- A Little Luck for the Perfect Score - 7 February 2025
Hello Crew! Everyone knows we thieves can be a superstitious lot and our crew is no exception. Today, we’re diving into the Trinket system, a key feature that lets each thief carry unique charms to turn the tide of any heist. Trinkets During your time in Monaco, you and your crew will work to unlock four trinket abilities per character. Each trinket provides additional power and specialization, but as with all good things in life, power isn’t free. Equipping these trinkets costs a bit of your base health, so choosing wisely is key. Let’s take a closer look into the trinket abilities of Jobbie, our favorite little robot sidekick! Jobbie’s core ability is teleportation. He can zip through all visible areas including windows, over furniture, and even through prison cell doors to escape the job undetected. Additional trinket abilities for Jobbie include: The GPU Array: Granting x4 teleporti…
- The Never-Ending Thrill of the Heist - 24 January 2025
Hello Crew! As we work towards launch later this year, we wanted to take some time today to talk about the procedural generation within Monaco 2. No two heists will ever be the same as you and your crew work to take on new jobs and pull off the perfect heist! The same map as the first, but at a different seed The Main Campaign Monaco 1 was chock-full of environmental story-telling and easter eggs, often accessed with the Mole. And while the game was great for speed-running, it did have a mild form of procedural generation that kept you on your toes, asking players to improvise rather than memorize. We wanted to expand on this with Monaco 2, without losing what was so special about the level design of the first game. In Monaco 2, a procedural director stitches hand-authored rooms together using scripts created by our level designer. Then it finds locations for objectives and high-value t…
- Monaco 2: Development Update! - 25 November 2024
Greeting Thieves! It’s been a bit since you’ve heard from us (building a game is serious business), but we wanted to update you all on the development of Monaco 2. Rather than write a stuffy blog post, we thought we’d compile the biggest questions we’ve seen from the Monaco community and grill Pocketwatch Games CEO Andy Schatz for answers. When is Monaco 2 coming out? It’s coming out in 2025! (That’s all you’re gonna get outta me.) How many players can play Monaco 2? Up to 4 friends can play, either split screen or online. In online mode, you can also invite additional spectators. Spectators can even join mid-mission and then join in as thieves on your next heist. What if I want to play by myself? Can I do that? Of course! Let’s be clear, Monaco 1 was better known for its co-op than the single player. With Monaco 2, loads of care has been taken to make sure the single-player experience…

- My first look at Monaco 2 made me think that maybe crime could pay - 2 April 2024
ndy Schatz, the creator of Monaco, admits that Monaco 2 is “the ambitious version” of what the team tried to do with Monaco , the two games reading like the minimalist and maximalist version of the same design document. This heist-’em-up Monaco 2 might look shinier, but it’s channelling the exact same manic energy that made the original game so compelling... Read more.
- Indie heist sim Monaco is getting a 3D sequel - 18 March 2022
In our 2013 review of the original Monaco , we called the indie heist sim "one of the best co-op games of all time." Monaco had fantastic, open-ended levels that helped its improvisational stealth co-op gameplay really shine. Of course, I always used the Mole to smash walls in a straight line through those levels and troll my friends, but the rich improvisational gameplay was there... Read more.
- Cracking cooperative heist 'em up Monaco has a sequel coming - 17 March 2022
A sequel is coming for excellent cooperative heist game Monaco, publishers Humble Games announced today. Jim Rossignol's Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine review in 2013 was pretty straightforward: "This is one of the most important independent games this year, and might well end up being one of the best-loved games of the decade." I don't think it panned out quite that way, partially because indie games grew so larger and more mainstream than expected across the decade, but the IGF Grand Prize winner is still a cracking game. And Monaco 2 looks pretty. Read more
