Overcooked Announced
UK – May 25th, in the year of our Lord 2016 – Team17 has
today announced its partnership with Cambridge based independent
developer Ghost Town Games to publish the chaotic, couch co-op
cooking game, Overcooked, on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
The Onion Kingdom is in danger and only the finest cooking can
save it! In Overcooked players must journey through a variety of
cruel and unusual kitchens on their quest to become master chefs
capable of conquering an ancient edible evil which plagues the
land. Play solo or engage in classic, chaotic couch co-op for up
to four players in both co-operative and competitive challenge
modes. You’ll have to cook a range of different dishes and work
together in order to become the most effective and ultimate
team!
Overcooked is the wonderful creation of Ghost Town Games, a new
independent two person development team comprising of
ex-Frontier Developments staff, Phil Duncan and Oli De-Vine.
Debbie Bestwick, Team17’s CEO said, “We’re huge fans of couch
gaming, and have been specifically looking for a game in this
genre with mass market appeal. It was instantly clear just how
unique and hilarious the game is, play it - it’s incredible. We
are delighted to welcome Ghost Town Games to our label.”
"We’re really excited to be working with Team17 to help us
release Overcooked. We've been working on the game for over a
year now and it's just great to have the help and support of a
team with 25 years’ experience that has as much love for local
multiplayer gaming as we do!” added Phil Duncan, Designer and
Co-Founder at Ghost Town Games.
Overcooked will be heading to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC
later this year.
