MOVING OUT
Multiplayer fun gets boxed up for Moving Out
Videogames are fun. Moving house is not fun. But what if moving out was a videogame? Rather than the result being decidedly neutral, it looks like gaming is, in fact, so overwhelmingly enjoyable that it’s going to make the task a blast when SMG Studios’ Moving Out releases in 2019.
Echoing the sort of zany physics-based fun that we so love about Overcooked and Catastronauts, you take on the role of a Furniture Arrangement Relocation Technician (yes – FART, we giggled) as you wibble-wobble furniture from one location to the other. And the furniture will get there, no matter what the cost, as you take on these training scenarios from the Smooth Move company.
Spanning over 50 levels you can play with a friend (it currently looks like the multiplayer will be twoplayer) you’ll be smashing through gardens, navigating across traffic, and even taking care of moving furniture out the way of a flood. Things get increasingly more desperate and fantastical as you and your friend do whatever it takes to get the job done, throwing things out of windows, or even relocating giraffes from a zoo in the dead of night.

With better online experiences this generation, it feels like multiplayer is in a good place, but we’ve only recently started getting stellar couch co-op games that champion the fun of playing with friends. It looks like Moving Out will continue that trend in 2019.
FURNITURE WILL GET THERE, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.
