There is a third entry in the Cook, Serve, Delicious series - appropriately named Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! - making its way onto the PC in just a couple weeks via Early Access on Steam and GOG.com. The title will eventually see a full release on that platform as well as Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, but if you just can't wait to man your own food truck and start cooking with a buddy, then you'll want to set a reminder on your device of choice for January 29, 2020.

The first gameplay trailer for Magic: Legends dropped this week, giving us our first glimpses of two of the (initially) planned five playable classes - the Geomancer and the Mind Mage. Much of the action has a distinct Diablo-vibe to it, though there are a couple things in the trailer that help to root it in the Magic universe.

The Iceborne expansion for Monster Hunter: World finally arrived on PC last week (4 months after its console debut), and the initial response was not great. For some players, the game was nearly unplayable as they noticed their CPU usage went through the roof, while others were greeted with a message that the title was unable to read their existing save data and would they like to create new data (the official answer to that is: NO!) Capcom was quickly made aware of these issues and the Monster Hunter development team has been working on fixes. A couple of days ago, the official Monster Hunter Twitter account let everyone know that an update will be out soon to address both of these problems.

If you had May 15, 2020 circled on your calendar and have just been counting down the days until you'll be able to play Marvel's Avengers, go ahead and get your correction fluid, remove that circle, and put a new one on September 4, 2020 (maybe use pencil). Crystal Dynamics announced via Twitter that they need a little more development time "focusing on fine tuning and polishing the game to the high standards our fans expect and deserve."

With the hustle and bustle that comes with last few months of the year, there are cases where good co-op games slip under our radar. Children of Morta absolutely falls into this category. Fortunately, we took some time this past Monday to rectify that and if you haven't checked out this action-RPG rogue-lite, then now's a good time for you to rectify it as well.

It’s a brand new year and a new decade to boot! For this issue of MMOCO, we’ll be looking at a new class for Black Desert Online, the cinematic trailer for mobile MMO Dragon Raja, and anniversary gifts for DC Universe Online. Let’s get started....

There are a number of hands-on previews for Zombie Army 4: Dead War making their rounds through the Internet this week. We'll link to a few down below, along with some captured gameplay footage courtesy of IGN, but the big takeaway seems to be this: if you liked Strange Brigade but wish it was more Nazi zombies and less mummies, good news!

Saber Interactive’s World War Z has finally received the much anticipated Horde Mode as part of Season 2’s lineup of free content. Simply titled “Horde Mode Z”, the new mode brings waves of undead upon the players who will have to scavenge, explore, and fight for survival. The update also adds a new zombie type, The Bomber, who spawns in any game mode and brings an “explosive twist” - it explodes when shot. However, if players are more careful they can disable the explosive-toting undead (as seen in the trailer below) and gather rare supplies to aid their survival efforts. The Season 2 content for World War Z is free and available now across Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Gears 5 kicked off its second “Operation” (i.e., season) last month, called “Operation: Free For All.” The Title Update 3 brought a slew of bug fixes, maps, and the new Free For All PvP mode to the game, but that’s not all we got for December. Much like in real life, Christmas came upon us and the COGs faster than we had anticipated and with it came some holiday-themed content for Gears 5 in the form of the annual Gearsmas event.

Rebellion’s Zombie Army Trilogy will be limping over (as zombies do) to the Nintendo Switch come the first half of 2020. The game is set to include all previously released content, including the Horde mode and all story chapters, as well as an exclusive feature to the Nintendo version: wireless multiplayer for up to four players. More ways to play with friends means more co-opportunities to enjoy!

Team17 and Ghost Town Games have added some free content to the wonderful world of Overcooked! 2. If you're looking to get into the holiday mood with some mince pies and Christmas puddings, then you might want to fire up the game and enjoy the free "Winter Wonderland" update, which was released just a couple days ago.

Dead Mage Studios' rogue-lite action-RPG, Children of Morta, will be getting some free (and paid) content over the next several months. The developer recently released a roadmap that shows their plans to add more to the game, including a feature we're all fans of around here: online co-op.

Last week, Geoff Keighley held the fifth annual Game Awards where games and developers were honored. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice won the "Game of the Year" award (and "Best Action/Adventure Game"), Luigi's Mansion 3 won "Best Family Game" (the co-op is good), and Destiny 2 won "Best Community Support." Amidst all that, there were also some big announcements, including the reveal of the next generation of Xbox.
