Press release:
Bristol, United Kingdom — December 14, 2023.
The Bristol-based (the UK) indie games publisher Yogscast Games and indie games developer It’s happening, are today very happy and excited to announce that their food-based action roguelite “PlateUp!”, is coming digitally and physically to consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) on February 15th, 2024.

“PlateUp!” seamlessly blends the spice of classic co-op cooking action and a dollop of permanent roguelite progression, as players cook and serve up delicious dishes in restaurants of their own creation. These ever-evolving diners are built on the back of a wide selection of cuisine, equipment and layout options. There’s plenty to help players cook up a storm in their perfect restaurant.

PlateUp! also supports up to 4 players both online and locally, meaning its multiplayer madness can be enjoyed from the comfort of the couch, the tense trappings of a train or even the backroom of your own restaurant, if you’re into that. Friends and family will need their aprons on and spatulas at the ready as they rally together to keep their business afloat.

With over 10,000 reviews on Steam, console players finally get to know what all the fuss is about with this carefully crafted console edition. PlateUp! is the perfect game for newcomers, so get ready to throw your chef’s hat into the ring and kickstart your restaurant adventure.

What’s more, the PlateUp! Collector’s Edition is available to pre-order. Aiming to reflect the fun and frantic nature of the game, it will feature four exclusive Mini-Figurines inspired by the iconic playable characters of PlateUp! Also confirmed for all physical editions of the game are additional character cosmetics, including 8 unique hats (Cat Hat, Cowboy Hat and more!) along with 4 unique particle effects.

PlateUp! will be priced at £49.99 / €59.99 / $59.95 SRP (Collector’s Edition) and £34.99 / €39.99 / $39.95 SRP (Standard Edition). PlateUp! is available to pre-order now and is available from a number of retailers worldwide. For more information on pre-orders in Europe please visit the Numskull Games homepage. In North America the game can be pre-ordered from Amazon US, Best Buy, Gamestop and other popular retailers.
