Ghost Town Games, the team behind Overcooked!, is at work on Stage Fright, a two-player co-op mystery adventure scheduled for spring 2027. New gameplay footage released in September 2026 is the clearest look yet at how the studio's coordination-driven style works outside a kitchen.
Ghost Town Games is no longer only the studio behind Overcooked!. The team has moved its co-op design into Stage Fright, a two-player co-op mystery adventure in development for spring 2027. The game follows three children named Drew, Blake, and Charlie through a strange town. Players swap between pairs of characters to see the story from different angles while solving escape-room-style puzzles. Gameplay footage released in September 2026 shows how the studio carried over the coordination and chaos of Overcooked! into a puzzle adventure with a story and a larger world.
The Overcooked! series itself appears in coverage only as a finished thing other people play. In June 2026, creative label KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO announced it would join VTuber Summer Slam 2026, an international charity event organized by the US nonprofit Gamers Outreach. Four affiliated artists, Rima, Koko, Kakyoin, and Hiyashi, streamed Overcooked! 2 on the KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO YouTube channel. The stream, titled Games for Every Kid: Charity Stream for Hospitalized Children, ran June 25 from 23:00 to 1:00 JST, primarily in English with Japanese translation. Donations funded GO Karts, mobile kiosk terminals with consoles, monitors, and controllers, for children's hospitals.
That is the whole of the current picture from this coverage. Overcooked! 2 remains a title streamers reach for when they want cooperative cooking chaos on camera. The next work by its studio is a different genre and a different setting, with a release window set for spring 2027.
