Hello chefs!

Have you ever wondered what Overcooked! 2 looked like before it was fully cooked and ready to serve?

Today, to celebrate both ‘Blocktober’ and ‘Inktober’, we’d like to share some in-development footage and concept art with you!

First up, it’s the iconic Overcooked! 2 food truck! It started with some blocks, then we added our artistic touch, and hey presto! One shiny yellow main menu food truck!



What about that colourful world map that you drive your food truck round? Here’s some concept art created before it went into the game!

Did you know that your truck changes to take on the different terrain around the map? What’s your favourite part of the world map?



An important part of the prep for Overcooked! 2 was the story. The Onion King’s poor decision to raise The Unbread had to be drawn up and planned out on a storyboard before it could go into the game.

Here’s a snippet from the storyboard for that spooky opening cutscene featuring The Unbread!





And their final in-game form….



Last but not least, here’s a look at the concept for that crazy balloon level, which is one of the brand new dynamic kitchens in Overcooked! 2 that change on the fly!



That’s all for now. Let us know if you’d like to see more of the concept and development phase of Overcooked! 2 (including the brand new Surf ‘n’ Turf DLC) in the future!

Hey everyone!

You might have seen last week’s little teaser wondering how a beach, a pineapple and a water pistol fit into Overcooked! 2. Well, wonder no more, as today we’re excited to announce the very first piece of DLC for Overcooked! 2; Surf ‘n’ Turf!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb0ZdmmBUqU
With 12 new campaign kitchens, three new chefs, two new Versus kitchens, a new hidden Kevin level, and new recipes for kebabs and smoothies, you’re pretty much guaranteed a great time at the beach! We’ve even added a water pistol that can be used not only to put out fires or push your fellow chefs around, but also to clean those dirty dishes!

Once you’ve played through and 3-starred all the kitchens, you’ll be able to jump into New Game+ and aim to 4-star Surf ‘n’ Turf as well, just like the main game. Oh, and we’ve also added brand new achievements for you to unlock.

Today at 4pm BST we will be livestreaming the brand new Surf 'n' Turf DLC across various channels, so if you'd like to check out some of the new content, be sure to tune in. As a bonus, we'll also be streaming The Escapists: Complete Edition immediately after, showcasing the recent launch on Nintendo Switch. We'll be answering all your questions about both games, so be sure to jump in chat!

We'll be live at 4pm BST at the following links:

We hope you’re all enjoying your time with Overcooked! 2 and want to thank you for your continued support as we keep improving the experience for beginner and veteran chefs alike. Rest assured that we’ve got a lot more coming to Overcooked! 2, and we can’t wait to share more news with you in the weeks and months to come.

See you on the beach!

Hey there chefs!

Kevin is looking for some food .... And by food we mean, feedback for Overcooked! 2.

We're continuously improving Overcooked! 2 and would appreciate your feedback in our player survey. This gives you the opportunity to have your say on the future of Overcooked!

As part of the survey process, we like to reward survey participants with Team17 loot. At the end of the survey, there will be an option for you to enter a prize draw where you can be in with a chance to win one of three Team17 merch items!

To take part in the survey, just click HERE!



The deadline to complete the survey is Tuesday, 2nd October at 17.00 BST.
What type of questions are asked?

• The main survey questions consist of 'Choose one option', or 'Tick all that apply' -type questions.
  
• Each of the above types has an accompanying optional comment box.

Optional comment boxes
Feel free to leave more feedback, or not. It's entirely up to you, but if there's something about the game you feel strongly about (positive or otherwise) you can use a comment box to tell us more. Otherwise, feel free to skip them.

We sure do! If you do decide to complete a comment box, be assured that we read every single comment. You have spent the time writing out your feedback, we will spend the time reading it, and taking notes.

All data is stored and analysed on the Team17 Usability PCs. Data analyses will be passed on to the development team, and potentially used for game play improvements/changes. All your data remains anonymous, so if you decide to leave your email address for the prize draw, then this personal data is not passed on with the analyses. You can read the Team17 Privacy Policy HERE.

There are 32 questions in total. Most of them require you to check a box or boxes, with the rest of them being optional comment boxes. We're trying to be thorough by asking so many questions, but we also appreciate we might be taking up your precious time. Any help at all is appreciated.

If you have any other questions or concerns about the survey, or the survey breaks/doesn't behave, please email and let us know - usability@team17.com

Thank you! We really appreciate you taking the time to complete our survey!

Best,
Team17
