Never stop cooking
Turn the burners on, asCook Serve Foreveris heating up for its Early Access launch. Developer and publisher Vertigo Gaming has announced thatCook Serve Foreverwill enter its Early Access phase on May 8 for PC.
This latest entry in theCook Serveseries, preceded by the likes ofCook, Serve, Delicious!, is apparently an all-new IP. It will focus on a new adventure and gameplay that focuses on the rhythm of cooking. Basically, you’re going to have a lot of orders coming in, and you’ll need to quickly read and execute the button prompts to get them out. you’re able to see a bit of the cooking chaos in anew trailer today:

Over on theSteam pageforCook Serve Forever, Vertigo dove into a bit about what the Early Access will look like. It will cost $29.99, though owners of previousCook, Serve, Delicious!games will get a discount.
The initial launch will include “roughly 25%” of the game, with plenty of recipes, over a dozen locations, full cutscenes for this slice of the story, and perks and difficulty options. Further updates, including a local co-op mode, will start rolling out in the summer.
Addressing whyCook Serve Foreveris going into Early Access first, the team says it had a great experience withCook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!‘s Early Access, and thought it was the “best way” to get the game in players’ hands while also garnering feedback for the 1.0.

That launch is still a ways off, as the roadmap from Vertigo looks to aim for an early 2024 launch for 1.0. That includes both PC, where the Early Access is being held, and consoles. The team isn’t confirming any console platforms for the 1.0 launch, as the approval process would need to take place, but it’s aiming to releaseCook Serve Foreveron all three major platforms alongside the 1.0 PC release, when that happens.
I played a bit ofCook Serve Foreverduringone of the Steam demo fests, and thought it was an interesting time. I always like a little bit of virtual cooking, and this was certainly a fast-paced, enter-the-zone way of approaching it. I’ll be curious to see what players make of both the release and eventual updates, asCook Serve Foreverhits Early Access on May 8.
