Free Versus Mode Update Now Available for ‘Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking’
Strange Scaffold and Frosty Pop’s Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking has received a new update in the form of Versus Mode, adding a competitive twist to the game’s otherwise cooperative experience. The game is also having a generous 40% discount on now during the Steam Autumn Sale.
As the name implies, the new mode splits players into rival teams, each racing to be the first to satisfy their own kaiju’s ravenous hunger. Players explore the larder at their own risk, scavenging resources quicker than their opponents. Those clever enough can also strategize with their allies and terrorize the other team to win the feeding frenzy.
The new mode arrives after Strange Scaffold launched the game’s Endless Mode last month, where players try to score as many points as possible and enter larder levels at random, feeding monsters catapult-style and avoiding large rats and monsters.
First released in July, Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking is a chaotic multiplayer game where players catapult improvised meals into the maws of rampaging monsters to prevent the apocalypse. The absurdist horror game has players take on the role of medieval monks — the only chefs who can prevent the apocalypse. Feed enormous monsters with a catapult, evade supernatural enemies, and navigate a reality-bending labyrinth with up to four players (or more, if you want to risk your computers/sanity) before time runs out.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open air-areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
