I cannot believe that Overcooked has turned 10 years old! I remember first playing Overcooked at a friends’ house (god, I wonder what they are up to these days?) on their couch, shouting as they didn’t chop something fast enough. I remember playing the updated version at gaming events like the Summer Games Showcase, which was for press only and in the basement of a Game store. I remember going on stage and playing Overcooked against a team of others, for a big charity event, and winning. It’s been a game that has seen a lot of my playtime, alongside a bunch of others cooking. And, I am not the only one.
There has been 100 MILLION chefs who have played Overcooked across the many platforms the game has come out on. Overcooked! 2, a fantastic sequel, is also included in that number – with a whopping 200+ levels and over 80 chefs to select from. It’s a fantastic game.
Gemma Langford, Lead Writer and Studio manager, Ghost Town Games, said: “When Phil and Oli set to work on Overcooked! in our lounge all those years ago, we could never have imagined where we would be 10 years later. There are no words to express the gratitude we feel towards the incredible community that’s supported us. The stories, the videos, the relationships formed…it’s been truly joyous. Long may the chaos continue…”
Overcooked has inspired so many other couch co-op games and really brought more fun to everyone’s front rooms over the years. It’s been amazing to see their journey grow, more levels be added, and to see what else they’ve had in store for us.
If, for whatever reason, you haven’t tried out Overcooked or you want to add a DLC like Carnival of Chaos or Campfire Cookoff to your collection, the developers of Overcooked have put all of their games on sale, some for only a few quid, to celebrate their birthday.
