Cuisineer is hitting Xbox on January 28, featuring a host of exciting new additions to spice up your gaming experience. The latest updates on Xbox bring with them lively seasonal festivals filled with one-time-only goodies, a new wardrobe feature for Pom to flaunt various outfits, fresh weapons for your dungeon escapades, and a whole lot more. Let’s dive deep into four of these delightful seasonal festivals and check out what each has to offer.
For those unaware, Cuisineer is a welcoming blend of roguelite dungeon crawling alongside the comforting routines of running a cozy restaurant. It’s joining the Xbox lineup, serving up a smorgasbord of enhancements for players eager for a new flavor. From changing outfits on Pom, the main character, to swinging inventive weapons like the Salt ‘n’ Pepper Shakers during your adventures, to setting the restaurant mood just right with a new gramophone, this game promises layers of immersive gameplay.
One of the standout features worth highlighting is the introduction of seasonal festivals. Pom’s home, Paell, comes alive with eight brand-new celebrations, and today we’re focusing on four. I’ll unveil the perks each festival presents, sprinkling in a special sneak peek at some enchanting concept art.
### Spring Reunion
Welcoming the season of renewal, Spring brings us the Spring Reunion on the 9th. The townsfolk of Paell indulge in this festival by crafting vibrant decorations and hiding eggs all over, waiting for you to discover them. It’s a perfect opportunity to stock up on egg-centric ingredients, a treat for the many who swing by your shop craving eggy delights.
To infuse a burst of springtime cheer into future seasons, consider investing in the Spring Reunion decor and snagging the Spring Bunny outfit, all available for a limited time from local merchants.
### Fireflame Festival
Summer’s highlight is the Fireflame Festival, a fiery celebration taking place on Summer 19. With developers from Singapore, Cuisineer’s tantalizing depiction of Asian cuisine really shines through. During this heated festival, patrons are on the hunt for fiery dishes made with Tasty and Flaming Spice. Scour the town’s Cheelee lanterns for these irresistible ingredients.
Make sure you visit when the sun dips below the horizon to enjoy stunning lantern releases and fireworks. Don’t forget to buy the Fireflame decor and the unique Festive Dragon outfit before the event concludes.
### Harvest Jubilee
Autumn ushers in the Harvest Jubilee on the 7th, showcasing Paell’s breathtaking fall transformation. Residents decorate your restaurant’s fountain to echo the season’s theme with a giant pumpkin. While the harvest anthem plays, there’s room for the sweet stuff too—candy! Find candy baskets throughout town to snag Sweet Sap ingredients, perfect for those autumn diners with a sweet tooth.
Continue the farm-to-table spirit with the Farmer outfit and Harvest Jubilee furniture from town vendors. Pro tip: Dress Pom in the Farmer gear to match her buddy, Biscotti!
### Solanum Gala
Winter wraps up with the cozy Solanum Gala on Winter 17. This festival dresses the town of Paell in picturesque red, green, and white, with a splendid Solanum tree right at your doorstep. Matching these festive hues, customers desire dishes featuring red and green Tomatoes. Luckily, these are ripe for the picking around town.
Don’t miss grabbing the charming Nyanta, a festive outfit turning Pom into the cutest ‘Santa cat’ complete with a hood that fits her cat ears perfectly. To carry the holiday spirit forward, secure some joyous furniture for your restaurant available exclusively on this festive day.
### Preview the Outfits
Before we wrap up, feast your eyes on the charming concept art of the seasonal outfits mentioned earlier. These festivals only skim the surface of the delightful new features packed into Cuisineer’s Xbox release, available for you to savor tomorrow, January 28. Happy cooking!
