The updated version includes a wardrobe system that allows players to customize their character’s outfits. Additionally, year-round festivals will also bring seasonal content and challenges to the game.
Additional weapons and boosts will also be introduced, enhancing the dungeon-crawling experience. More details about these features are set to be revealed during The MIX Fall Online Showcase 2024, airing on November 21 at 9:00 AM PT on Media Indie Exchange’s YouTube and Twitch channels.

Blending roguelite dungeon crawling with restaurant management, Cuisineer challenges players to gather ingredients by battling giant chickens, fire-breathing peppers, and artillery shrimps. It is a chaotic culinary bonanza where the ingredients are then used to craft unique dishes, customize restaurant interiors, and cater to the culinary preferences of their loyal patrons.
Originally launched for PC via Steam in November 2023, Cuisineer has been praised for its engaging gameplay and charming aesthetic. It received a ‘Mostly Positive’ rating on Steam from over 1,400 users. It also received a playscore of 7.7 on whatoplay.
The upcoming console release promises to expand on its original appeal, delivering a fresh experience for both newcomers and returning players.
Digital pre-orders for Cuisineer are now open on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X/S for $29.99. A physical Day One edition will be available at launch for $49.99. This special edition includes the game, a soundtrack featuring 37 tracks, a 160-page art book, and a kitchen towel featuring the playful slogan “boba saves lives.”
The physical version will be available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S through participating retailers and the Marvelous USA Online Store.
