Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, March 5, 2026 11:24 AM  The chillingly named 'Final Puzzle' in Resident Evil Requiem filled much of the action-horror game's launch week with cheevo-hunting intrigue. What began as a simple search, a box-checking exercise to complete the last of Requiem's optional challenges, has since shredded nerves (and driven at least two RPS guides writers into frazzled despair) as the puzzle revealed itself an almost sadistically opaque game of Simon Says, where Simon doesn't actually say anything. He wants you to do something with that severed arm, though. Earlier this week, however, the code was cracked, seemingly after a Pokemon card YouTuber stumbled into the solution by accident. Gengar Collects, whose videos typically involve showing off colourful paper rectangles rather than borrowing creepy dolls from flesh monsters, is now widely credited with 'discovering' the requisite steps through sheer luck, with the precise details confirmed hours later by dataminers. Here's Jeremy and Callum's Final Puzzle guide, if you want to see them for yourself. |

All of these are the sorts of questions folks have asked as they've grappled to understand exactly what Crimson is ahead of its release this month. According to developers Pearl Abyss' main marketing man, that's a consequence of the shonky enormity of exploding slippage being announced way too early. |

Qureate opened the English website for Bunny Garden 2, and it confirmed Erisa will be one of three new characters joining the cast. The other two are still unrevealed. That makes six characters, including returning heroines Kana, Miuka, and Rin when it arrives on the Switch and PC in Spring 2026. We don't know if a physical release is planned like the original game.
Like the original game, Bunny Garden 2 stars a recently unemployed man named Haito Kanda. When he's at his worst, he finds out about the Bunny Garden hostess club. Gameplay then involves spending whatever money you have on drinks and gifts for the women working there so you can spend time with them, perhaps forming relationships. However, as Haito is broke and the bar is only open on Saturday and Sundays, there are life sim elements as you try to make money any way possible so you can attend. While different types of jobs will appear, someone could also gamble or sell all of their belongings (emptying out their home in the process) just to get more money.
The official site also went over some of the gameplay mechanics that are new and returning in the Bunny Garden sequel. You can still buy drinks and food, like usual. Relationships are boosted via gifts and remembering what you talked about with the heroines. New elements include ASMR scenes, Twister, karaoke performances, and a few minigames. Qureate did note that the Switch version perspectives and camera angles will be slightly different than the PC one on Steam.
Bunny Garden 2 will come to the Switch and PC worldwide in Spring 2026, and it will be playable in English, Japanese, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese with Japanese voice acting.

Nintendo announced that there will occasionally be special Pokemon Pokopia events that grant access to additional Pokemon and items, and the first involves Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff. It will be called More Spores for Hoppip, and it lasts for two weeks. Everything starts on March 9, 2026, giving us the weekend to get established in the new game before trying to help these characters.
The way it sounds, it seems like we'll first need to make a habitat for Hoppip and befriend it before finding Skiploom and Jumpluff in Pokemon Pokopia. The announcement noted you'll need to have a Pokemon Center ready to take part, which means Withered Wasteland might be the best place to find and encounter Hoppip to get started. If you do spend time with it, you'll get cotton spore materials to trade for new furniture for additional habitats. You get two weeks to get all the exclusive items and characters before they're gone, and if you do they'll remain after the event ends.
This is one of two limited time events happening right at lunch. The other is an early purchase bonus that nets you a Ditto rug to use in-game. That's a "Get via Internet" Mystery Gift you can claim from a Pokemon Center PC. It's available until January 31, 2027.
Pokemon Pokopia is available for the Nintendo Switch, and the Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff event runs March 9-24, 2026.

Details on the upcoming release of the final Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga volume have appeared. The third volume, which is set for release in May 2026, will feature a conclusion to the spinoff story. [Thanks, Ryokutya!]
The closing pages of Weekly Shonen Jump's 15th issue of 2026, which will release on March 9, 2026, will particularly feature comments celebrating the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo from 11 artists.
Shueisha will also provide a couple of services to mark the conclusion of Modulo. It will deliver two kinds of acrylic objects themed after the second decisive battle of Shinjuku to everyone who has applied and paid 8,800 yen (~$56). It will also provide acrylic art based on the colored pages of Modulo's final chapter, styled after a photo frame, exclusively to active digital subscribers of Weekly Shonen Jump.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is a spinoff of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen, drawn by Yuji Iwasaki. It takes place in the year 2086 and stars the Okkotsu siblings, Tsurugi and Yuka. The manga launched in 2025's 41st issue of Weekly Shonen Jump on September 8, 2025. Shueisha had also since published two standalone volumes of the spinoff manga on January 5, 2026, and March 4, 2026, respectively.
The third and final manga volume of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo will be available on May 1, 2026.

While sugoroku JRPG games aren't exactly common, I'm delighted they're common enough for us to get multiple localizations of them. Idea Factory International brought Calamity Angels: Special Delivery westward. Unfortunately, the gameplay isn't fleshed out enough to make it feel as captivating as contemporaries like Dokapon. The idea is fun, but playing it can feel tedious.
In the fantasy realm of Orkotris, delivery folks belong to their own guild and deliver letters and packages around the country. The couriers' parties also consist of actual warriors who help get the job done. Players follow Yuri, a member who's bascially in charge of the Calamity Angels Ivris, Luminous, Numero, Selma, Somnia, and Suliya. As the first part of their name suggests, they're a mess. However, by taking on assignments and deliveries, defeating Omoikurai along the way, you'll hopefully show they still show potential and can do some good.
As a sugoroku with JRPG elements, Calamity Angels: Special Delivery largely involves moving around a board, spinning to determine how many spaces you move, to reach certain spaces to complete the deliveries the group undertook. Different spaces can trigger different events and altercations. If you end up in a fight, it's a turn-based situation with Yuri directing members in a simple fight in which they may or may not listen based on their mood. Each run starts with accepting an assignment. Then, you do some inventory management to ensure you can fit the package and any items the team will need for their fights. You then spin to move across the board to where you need to be to complete the assignment.
In concept, this seems like a novel approach to a turn-based JRPG, but Calamity Angels: Special Delivery falls short in a lot of ways. While the inventory management element when preparing for a quest seems novel, I never experienced any major issues when it came to ensuring room for my delivery and any items the crew might need. The only real management issue came up when I couldn't equip characters right when I bought items. (Which is odd, considering even older RPGs would offer the option to immediately equip after making a purchase from the shop menu.) But even that's not too troublesome, since it just means going through a few extra menus.
While sugoroku JRPGs can and do work, with Dokapon being one that developed a cult following, Calamity Angels: Special Delivery doesn't since I never felt a real incentive to not choose the quickest possible path. Could there be items? Would my team get stronger? Maybe, but the game is fairly easy and the enemy encounter rate is such that I didn't feel a need to deal with more. Especially since, while novel, the combat system can get a little tedious due to its simplicity and the rate at which members might ignore my requests. Tedious at best, I'd say, and frustrating at worst when allies won't listen when facing a boss.
Calamity Angels: Special Delivery isn't bad, but it can be a tedious game and the sugoroku don't enhance the JRPG. Instead, it can feel like it drags it out more in a way that doesn't add anything to the experience. It's not bad, but quickly falls into a somewhat boring and unexpectedly bland routine even with the board game and inventory management elements.
Calamity Angels: Special Delivery is available for the Switch, PS4, and PS5, and it will also appear on the PC.

Phasmophobia sees new updates on a fairly regular basis and oftentimes provides a roadmap outlining what players can expect to see arriving in the future. The 2026 roadmap has arrived, offering significant insight into all upcoming updates.
The 2026 roadmap debuted on Jan. 28, with lots of teasers and new details surrounding the fresh additions slated for this year. We also know quite a bit about some of these features from past announcements and blogs, so there's already quite a lot we know about. If you're eager to learn what comes next, here's the 2026 roadmap for Phasmophobia with a full breakdown of everything we know will be arriving this year.
Table of contents
Phasmophobia roadmap and all updates in 2026
There are quite a few big updates planned throughout 2026, though so far, none of them have an official name or release date. It's also a bit unclear whether some new features will launch alone or together.
Additional details about future updates will be revealed as they get closer to release, and as they are, we'll add them here, so you can check back here often to ensure you're up to date with the latest information. Here are all of the new updates and features included in the 2026 roadmap.
Player character overhaul update
The first major update of 2026, and the only one with a general launch time scheduled, is the player character overhaul update. This one will release sometime during the first quarter of 2026, so either in February or March.
This update will completely rework character models and also introduce the means to customize them with new cosmetics. Animations for the character model are also being fine-tuned in this update, as are animations for other interactions like dying, injecting Tier III Sanity Medication, reviving, and swapping between equipment.
1.0 release
Phasmophobia's biggest update of the year, and of all time, is the 1.0 release, which is confirmed for 2026. It was previously known as Horror 2.0, since this update aims to completely overhaul and rework everything in the game to up the scare factor. Features like ghost models, sounds, and interactions will be redone, and the ghost hunting game will be heavily polished as it officially leaves early access.
The 1.0 update will also refresh game lore. This may mean adding to what's already there as well as tweaking some parts of it. The lore that is added or refreshed may also tie in to the Phasmophobia movie that's in development.
Nintendo Switch 2 release and Unity upgrade
Phasmophobia is arriving on the Switch 2 this year, allowing even more players to dive into the ghost hunting fun. A Unity 6 and network upgrade will be released across all platforms, too, aiming to give all players a smoother and more polished experience.
New map
A new map is launching in 2026. Nothing has been revealed about it so far, and the only teaser we have is a small, grey, blurry picture on the official roadmap. It's tough to discern any indicators as to what it might be, but it looks like concept art to me, so it's likely very early on in development.
I'm hoping we get some teasers, perhaps on the upcoming map rework, for this fresh location, as the team loves to hide Easter eggs and hints for players to find. We'll also likely get some additional information in future dev blogs as the process moves along.
Map rework
13 Willow Street is the second location getting a map rework this year. So far, three of the beloved house maps have undergone a refresh, which are Grafton Farmhouse, Bleasdale Farmhouse, and 6 Tanglewood Drive. The changes to this home will look similar, with some small layout changes, a fresh coat of paint, and plenty of new furniture. All house maps will be reworked eventually, so after this, we can expect that 42 Edgefield Road and 10 Ridgeview Court are next up.
Rerun events
Phasmophobia has a few staple seasonal events, and all three are confirmed to be returning in 2026. This includes Cursed Hollow, Crimson Eye, and Winter's Jest. We can expect to see the core mechanics of each event stay the same, but there will also be some new prizes and potentially new features to go with them. The last iteration of Winter's Jest, for example, had the Naughty-or-Nice List as a fun and fresh new gameplay element to interact with.
New event
A fresh, one-time event will debut sometime in 2026. We don't know anything about this event yet, except that it won't be an annual occurrence like the three seasonal ones. I'm personally hoping it might implement some of the fun, unique mechanics featured in older iterations of the seasonal events, like the snowball gun scavenger hunt in the 2023 Holiday event or cauldron brewing in the 2023 Halloween event.
All released updates for Phasmophobia in 2026
As planned roadmap content is released, we'll move it here so you can keep track of what's already come out so far for the ghost hunting game. Here are all of the updates that have released in 2026 so far.
6 Tanglewood Drive map rework
On March 3, the 6 Tanglewood Drive map redesign was released. This rework was a lot less intense than the ones for both farmhouses, as it mostly just received new furniture and a few small layout tweaks. The biggest differences are the Cursed Possession locations, the closed-off kitchen area, the shiny new train set in the basement, and the new crafts and hobby room.

After an accidental early post on YouTube last week, Overwatch has now confirmed its newest collaboration coming soon is with NieR: Automata, and fans are in a frenzy for a few reasons.
NieR: Automata is a beloved game by all accounts (one of my sins is that I haven't played it yet myself), sporting an 88 overall score on Metacritic, and the love for its characters specifically is paramount among the fandom. None are more iconic than 2B, the main character, and so she of course is represented in this collab.
Overwatch fans likely already know where I'm going next with this, but pretend to be shocked: 2B is coming to Overwatch as a skin for none other than... Kiriko. Yep, Blizzard's Japanese darling is getting yet another awesome costume, to no one's surprise, but to many's chagrin.
The reaction to last night's confirmation that Kiriko is 2B is standard fare for any time she gets another new skin these days. And I can see where players are coming from in their annoyance. Kiriko has a stunning amount of Legendary skins, and is frequently included in collaborations.
Kiriko has already gotten Legendary collab skins in the past with Terrible Tornado from One Punch Man, Himiko Toga from My Hero Academia, Blue Flame and Antifragile Kira-Kira from LE SSERAFIM, and most recently, Cinnamoroll from Hello Kitty & Friends. And that doesn't even include a few dozen other original design Legendaries.
And you know what? It makes total sense. Kiriko is a popular hero to play, and games like Overwatch are going to give the best skins to the most popular characters, especially when they are attractive female heroes. Marvel Rivals does the same thing with Luna Snow and Psylocke. It just makes sense from a business standpoint, even if people are getting tired of her always getting cool outfits in lieu of many other heroes.
In addition to 2B Kiriko, by inspecting the concept art image, we can see that the full collab is (from left to right):
I will say, though, it's a bit odd that a game about sexy androids does not have any collaborative skins with Overwatch's characters that are also actual androids. But, I digress, because these skins will likely sell a ton regardless.
The Overwatch x Project YoRHa collab will come to the game next week. Will you be picking any up?

Hope's got quite a few missions for you to get done in her weekly quest series in Fortnite. One of the tougher ones she throws at you early on is to scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse.
Since she doesn't tell you where to look, figuring out the right spot to search for this quest is a tough task to work through on your own. Luckily, it's pretty easy to check off once you know where to go, so here's how to scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse in Fortnite.
Table of contents
Potential location for an Elites safehouse in Fortnite
The potential location for an Elites safehouse is a small Landmark spot called The Basement, which can be found directly south of Clawsy Lodge, west of Painted Palms, east of Wonkeeland, and north of Lethal Labs. It's not marked by name on the map since it's a Landmark rather than a main POI, so finding and traveling to this specific spot is a rather difficult task.
To find this location, load into a round, open your map, and zoom in on the forest area right beneath Clawsy Lodge. Look for the small grey and white building in this area, then drop a marker there so you can head right to it. You'll know you found the right location if you spot a building with a blue and orange workshop sign. When you enter this area, you'll also see the name of the Landmark displayed in the upper right corner next to your mini map.
Scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse in Fortnite
To complete the scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse quest in Hope's mission series, you simply need to visit The Basement Landmark location once. As soon as you enter the boundaries of this building, the quest will be marked as complete, earning you a whopping 12,000 XP.
Most missions require you to complete a few specific tasks at a designated spot to get them done, but that's not the case here. Instead, all you need to do is land at or make your way to The Basement and get close enough for the game to register that you've visited it to move on. This is a very doable quest to get done once you know where to go, so it's certainly one worth tackling for some easy XP.
For me, this mission was marked as complete as soon as I landed in the parking lot outside. These types of quests can sometimes be a bit finnicky though, so if you're having trouble getting it to work, try venturing fully inside the building to see if that helps. If that still doesn't count, exit the Landmark and reenter it to get it to trigger. And if all else fails, try again in a new round.
There are plenty of other tricky missions you need to work through around the island before this season ends. If you're looking for more to tackle, some good ones to complete next are using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base, completing Job Boards, making contact with Dark Voyager's ship while airborne, and entering Dumpsters or Flushers in different matches.

There are some very important members of The Seven hanging around the Fortnite island. The main storyline asks you to tackle tasks for them frequently, with one of the trickier quests requiring you to check in with The Order or The Visitor about the base.
This is a fairly tricky mission to get done since the many NPCs you can find around the island have moved around quite a bit throughout the season. Chatting with one of these characters is easy enough, but tracking them down can be rather difficult, so here's how to check in with The Order or The Visitor about the base in Fortnite.
Table of contents
The Order location in Fortnite
The Order can be found close to the Classified Canyon POI. She's hanging out a bit west of the main triangle building at the center of the area by a small building close to a chainlink fence. It's a bit of a hidden corner area, so it may take you a bit to pinpoint her exact location.
Once you're at Classified Canyon, look for the chat bubble icon on your mini map in the upper right corner. You can use these to track down NPCs, as all nearby ones are marked with it. While at this specific POI, there are four characters nearby, so make sure you head west of the triangle building if you want to find The Order.
The Visitor location in Fortnite
The Visitor can be found hanging around a balcony area slightly south of the main Classified Canyon building. The primary part of this POI is a large, triangular building in the center, but The Order wanders around a building nearby instead of the main one. He's not too far away from The Order, so you can easily find and interact with either character when you venture to Classified Canyon.
To find him, head directly south from the center of the POI. Look for the parked rocketship, as The Visitor can be found on the balcony right over it. If you've previously tackled the listen to The Visitor's ship log and hear his reunion with The Order quest, you should have a good idea where to look, as this item is just a few feet away from him.

To complete the check in with The Order or The Visitor about the base quest, you need to chat with either The Order or The Visitor one time. You don't need to talk to both of them for this mission, so simply pick whichever one of the two works better for you.
It generally seems like The Order is the safer option of the two, as the area she's in is a bit more covered and concealed. The Visitor is standing on a wide open balcony area up high, making you an easy target to spot while working on this quest.
With this quest now complete, you can move on to other key missions around the island. Next, you might work on using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base, finding Human Bill, making contact with Dark Voyager's ship while airborne, and entering Dumpsters or Flushers in different matches.

There's quite a lot of drama unfolding around The Seven this season in Fortnite. To keep up with what's going on and progress the main storyline, you need to stay on top of key quests like listening to The Visitor's ship log to hear his reunion with The Order.
Listening to the log is easy enough, but figuring out where to find it is quite a tricky task, especially since the log is extremely small. You don't want to miss out on finishing this mission, though, as it provides some key story context, so here's how to listen to The Visitor's ship log and hear his reunion with The Order in Fortnite.

The Visitor's ship log location in Fortnite
You can find The Visitor's ship log at Classified Canyon in Fortnite. This is a main POI situated near the southeast corner of the island. At this spot, you're looking for a building near a cliff and close to a rocket, not the giant triangular building in the middle of the location.
Head inside the first floor of the building to find the ship log on the ground in a corner nearby. Once you're in the right area, you'll see a small diamond exclamation point icon to lead you to the precise spot where it's waiting. The ship log also sparkles, making it easy to distinguish from other items.
This building is also very close to where the Vengeance Jones and The Visitor NPCs hang out, so if you're familiar with their spawn locations, you should have a solid idea of where to go. If you're struggling to find the right building, climb up on the giant triangular one in the middle of the area, then head directly south to find it. You can also spin around until you spot the rocket ship, which is right beneath the building that has the ship log.
Listen to The Visitor's ship log and hear his reunion with The Order in Fortnite
To complete the listen to The Visitor's ship log and hear his reunion with The Order quest, approach the ship log on the ground, then press the button that pops up next to the word "Interact" to hear the dialogue. This button varies by platform, but is always displayed next to this text once you're close to the log.
After you activate the ship log, you'll hear a series of dialogue lines between The Visitor and The Order over the next minute or so. The quest checks off right away as soon as you interact with the log, though, so you're officially done with this mission.
If you're eager to tackle more tasks around the island, either for some sweet XP or to learn more about what's going on in the storyline, there are many tasks to choose from. Next, you might try touching a Zero Point Shard to investigate its mysterious effects, finding Human Bill, making contact with Dark Voyager's ship while airborne, and using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base.

Pokémon Pokopia is now out worldwide for the Nintendo Switch 2 console, and you can use the GameShare feature to play with someone who owns the Switch 1 console.
Pokémon Pokopia is exclusive to the Switch 2, so there's no native way to run it on the first-gen Switch. However, having the GameShare feature will allow you to bypass that limitation. While the feature is immensely beneficial, it's pretty glitchy and limited as of writing on launch day.

How to use GameShare in Pokémon Pokopia
To use GameShare, you'll need to own Pokémon Pokopia on the Nintendo Switch 2. While GameShare allows you to play the game on Nintendo Switch 1, you need a Switch 2 console to set it up.
How does GameShare work in Pokémon Pokopia
While the GameShare feature works fundamentally in the same fashion as the native multiplayer, it has limitations. For starters, the GameShare multiplayer lobbies can only support two players (unlike up to four on the native).
The feature also works as long as you and the host are in Palette Town. You can interact with the environment around you. You can cut trees, find items, water plants, and more. However, the guest can't craft any new item.
Additionally, the guest can't carry any items back with them. If they find something, it will be left in the Lost and Found box by the Pokémon Center.

Making your way up the ranks in The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy expansion pack is a tough task. Luckily, there are a couple of special items you can find and use to change your fate, which are called Power Shifts.
These are some of the most powerful and influential assets you can get your hands on, so they're also rather difficult to find and use. If you're looking for a way to secure your Sim a magnificent future, here are all Power Shifts in The Sims 4.

What are Power Shifts in The Sims 4?
Power Shifts are interactive items that can be used to help your Sim rise or fall in power. Luck plays a huge role in how useful they are, as all Power Shifts have the potential to go wrong, which means you may gain exactly what you need to rise through the ranks, or you might lose all your progress and end up at the bottom.
All Power Shifts in The Sims 4
There are five Power Shifts you can find and interact with, all of which are exclusive to the Royalty & Legacy expansion pack. They can only be found in Ondarion, as this is where their effects unfold.
Where to find all Power Shifts in The Sims 4
Some Power Shifts have fixed spawn locations, while others can be found at various spots around Ondarion. Here's where to go to get your hands on all Power Shifts in Royalty & Legacy.
How to use all Power Shifts in The Sims 4
The potential benefits or drawbacks of each Power Shift are unique, so once you get your hands on one, you'll need to know how to use it and what outcomes you may encounter. Here's what every Power Shift can cause to unfold.
With all Power Shifts, there's a chance of failure, which results in different random outcomes. Your Sim may potentially lose status, create a Scandal, feel Embarrassed for a while, or otherwise suffer, so be careful with these abilities and try to heed all warnings they mention.

Anime Ascendants is on the simpler side of Roblox Tower Defense games but there are still specific units that you need to get to be able to effectively clear the end-game. I'll show you the best units for both the mid and late-game. Here's my Anime Ascendants unit tier list.
Table of contents
Late-game Anime Ascendants Unit Tier List
These are the best end-game units in Anime Ascendants for when you can farm the most optimal unit for each category. Supports and Shield Breakers start mattering a lot more than in the early to mid-game. I recommend going for Assassin ASAP since he's such a useful unit for a bunch of reasons from DPS to starter and support potential. That said go for the Meta tier and if you cannot grind those units yet the sub-Meta tier is there.
Mid-game Anime Ascendants Unit Tier List
The best mid-game units in Anime Ascendants are based more on accessibility rather than optimal DPS. That's why I included easy-to-get units and Legendaries as well. Farm units still hold great value
Best Anime Ascendants Traits
The best traits in Anime Ascendants depend on the unit you want to place them on. The three main categories are your META DPS units, farm units and regular DPS units. Here are the best traits for every unit category:
That's it for now on this Anime Ascendants unit tier list. Check out our Anime Ascendants codes for a massive head start on the summons.

Pokémon Pokopia is now out on the Nintendo Switch 2 consoles all around the globe, and you can join the party with your buddies from the comforts of your home.
While Pokémon Pokopia can be completely enjoyed on your own, joining your friends provides a different kind of fun experience. Let's look at how the multiplayer system works and how you can invite your buddies.

How to play online in Pokémon Pokopia
There are different types of multiplayer modes available in Pokémon Pokopia. To access them, you'll need to head to the Pokémon Center and open a PC. Select Link Play from the menu. This will open and show all the available multiplayer modes.
How to invite your friends to Pokémon Pokopia
Once you can access the multiplayer modes, you can invite your buddies. You can invite up to three of them to play together. Together, you can create your own Palette Town, with all of you doing your individual tasks. While you can visit other places together, you can't construct anything outside Palette Town.
You can do the same by visiting a friend's island. The same rules as mentioned above apply. If you or a friend finds a Pokémon, you can give it a Star Piece. It will then appear back in your version of the world (or in your friend's if they do the same).
Finally, there's the Cloud Island option as well. In simple words, this is a shared world that you and your friends own. The Cloud Island doesn't require a host to be active for you to play on it. Naturally, you can't bring items found on a Cloud Island to your main save. However, certain in-game progression like recipes, will carry over to your own game.
While the multiplayer system is pretty comprehensive, you have to complete the story all on your own. There's no co-op feature enabled for the main campaign.
