Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! News

I hope y'all like cool new expansions and free stuff because we got some of each over at the Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! booth in the Indie MEGABOOTH at PAX East this week! (booth 15080)

We're showcasing three of many new foods in the expansion, including Smoothies and Hot Lattes, and we'll be giving out free pin and card packs in limited quantities each day! Be sure to get there first and grab a bag!

I'm super excited that the CSD team will be there to showcase the update, including the two writers on the game, so you can assume that every answer they give to your questions is 100% canon so feel free to bombard them with super detailed questions about the lore as much as possible and oh man i hope they don't read any of this



For more info on the update, check out our previous announcement! For more info on the Indie MEGABOOTH check out their site! And I'll be sure to post more previews in the coming weeks. Enjoy PAX East!

I’m super excited to announce the first major expansion to Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! Dubbed “The Barista Update,” this big expansion will bring lots of new foods, restaurants and modes to the game, as well as raising the level cap and having lots of fun new features!

"The Barista Update" centers around coffee, frozen drinks, lattes and all kinds of cafe-inspired treats, as well as offering new foods that range from upscale dining to some twists on the old classics. New restaurants are also opening in the Teragon Supertower, and they’re looking for eager chefs to man their stations!

Did I also mention this huge expansion is 100% free?! It’s just my way of saying thank you to all the supporters and fans out there!

More details will be announced in the coming weeks, but I’m also excited to announce that you can play a small portion of this new expansion at the Indie MEGABOOTH at PAX East in April! We’re extremely thrilled to be a part of their massive indie showcase, and we’ll be giving out exclusive swag as well as a few other surprises, all to be announced very soon.



Come by the PAX MEGABOOTH and look for the roast beef sandwich sign, and keep an eye out on @chubigans for more info on our booth, this expansion, and everything else CSD 2 related! Thanks again y’all!

Hey everyone! Got another fresh update ready to go, aw yeah. Be sure to come back by this Friday for an exciting announcement, oh boy!

Hey everyone! Since launch there have been lots of new updates bringing new modes, requested features, improved quality of life features, and lots more. As we get into 2018 I wanted to share what my plans are for future updates for the game and what I have planned long term for Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!


v1.6 Update & Future Expansions

In a few weeks v1.6 will be released that will bring some bug fixes, additional features and improvements to some of the interface. A lot of the new features is backend support that you won't see right away, such as getting the game ready for multiple languages and some UI improvements. All of this is in part to help me with getting the game prepped for console exports, the first of which will be PS4. The nice thing about getting the game console ready is that y'all will be getting a lot of new and improved features as a benefit to getting the game on consoles, such as improved controller support, language packs, and more that I don't want to announce just yet.

What I will say is that I want to do a major expansion for Steam that will coincide with the console release....more foods, new restaurants, more more more! I'll have news on that in the coming months. Of course, I have a few surprises up my sleeve too...but you'll just have to wait and see. ːcsdsmileː


Coming Soon

An update after v1.6 will bring Steam Controller support, rebuilt to be better supported in-game than it was in CSD 1, as well as adding additional gamepads such as the Wii U Pro controller among others. I'm also looking into bringing Zen mode to all restaurants, not just CSD!

Another feature that's been requested is bringing new co-op modes to the game. The standard dual chef mode will always be in the game, but I know a few of y'all would like the original chef/expediter mode from CSD 1 to be in the game, and again I have some ideas that I want to experiment with and see if I can add them in a future update.

I'll be back soon with v1.6! I want to thank everyone again for all the nice Steam reviews and support, it's really meant so much to me! Thank you and keep cooking deliciously!
