Overcooked is free on the Epic Games Store for a week—and if that sounds familiar, it's because we said exactly the same thing on July 4, 2019, the first time that Overcooked went free on the Epic Games Store.You might be wondering what happened to Ark: Survival Evolved, which a mid-May leak indicated would follow last week's freebie, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. Going by a message posted yesterday by developer Studio Wildcard, It sounds like that will happen next week instead.”Given the situation in the US, and the rest of the world right now, we will be rescheduling the ARK in-game celebration until Thursday, June 11,” it wrote. “We understand that our community has much anticipated the Ark in-game party and the launch of Crystal Isles, and we're looking forward to sharing all we have prepared for you next week. We felt it would be inappropriate to celebrate milestones during the present time as there are bigger things afoot, and that outweighs any plans we otherwise had. We believe now is the time to be respectful and hear the voices of others.”There's no mention of the Epic Games Store giveaway in the announcement, but it's reasonable to assume that they'd coincide. And while it's not GTA5 or Civ 6, Overcooked is quite good: It's a local co-op game for up to four players about cooking and chaos that we said “is hands down one of the best couch party games ever made.
