Co-op launch board
Prepare the party before the first mission
Online co-op is confirmed; host, reconnect, and checkpoint edge cases still deserve an early live test.
| Check | Current answer | Player action |
|---|---|---|
| Platform and account links | Crossplay is confirmed. | Sign in and create the mixed-platform party before launch night. |
| Player count | Up to four online players. | Decide who handles range, power weapons, vehicles, and route calls. |
| Progression | Shared progression is confirmed. | Choose the first host and verify save credit after the opening mission. |
| Campaign path | Rebuilt original campaign plus three Meteorite missions. | Agree which route the session will use before loading. |
| Difficulty | Final group tuning is a live-build decision. | Use a baseline difficulty before stacking new Skulls. |
| Checkpoints and reconnects | Exact edge cases need the release build. | Test one reconnect early rather than after a long mission. |
| Local split screen | Not confirmed by the online co-op announcement. | Do not buy for couch co-op until the final platform page confirms it. |
