The publisher behind ThePlayway and Klaps-On announces Bodybuilder Simulator Co-Op
The studio behind ThePlayway and Klaps-On has unveiled Bodybuilder Simulator Co-Op, a cooperative game centered on gym life. True to the name, players step into a fitness center to train, craft balanced routines, and gear up for long, sunny summers. The premise is simple on the surface but invites players to think like real trainers: plan sessions, monitor progress, and adjust variables to hit personal goals. In North American markets, this kind of shared gym sim taps into a familiar thrill — teamwork, friendly rivalry, and social play all wrapped around the idea of getting in shape together.
Developers promise a deep training framework that goes beyond surface-level routines. Players can design balanced programs, study exercise techniques, and track progress across multiple metrics. The system supports progression, with safe progression mechanics and options to tailor workouts to strength, endurance, and mobility goals. An expansive character editor lets players recreate their avatar and fine-tune fat and muscle mass, ensuring the digital self reflects personal style as closely as possible while maintaining believable physiology. This emphasis on customization is paired with the possibility to experiment with conditioning plans that blend resistance work, cardio, and flexibility training, all in a cooperative setting that rewards teamwork and shared milestones.
In addition to core gym activities, the studio plans to introduce a selfie feature to capture character progress. Players can also enjoy a variety of side activities, including archery-like targets and billiards, designed to complement the main training loop with social, casual challenges that are easy to jump into with friends. These extras aim to diversify the gameplay and keep sessions light and enjoyable even when the main workout plan becomes demanding.
Bodybuilder Simulator Co-Op is slated to release on Steam soon, with players able to wishlist the title and follow progress as the release date approaches. The game is positioned to appeal to fans of simulation games who enjoy a social twist, offering cooperative challenges, shared goals, and a space to socialize while pursuing virtual fitness milestones.
A fan note playfully recalls a character who literally packed all Elden Ring bosses, highlighting the tongue-in-cheek humor and broader gamer culture surrounding the title.
