similar scenarios, every scene is unique. Whatever happens in the story will be reflected in the gameplay". Fares talks a big game, but then It Takes Two is actually shaping up to be something pretty cool.
One scene sees you fighting an army of wasps as you attempt to take back the home of a legion of squirrels while another is all about manipulating magnets to solve puzzles and progress through the area. One more level grants the ability to control time and clone the female protagonist — this is all honestly looking like a bundle of fun. Fares notes that nearly every stage will introduce a new mechanic and that the two characters will play different roles in puzzle solving. "Instead of having collectibles and other shiny sh*t, we made the world interactive and fun." The words of Josef Fares, ladies and gentlemen.
It Takes Two is out soon, too — 26th March 2021 to be exact. Are you looking forward to playing? Find a partner in the comments below.

***** the variety!
OH MY GOD THIS GAME LOOKS FANTASTIC!
"Instead of having collectibles and other shiny sh*t, we made the world interactive and fun."
That right there is a HUGE selling point. Wish it had real graphics and not claymation.
@LordSteev graphics look so cool to me. I am so excited for this game
@Logonogo
Actually, I take that back. My first comment was based on the picture, and I just finished watching the trailer. The graphics DO look good, and the levels look interesting.
I wish someone would make an ADULT world without collectables and garbage quests, though. This looks great for something to play with your kids, but it's just not my favorite pizza toppings.
@LordSteev i hear ya, maybe the general idea of having a more interactive world will rub off on some of the more mature developers!
@Logonogo
One can hope.
@LordSteev meh, realistic games have been done to absolute death. Doing it in that style would ruin any charm this game has and severely limit its world and gameplay creativity. We need more games that aren't afraid to have cartoonier artstyles and more bizarre out there scenarios. Thankfully Nintendo gets this, and Sony is slowly catching on again.
@Sjmaster
To each their own. You like cartoon games, I don't. I see it a little different than you as a result. I think there are far too many cartoon and anime games, and not near enough 'true to life' ones.
Oh well, variety is the spice of life.
This does look good, think I will be picking it up and hopefully my bro will play with me, this might get him to play something other than super blood hockey with me lol.
This really looks great
@LordSteev That was the selling point for me too. So many collectibles shoved into releases to artificially extend life of the game. Now to find some friends....😅
Does this have couch co-op or only online co-op?
@Digit2021 both.
@Rob_230
Bots! Who needs friends?
Yeah this looks awesome
Gotta say this look fantastic.
Love Josef Fares. For all his outspoken marketing BS - there's plenty (e.g. "I can literally give 1,000 bucks to anyone who says, ‘Oh, I’m tired of this game now because it doesn’t surprise me' ") there are also plenty of gems of just saying it like it is ("Instead of having collectibles and other shiny sh*t, we made the world interactive and fun.")
Gaming needs more people like him imho, thinks differently, never a dull moment and not playing it safe for the PR handlers etc.
I'd pay ready money to see the world through his eyes for a day
@Rob_230 F.R.I.E.N.D.S.??? Nope, got nothing
