Overcooked 2 Now Available on All Consoles As Well As PC

Written by Brandon Hofer on August 08, 2018

News: The fun and frantic game where you need to run a kitchen is back with even crazier mechanics, dynamic levels and much more.

Overcooked 2 is now available from Ghost Town Games and Team17. You can work with up to three players in local and online multiplayer to serve dishes to an insatiable room of diners from a not so regulation kitchen.

The Onion King has risen the Unbread (much to the disappointment of his faithful companion, Kevin) and he has tasked you with defeating them. As the greatest chefs in the land (well, the chefs that happen to be free at the time) you must chop, boil and bake your way through a series of crazy kitchens. Whether you’re serving sushi, pancakes, burritos or burgers, you must do so quickly and all while avoiding obstacles such as fire, collapsing floors, floating work surfaces and cars.

"After the release of the first game we had thousands of messages from fans around the world hungry for more. We're extremely happy to work with Team17 to deliver another serving of Overcooked which builds on the first game in every direction" - Phil Duncan, Ghost Town Games.

So what is exactly is new in Overcooked 2?

Recipes - From spaghetti to sushi and pancakes to pizza, recipes both old and new will need to be cooked to perfection (or at least not burnt to a crisp!) New recipes mean new ingredients and new equipment so even the most well-seasoned Overcooked players will be challenged.
