Upcoming Video Game Cookbooks

The trend of gaming cookbooks shows no signs of slowing down. Exciting upcoming releases include a Pac-Man inspired cookbook, which promises to be a delightful mystery, and a Borderlands cookbook, likely tied to the promotions for Borderlands 4. As a fan eager to try Sojiro's curry from Persona 5, I'm particularly thrilled about the upcoming Persona cookbook set to release later this year.
