Players can look forward to enhanced gameplay, including new weapons, year-round festivals, and more.
Marvelous Europe, in collaboration with XSEED Games and BattleBrew Productions, has announced that their roguelite-dungeon crawler, Cuisineer, will be launching on the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles on 28 January 2025.
The announcement was made during Tuesday’s Nintendo Indie World showcase (27 August), revealing that the game will come to consoles with several new features.
Cuisineer is developed by BattleBrew Productions, a Singapore-based studio known for its innovative and engaging titles and published by XSEED Games in North America and Marvelous Europe in Europe and Australia.
Cuisineer has already whetted the appetite of PC players since its release in November 2023, and its upcoming console debut promises to elevate the experience, offering a host of new content.
Players can look forward to enhanced gameplay, including new weapons, year-round festivals, and a wardrobe feature, along with other exciting additions that are set to spice up the already enticing gameplay.
These new features will also be available on the PC version of the game, ensuring that all players can enjoy the latest updates simultaneously.
What is Cuisineer about?
Cuisineer challenges players to earn their dinner in a unique way—by battling it in dungeons.
Set in the world of Paell, players will take on the role of Pom, wielding cooking utensils to fight against giant chickens, artillery shrimps, fire-breathing peppers, and other culinary-themed adversaries.
Along the way, Pom can enjoy sips of boba tea while customising her kitchen and dining hall to suit the tastes of her loyal patrons.
The game blends roguelite action, dungeon crawling and even restaurant management in a unique adventure that might make you feel hungry for more of the game…and for actual food.
Players will gather countless ingredients as they explore four biomes with vastly different aesthetics and items. Every hunger-inspiring adventure will be completely unique thanks to “procedural generation”, which changes the layouts, enemy camps, and ingredients available in each biome.
The game's combat system incorporates a variety of flavours and textures, including flame, poison, and chain lightning effects, and utensils for weapons such as a “Spatula", “Smackerel”, “Swordfish”, and "Tenderiser.”
Physical Day One edition available for pre-order
For those eager to dive into the culinary adventure, a physical Day One edition of Cuisineer will be available for pre-order at participating retailers and the Marvelous USA Store in North America.
This special edition, priced at an MSRP of $49.99, includes the game, a soundtrack featuring over 40 charming songs, a 160-page art book filled with mouth-watering illustrations, and a “face” towel with the slogan “boba saves lives.”
Details on digital editions will be announced in the coming months.
