Bandai Namco showed off its co-op tomb raiding game for the first time during this morning's Japanese Nintendo Direct.
Details on the game are vague (including if it will be making its way to North America), but the title appears to allow four players of varying skills and weapons to explore tombs and dungeons fighting their way through monsters to find treasure.

Treasure Seekers is a tentative title for an upcoming free-to-play, multiplayer online game being tailored exclusively for Nintendo's Wii U console. The project is being developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, headed by Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada. The game will be exclusively distributed via Nintendo eShop, and will take advantage of Nintendo Network. This is the first free-to-play title Bandai Namco Games will release on the Wii U console, and their first free-to-play title not based on any established intellectual property.
Development
The game was announced on January 14, 2015 via that month's Nintendo Direct presentation in all major regions. Producer Katsuhiro Harada was featured in a segment opening up about a game they were working on exclusively for Wii U. The game is a free-to-play online, four-player co-operative action title which any Wii U owner with a Nintendo Network ID could download and join in, provided their console is always online. According to Harada, "four players could work together to complete varied stages" and "[the] basic aim is to clear traps, rout enemies, and seize treasure." Harada then concluded he was unable to disclose the game's official title or release date at that time, but he gave away the tentative title being "Project Treasure" and confirmed "[they are] working very hard on it." The segment closed hinting the game was coming soon.
