The adorably hardcore cooking roguelite leaves Early Access with a brand new Endless Mode and online co-op for up to four players.

BANGKOK, Thailand, September 24, 2026 | Game developer Novice Flow and Rising Tide Publishing are thrilled to announce Sous Raccoon will leave Steam Early Access on Oct 1, 2026.

Players step into the kitchen as a raccoon sous chef, juggling orders, ingredients and contending with monsters determined to interrupt dinner service. Prepare meals, serve hungry customers and fight off baddies while trying to survive another shift without getting fired by the chef!

Across four restaurant worlds, different enemies, hazards and kitchen layouts keep things unpredictable. Players earn upgrades and abilities to help handle the next rush. Take on the challenge alone or recruit friends for online co-op, with up to four playable raccoons sharing the cooking and combat bedlam. 

The game also introduces Endless Mode, giving players a way to keep the kitchen chaos going for as long as they can handle the heat. Check out the trailer below:

“The Sous Raccoon team is just like their game, adorably hardcore,” said Justin Paulsen of Rising Tide Publishing. “They’ve obsessed over every detail, from the pacing of a shift to how much trouble a raccoon can cause in a kitchen. You can feel that care when you play. Hours go by, your friends should have logged off ages ago, and someone still says, ‘One more round.’”

With one week until launch, Rising Tide Publishing is inviting press and content creators to roll up their sleeves and get hands-on with the full release ahead of Oct 1. Review and creator keys are available upon request, including extras for Twitch Drops.
