This Game Blends Cooking And Monster Fighting--And It Has The Perfect Name
Briefly

Beastro is a 2026 adventure game blending cooking mechanics, laidback farming, and deckbuilding combat. Players control Panko, a young fox chef who inherits a village eatery after his mentor disappears. Gameplay centers on managing the restaurant, growing ingredients, foraging, and serving patrons. Feeding Caretakers, adventurers who defend the village, is central: each Caretaker has a flavor region that shapes taste preferences and battle style. Preparing meals through cooking minigames boosts Caretakers, unlocks new deck cards, and enhances combat effectiveness. Expeditions return with spoils used for future meals. The game launches on Steam and Xbox Series X|S, day one on Xbox Game Pass; players can wishlist or register for updates.
Set to launch in 2026 on Steam and Xbox Series X|S (available day one with Xbox Game Pass), Beastro follows Panko, a young fox and chef who suddenly finds himself in charge of a village eatery after his mentor mysteriously disappears. As Panko, players will manage the restaurant, grow ingredients on the farm, forage in the wild, and serve local patrons.
Each Caretaker comes from a different "flavor region" that influences their taste preferences and battle style. Some prefer sweet dishes, while others crave something bitter or spicy. By mastering a variety of cooking minigames and carefully crafting meals to match each adventurer's palate, players can boost their strength, unlock new cards for their deck, and prepare themselves for the battles ahead.
