How co-op works
Up to eight journalists enter one city expedition with individual cameras, photographing creatures, destruction, and endangered teammates before escaping. Returned photos determine earnings and the per-run objective; the squad spends that cash on modular cameras, medkits, and gear before choosing the next drop zone.
About this game
The Headliners throws teams of reckless journalists into a city overrun by deadly creatures, armed with cameras instead of weapons. Playing with up to eight people online, your squad races to capture the best footage while avoiding becoming the story yourselves. Every expedition is pure co-op survival horror, where staying alive matters just as much as getting the shot.

Success depends on constant communication and smart teamwork. Players must spot threats, call out danger, coordinate routes through hostile streets, and decide when to push deeper or pull back to safety. The tension comes from balancing risk and reward while creatures hunt your crew across the ruins.
Built for online co-op with support for solo runs, The Headliners scales from lone photojournalist ventures to full eight-player chaos. Larger squads amplify both the coordination challenge and the mayhem, creating intense sessions where one wrong call can turn a promising run into a headline-worthy disaster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play this solo or do I need a full team?
You can play solo or with anywhere from 1 to 8 players online. The game scales based on your squad size, so you can run lone photojournalist missions or coordinate with a full crew of eight.
Do you fight the creatures or just try to avoid them?
You're armed with cameras, not weapons, so the focus is on survival and evasion rather than combat. The challenge comes from capturing footage while staying alive and avoiding the deadly creatures hunting you.
How important is communication in this game?
Communication is essential. You need to constantly spot threats, call out dangers, coordinate routes through the monster-infested streets, and make group decisions about when to push forward or retreat to safety.
Is there local co-op or only online?
The Headliners supports online co-op only. There's no local split-screen or shared-screen option available.
