The Kitchen Co-Op Insanity Continues With Overcooked 2

We loved Overcooked when we reviewed it last year, so we were overjoyed to hear that the sequel is coming our way, and sooner rather than later. Sooner as in Aug 7th.

The Onion Kingdom is in peril again and this time it is the fault of the Onion King himself! Reading aloud from the fabled Necronomnomicon, he has cooked up a real problem in the form of a doughy but dangerous army of UNDEAD BREAD called...The Unbread! The Onion King needs you, so chop, fry and bake your way through an all new series of crazy kitchens to defeat them and save the kingdom.
 

Overcooked 2 is a chaotic co-op cooking game for up to four players, where you serve a variety of recipes for things like sushi, pasta, cakes, burgers and burritos to hungry customers in a series of unconventional kitchens. Much like the first game, your kitchens will bring you to strange locations like hot air balloons, a magical Wizard's school and even another planet. Work solo or with up to three friends to prep orders while overcoming obstacles like kitchen fires, collapsing floors, overbearing waiters and of course, the classic kitchen problem of floating work surfaces. 

Check out the features and trailer below:
