I don’t know how Vertigo Gaming Inc. keeps coming up with great ideas, but this time around they’ve surely topped themselves. Today, the enterprising indie developer revealed that Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! is in the works, and it will let players prepare and sell different edibles from the back of a food truck in the post-apocalyptic United States of 2042. Yeah, things have escalated quickly since 2017’s Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! (which, incidentally, is on sale for 75% off or US$3.25 and it’s totally worth full price). If you are as eager to play this gem as I am, you might be happy to learn that the developers have scheduled a January 2020 Early Access release on Steam, with a full launch coming in late 2020 for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

Hit the road in this massive sequel to the million-selling Cook, Serve, Delicious! series as you travel across the United States to participate in the Iron Cook National Foodtruck Championships with your trusty robot crew Whisk (voiced by @negaoryx) and Cleaver (voiced by @havanarama). 

Set in the radically-changed war-torn America of 2042, play through an all new story-driven campaign where you cook hundreds of foods—including many brand new to the series—across hundreds of levels in a new gameplay structure that has been completely redesigned to deliver fast-paced action, or take it easy with the all new Zen Campaign that can be toggled on or off at any time!

Play through the campaign via single player or with a friend in local co-op (with the ability to change on the fly), upgrade your food truck with dozens of gameplay-affecting modules, expand your food catalog, and race to the nation’s new capital in Nashville, Tennessee, to prove once and for all that you’re still the best chef in the world.
