No Man’s Sky Developer Hello Games Is Publishing the Next Game From the People Behind Overcooked – The Game Awards 2024

No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games has announced it’s publishing the next game from Ghost Town Games, the studio behind indie hit Overcooked.

Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Stage Fright is a two-player couch co-op game that can also be played online. Think Luigi’s Mansion meets Overcooked with a really charming story, Hello Games said. Expect Overcooked-style chaotic moments mixed with escape room-style co-op. The setting is “magical and spooky,” Hello Games added.

So why is Hello Games, already busy continuing to support No Man’s Sky and working on the upcoming Light No Fire, adding to its slate with publishing? “Hello Games has a bunch of experience we can lend behind the scenes, support we can give, but if we’re honest it really appeals to us to have fun working with a bunch of creative people we just love spending time with,” the studio said. “When we played an early version of Stage Fright we got the same buzz as we had with Overcooked all those years ago, it’s just something we wanted to be involved in.”
