NIS America announced that it will release the strategy RPG Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook in North America on May 23, and in Europe on May 26 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. The game will feature English and Japanese dubbing, and English texts. A trailer introducing the game’s systems, battles, and mechanics was also revealed on its official YouTube.
Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook is a roguelike and strategy RPG that spices up the classic formula by adding peculiar cooking mechanics, as taking advantage of all the materials obtained in the apparently endless dungeon is the key to progress and improving the characters. The game was first released in Japan on January 27.
