Super Evil Megacorp has been steadily pumping out new content for its TMNT Hades-like, Splintered Fate, ever since launch, and today, the team has added a bunch of new reasons to embark on your roguelike runs in co-op.

The new Shell Squad Co-Op Update goes live today, and as its name suggests, it's all about the multiplayer fun. This free patch adds 24 new co-op powers, eight new co-op tools and eight new co-op masteries, so you can bring the heat to Shredder and the Rat King with even more skills when playing with friends.

The update also includes improved flame visuals, options for character swapping when playing co-op online or locally, and improved Lucky Dice communication.

Here are a few examples of the new powers and tools added in the update:

24x new co-op powers (3 per power tree). Examples:
- Passing the Torch - The first player you touch while affected by Rapid Fire also gains its effects, for as long as you have Rapid Fire active.
- Shared Warmth - When a player consumes a Splinter's Revive, heal all players.
- Chain Reaction - Players' Specials have a chance to trigger a Chain Lightning, dealing Utrom damage per link.

8x new co-op tools (1 per power tree). Examples:
- Bubble Trouble - Spawn a bubble on you and the farthest player. The bubble deals Water damage and Freezes enemies, and grants bonus Water damage to players.
- Tether Beam - Tether to the closest player. Enemies caught in the beam will take Utrom damage every second.
- Shadow Pact - Grant yourself and the closest player a Dark Shell. Each enemy defeated extends it.

8x new co-op masteries (1 per character). Examples:
- Donatello - When using your Tool, the closest player becomes invulnerable.
- Raphael - When any player lands a critical hit, they have a chance to Multi-crit instead.
- Michelangelo - When using your Special, you and the closest player gain a Torrent Strike stack.
- Leonardo - When activating your Special, the closest player gains Light Shell.

That's not all the news on the Splintered Fate front, either. The dev also announced its next paid cosmetics DLC: the Trench Coat Pack. Once again, it's another pretty self-explanatory one here, with all the Turtles (and the additional DLC characters) donning the team's iconic trench coats. This one is also available today, so there's no waiting around here, either!

Would be interested in giving Splintered Fate a try also in co-op if my friends ever want to, but I'm definitely playing it solo at some point - anyway, glad this DLC is out now and looking forward to the Trench Coat Pack, too!

Loving all the support SEMC is giving this title and I hope it leads to a proper sequel.

Awesome to see this level of support. I’ve been delaying starting this one and it seems like I’ll get the better version of the game once I do.

I'm really pissed at this developer!

If I had waited to buy the game, it'd be cheaper than buying all the dlc "a-la-carte!"
