Overcooked 2 Releases Chinese New Year Content for Free

Written by Brandon Hofer on January 23, 2020

News: If you are a fan of Overcooked 2 you now have new content to work through which includes new chefs and new levels.

A free new update is now available for Overcooked 2 from Team17 and Ghost Town Games. This new content is to help usher in the Chinese New Year and will feature two new playable characters and five new themed levels that will have you chopping, cooking and simmering your way to success. Dim sum, hot pot, and fruit platters will also be making their way back onto the menu.

Two of the key features that you will see in this new piece of downloadable content include the following:

New Chefs

Normally people don’t like to see rodents in their kitchen, however, this is the Year of the Rat and so an exception is being made in this case. Rat Chef is ready to cook some fresh festival food alongside Turtle Chef, who is definitely not a slow cooker.

New Levels

There may be a runaway dragon leaving havoc in its wake, but that doesn’t mean the cooking can stop. Players will work their way through five new levels all created around the Spring Festival theme.

As I mentioned up above, this is a free update that anyone who owns Overcooked 2 can enjoy. If you want even more content though, there is a season pass you can buy. This season pass includes ‘Carnival of Chaos,’ ‘Campfire Cookoff,’ and ‘Night of the Hangry Horde,’ each serving up more meals, mechanics, and mayhem. If you are interested the Overcooked 2 season pass is available for on all consoles priced at £14.99/€18.99/$18.99, and on PC in the Steam Lunar New Year sale for £11.24/€14.24/$14.24.
