Overcooked 2 chefs it up with online co-op against the night of the living bread

In the 2016 party game Overcooked, the culinary world triumphed over the Giant Spaghetti Monster. But in Overcooked 2, a new ghoulish threat has appeared — the unbread, rising out of the ground and marching to destroy the Onion Kingdom. Indie developer Ghost Town Games has once again partnered with publisher Team17 to dish up tongue-in-cheek co-op fun — this time with online multiplayer. Overcooked 2 will be out on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on August 7.

Up to four players can join in on Overcooked 2’s frenetic fricassee, chopping, steaming, and bussing to try to survive the increasing chaos of each level. Much of the gameplay is similar to the original. Players are trying to complete recipes and serve them up. Temperatures and tempers rise in the kitchen while chefs have to deal with familiar challenges, like terrain that slips and slides around.
