Put on your apron, sharpen your knives, fire up the pans, and gather your must-have ingredients - it’s time to dive into a culinary adventure where creativity meets chaos! Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together is the highly anticipated sequel to the global hit that redefined what a cooking game can be. With its brand-new co-op mode, the fun reaches an entirely new level - and this is only the beginning of what Big Cheese Studio has in store.
Pre-Release Event Kicks Off This December
Cooking Simulator won over players’ hearts with its unique blend of realism and comedy. The sequel expands on this experience, introducing co-op gameplay, refined physics, and even greater freedom of play. The choice is yours - will you rise to the rank of master chef, or embrace the role of culinary chaos-maker? Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together serves up an even deeper, richer, and more creative cooking experience than ever before.
Running a restaurant has never been such a challenge – and never this entertaining. You’ll have nearly 200 authentic ingredients at your disposal, more than 80 recipes inspired by world cuisines, and the powerful Blueprint system that lets you craft your own dishes from scratch. Manage and grow your restaurant across three unique kitchens, keep track of supplies, and serve 11 different groups of customers - each with their own tastes, emotions, and personalities.
With the enhanced flavor system - ranging from sweet to umami - you’ll be able to compose dishes that feel truly realistic. Fine dining, new slicing and mixing mechanics, and a fully customizable character editor let you immerse yourself even deeper in the culinary experience. The co-op mode introduces a whole new dimension of fun, living up to the game’s subtitle: Better Together! With improved physics and all the unpredictable energy that fans loved in the original, Cooking Simulator 2 is a recipe for creativity, humor, and pure joy of play.
This December, Cooking Simulator 2 will host a pre-release event, showcasing the game’s new features and its new co-op mode - the very foundation of the sequel. During the tournament, players will get their first taste of the challenges that await them - not only in one-on-one play, but also as part of a team. The official launch is set on January 20, marking a powerful start to 2026 for Big Cheese Studio.
Cooking Simulator on the Silk Road
With more than one million copies sold and a loyal fan base worldwide, Cooking Simulator is a proven success. This year, the iconic game celebrated its sixth anniversary – yet it remains as popular as ever and continues to grow. October brings a brand-new VR edition along with the BBQ DLC, perfect for aspiring grill masters. And now it’s only a matter of weeks before the pre-release of Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together - but that’s not all.
Players across Europe, the US, and Asia fell in love with the first Cooking Simulator, but China remains a unique challenge for Big Cheese Studio. That’s why, in partnership with Silk Road Games, a new version of the cult title has been developed exclusively for Chinese players. Cooking Simulator China is now complete and awaiting approval in the Chinese market, where it will debut on new platforms.
The Chinese edition of Cooking Simulator mirrors the global release, offering the full set of features and content fans know and love - while adding exciting new elements like the Modern Kitchen, special events, and a cooking school. The extensive list of updates further includes an upgraded engine, new assets and decorations, and enhanced physics – bringing even more realism and a dash of (un)controlled chaos.
