Upcoming Video Game Cookbooks

The trend of gaming cookbooks shows no sign of slowing down. Exciting upcoming releases include a Pac-Man inspired cookbook, which intrigues with its mystery, and a Borderlands cookbook tied to the upcoming Borderlands 4. Personally, I'm eagerly awaiting the Persona cookbook, hoping to finally recreate Sojiro's famous curry from Persona 5.
