Announcement of Overcooked 2 Launch

Overcooked 2 to launch on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch™ and PC in August

Team17, a global games label, creative partner and developer of independent ("indie"), premium video games, is pleased to announce that Overcooked 2, the sequel to the double BAFTA-winning cooking game in the chaotic co-op genre will launch on 7 August 2018 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch™ and PC.

The game has been co-developed in partnership with indie developer Ghost Town Games, and the announcement of its launch was made at E3, the leading industry conference currently being held in Los Angeles. The game is available immediately for pre-order.

Overcooked 2 is a chaotic co-op cooking game in which players serve a variety of recipes including sushi, pasta, cakes, burgers and burritos to customers in a series of unconventional kitchens (including a hot air balloon, a magical Wizard's school or even another planet).  Players work solo or with up to three friends to prep orders while overcoming obstacles such as fire, collapsing floors, overbearing waiters and of course, the classic kitchen problem of floating work surfaces. 

Debbie Bestwick MBE, Chief Executive Officer of Team17, commented:

"We are thrilled to be extending our relationship with Ghost Town Games with Overcooked 2, further building on the multi-award winning franchise.  Alongside our launch partners, we are delighted with the game and believe it represents a great example of our ability to collaborate with our partners, and generate exceptional gaming content, both for new games and sequels."
