Campaign for two
KING Art describes four campaigns "featuring branching choices and co-operative play". See Four Campaigns. How two players share one army, one Commander or one branching choice is not published.
Co-op campaigns have a series precedent: Dawn of War 2's whole campaign could be played in co-op.
Last Stand for three
Last Stand is built around the group: you and two allies against waves, each with one of five heroes and a Strikeforce of companions. KING Art's closer look is still to come.
Team Skirmish against AI
KING Art's Jan Theysen and Elliott Verbiest team up against Hard AI in a 2v2 Team Skirmish PvE video on Maelstrom. Skirmish allows up to five AI opponents. See Skirmish.
