Well here's a surprise from The Game Awards! The team behind Overcooked, Ghost Town Games, has announced that it's teaming up with No Man's Sky's Hello Games on an all-new couch co-op experience, Stage Fright.
From what we've seen so far, this isn't Overcooked (nor is it Overcooked 2), but it does look just as chaotic. Hello Games has noted that it aims to bring "a brand new two player experience" to the couch co-op realm, with a spooky setting that has a definite whiff of Luigi's Mansion.
We still don't know all that much about what Stage Fright will throw our way just yet, but it looks like we should all expect to be barking out orders to our pals while avoiding all kinds of creepy creatures. You can have a gander at the following screenshots for a closer look at the game's colourful cast of characters.
Hello Games noted that this collaboration has been a long time coming, with the No Man's Sky team befriending Ghost Town during Overcooked's early demo period.
We still don't have a precise release date for this one just yet and platforms aren't confirmed, but we'll be keeping an eye out over the coming months for more updates.
What do you make of Stage Fright from what we've seen so far? Let us know in the comments.

Looks like it could be fun, I like how each screen looks quite different and isn't just mirroring the same thing. As someone who really enjoyed It Takes Two, there's been lots of similar co-op games shown off at the Game Awards this year, so that's cool.
But man--what's with the pink-haired protagonist with the shaved head and multiple earrings? It's such a generic, "How do you do, fellow Gen-Z?" look to it that's in every game nowadays. Just feels like corporate pandering.
That is... That is a swerve. I would have expected Hello to actually, you know, make another game. I thought they were stuck milking the same IP as a service till heat death, Riot style. ... Oh wait, I guess that means this is Valorant
I really like the setting, and the art style is nice.
But I would like to see some more gameplay before getting excited.
Pretty funny that this poked fun at game trailers not showing gameplay while luckily showing at least some at the end - seems like it could be a fun co-op game so I'm definitely keeping an eye on it!
Oof, two player hurts.
Judging by the title, I was thinking we were getting an Overcooked version of a Broadway musical.
Lame looking Woke protagonists annoy me
Will likely pass on this game because of it
What a shame, because Overcooked has so many ridiculous and fun options for player characters.
