Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes didn't have online co-op when it shipped but now it does. Krome Studios has released a free patch that adds the feature to the game.

Republic Heroes is an action-adventure game based on the animated show The Clone Wars. Players step into the role of a Jedi Knight or Clone Trooper to battle the likes of Count Dooku. Up until now, it only had local co-op.

The online co-op patch was revealed by LucasArts' Twitter. They note that the patch is only available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Republic Heroes. There's no mention of a similar update being released for other platforms even in the future.
