From Press Release:
Milton Keynes, UK, September 9, 2026 – Dinner service is stressful enough without intruders turning your kitchen into a full-blown warzone. Today, 505 Games and INGAME STUDIOS reveal Mayhem à la Carte, a four-player co-op cooking game-meets-first-person-
shooter coming to PC via Steam Early Access in 2027. Players must work together to prepare and serve increasingly complicated meals while defending their kitchen from waves of attackers determined to ruin dinner service. At first, you and your friends are working at what seems like a normal busy kitchen. Orders arrive. Potatoes need chopping. Burgers need frying. Someone should probably check the oven.
Then all hell breaks loose.
Suddenly, one cook is finishing an order while another is fighting off attackers. Someone has lost control of a lobster, and half the kitchen is being destroyed. Fortunately, almost everything within reach can help. Throw cleavers, improvise with kitchen equipment, grab a weapon, or discover that today’s culinary disaster might actually make a surprisingly effective explosive to keep those enemies out of the way and keep orders flowing out to hungry customers.
Whatever happens, the customers are still waiting.
Key Features:
- Cook Under Fire: Orders don’t stop just because the kitchen is under attack. Chop, fry, bake and plate meals together while enemies crash into the restaurant around you. Good teamwork means knowing who is cooking, who is serving — and who needs to put down the frying pan and pick up a shotgun.
- Turn Food Into a Weapon: Ingredients aren’t just for dinner; stun, freeze, shrink and blow up attackers using ridiculous food-based effects. Even a failed recipe can become useful when thrown at the right enemy.
- Embrace the Chaos: Pots boil over, ingredients roll across the floor, walls get shredded, and giant lobsters escape. Carefully organized kitchens can descend into complete disaster within seconds. Adapt, improvise, and somehow keep dinner service going.
- Four Chefs, One Kitchen: Divide responsibilities, communicate and try to operate like a professional kitchen brigade. Proximity voice chat lets players coordinate under pressure — or determine exactly which friend is responsible for the latest catastrophe.
- Restaurants Around the World: Travel between restaurants inspired by cuisines from around the world, with new recipes, environments, hazards and kitchen mechanics to master.
Mayhem à la Carte will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam in 2027.
