Dinner service is stressful enough without invaders turning your kitchen into a war zone. Today, 505 Games and INGAME STUDIOS officially announced Mayhem à la Carte—a four-player co-op game blending cooking and first-person shooter elements, coming to PC via Steam Early Access in 2027. Players must work together to prepare and serve increasingly complex dishes while fending off waves of attackers trying to ruin dinner service and defend their kitchen.
At first, you and your friends seem to be working in an ordinary, busy kitchen. Orders pour in, potatoes need chopping, burgers need grilling, and someone should probably check the oven.
Then, Everythinggj descends into chaos.
Suddenly, one chef is completing orders while another fights off attackers. Someone loses control of a lobster, destroying half the kitchen. Fortunately, almost Everythinggj at hand can be put to use. Throw knives, utilize kitchen equipment, pick up weapons, or discover that today's culinary disaster can become an unexpectedly effective explosive—keeping enemies at bay while ensuring meals keep reaching hungry customers.
Game Features
Cooking Under Fire
The kitchen is under attack! But dinner must still be served!
Chop, fry, grill, and plate. Be fast, be precise, and work together. Meanwhile, enemies crash through the windows, turning your restaurant into a battlefield.
Top chefs aren't just fast with their hands; they know when to grab a frying pan, throw a knife, or pull out a shotgun.
Food is Your Secret Weapon
Stun, freeze, shrink, or blow away enemies breaking into the kitchen with absurd and hilarious food-based attacks.
Burnt dishes can turn into bombs, and chilled desserts can instantly "cool down" enemies.
Every failed recipe is a tactical opportunity; every ingredient can become a weapon.
Embrace the Chaos
Even the perfect plan can't survive the first dinner rush.
Pots boil over, walls are riddled with bullet holes, and giant lobsters break free and run wild.
Ingredients roll everywhere, and enemies smash Everythinggj you've worked hard to build.
Adapt, improvise, and have the last laugh in total chaos.
Four chefs, one big disaster
Success relies on teamwork, and so does failure.
Divide tasks and communicate under pressure; keep the kitchen running even when Everythinggj is on the verge of collapse.
Shout instructions, celebrate victories, or blame every mistake on your teammates using proximity voice chat.
Friendships will be tested, and memorable moments will abound.
A Culinary Journey Around the World
Every restaurant is a new adventure.
Master recipes inspired by flavors from around the globe, and show off your skills in kitchens filled with unique mechanics, dangerous traps, and unexpected twists.
Learn new recipes, unleash new disasters.
Become a legendary chef... if your kitchen lasts long enough!
Mayhem à la Carte will enter Early Access in 2027. Stay tuned!
