Cook, Serve, Delicious: Remustard! Sets January Launch With New Campaign and Local Co-op

The restaurant is reopening, and the kitchen looks rather different this time. Vertigo Gaming Inc. has announced that Cook, Serve, Delicious: Remustard!, a new remaster of the original cooking management game, will launch on 18 January 2027 for Steam and other PC storefronts.

The updated release revisits the first Cook, Serve, Delicious! with a rebuilt campaign, refreshed visuals, extra recipes and new ways to play with a friend. Versions for Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch are planned to follow later in 2027.

From one-star disaster to five-star restaurant

At the centre of Remustard! is a new campaign in which players manage a struggling restaurant and try to turn it into a successful five-star establishment. That means choosing a menu, preparing food under pressure and improving the business as new challenges appear.

All 30 foods from the original game return, joined by new recipes, ingredients and upgrades. Hundreds of new in-game emails are also part of the package, adding more requests, surprises and flavour to the day-to-day running of the restaurant.

The familiar rhythm of taking orders and preparing dishes is still the main attraction, but Vertigo says the difficulty has been carefully rebalanced to make progression feel rewarding without losing the quick reactions and planning that define the series.

Two ways to cook together

Local multiplayer is a larger focus this time around. Players can tackle the entire campaign in co-op, choosing between the established Chef/Expediter setup and a newly introduced split-screen multiplayer mode.

That provides an alternative for pairs who prefer to work side by side rather than dividing responsibilities through the original arrangement. Both options retain the pressure of running a busy kitchen while offering different ways to share the workload.

The remaster also brings new artwork targeting 60 frames per second and an expanded soundtrack by returning composer Jonathan Geer, with music selected from across all four Cook, Serve, Delicious! games.

Designed for PC and handheld play

Vertigo Gaming says the game has been developed with Steam Deck in mind, allowing the quick-fire cooking sessions to be enjoyed away from a desktop computer.

The studio has spent years developing the wider series, alongside earlier games such as The Oil Blue and The Sandbox of God. Remustard! offers a new entry point for players who missed the original while giving existing fans a reason to return to its opening restaurant.

Cook, Serve, Delicious: Remustard! launches on 18 January 2027 for PC, with console editions due later in the year. It can be wishlisted on Steam.
