505 Games announced Mayhem à la Carte overnight. It's Overcooked with guns: four players, one kitchen, orders to fill, and a steady stream of attackers you fight off with the food. Steam Early Access in 2027.
The loop, as 505 describes it, is two jobs at once. Someone has to cook and serve so the orders keep moving and the money comes in. Someone has to deal with whatever is coming through the door, and the weapons are the ingredients: things that stun, freeze, shrink or blow up, depending on what you've grabbed off the bench. Proximity voice chat means you only hear teammates who are close by, so the person out the back on the grill can't hear the person out the front getting swarmed. That's either the best or worst design decision in the game and I can't wait to find out which.
The restaurants are themed around different world cuisines, and it's online co-op for up to four. It's from INGAME STUDIOS, the Czech team that made Crime Boss: Rockay City, with 505 Games publishing. The Steam page is live with a reveal trailer, and 505 has it down for Steam Early Access in 2027. PC only for now, no price, and nothing said about consoles.
