The Daemon x Machina Titanic Scion demo, on the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Windows, is out and multiplayer fans have a lot to celebrate. Developers Marvelous upcoming action game features one of the smoothest co-op systems we’ve seen in years. Unlike games like Zenless Zone Zero where multiplayer feels like an afterthought, this one allows you to play the entire story with friends, explore freely, and fully customize your characters without interruptions.
It’s a co-op dream come true, and while the game doesn’t explain all the details clearly, we’ve broken down everything down for you. If you’re checking out the Daemon x Machina Titanic Scion demo or jumping straight into the full game, here’s what you need to know.
How to Unlock Co-Op in Daemon x Machina Titanic Scion Demo
Unlocking multiplayer in Daemon x Machina Titanic Scion demo doesn’t take long. You simply need to finish the tutorial up to the fight with Ash. Once that battle is complete, you’ll meet Forge, and co-op will officially unlock. What’s great is that this happens right before the first main story mission, which means you can play the whole game with your party from beginning to end.
There are just a few rules to keep in mind:
- You can only join players who are at the same story progress as you.
- Players can drop in or out of co-op sessions without disrupting the game.
- Story progress carries over for everyone involved, both in your world and theirs.
The only restriction is the progress requirement, which makes sense. It’s a huge step up compared to other games where only the host gets credit for finishing a mission.
Story and Mission Progress
One of the best things about co-op here is that story progress is shared. For example, if you and your friends complete a main quest together, all of you will have that mission marked as finished when you return to your own world.
The only difference is that dialogue choices are limited to the host. Still, every player sees their own character during cutscenes, not just the host’s. This means everyone gets their moment in the story instead of just tagging along in someone else’s adventure.
Combat and Exploration
Combat feels just as polished in co-op as it does in solo play. Everyone in the party can use their own weapons, skills, and Fusion abilities. Players can even stun and throw enemies during fights, and bosses share their aggression across the whole group instead of focusing only on the host. Thankfully, there are no major lag or sync issues either, which makes battles feel fair and exciting.
Exploration also works beautifully. Every resource node, chest, and loot drop is instanced for each player. If someone mines ore, everyone else can also mine it and get their own rewards. Defeating enemies works the same way—each player gets their own loot, and the drops are randomized individually. This makes exploration in the Daemon x Machina Titanic Scion demo feel rewarding and unique for everyone instead of forcing the group to fight over items.
And that’s all you need to know about the co-op mode in Daemon x Machina Titanic Scion demo. The game is set to drop on 5 September, 2025. For more updates on the game and Nintendo related news, stay tuned to RetroNoob.
