- Players seeking accessible online co-op or multiplayer, since those modes are no longer available
Our take on Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
Players seeking co-op will hit a hard stop at the mode selection: online co-op is no longer accessible. Those expecting to switch between the brothers in multiplayer encounter the same limitation, despite their distinct combat styles.
