Food and cooking are staples of many video games, even when they aren’t really about food and cooking. After all, even video game characters have to eat — to restore health and mana, or to gain buffs. So the trend of video game cookbooks is no surprise — though New Flavors of Azeroth, released in 2021, did surprise us by including the Shadowlands-era Steak al la Mode (better than it sounds!), which came from an expansion packed with odd culinary choices. And the latest addition to our cookbook shelf (obviously we have a cookbook shelf) is the upcoming Guild Wars 2: Feasts of Tyria, which is coming out on September 16.

This Guild Wars 2 cookbook is described as a “cookbook and travelogue,” which looks pretty typical for this genre. It includes a collection of 60 recipes based on foods in the game with thematic descriptions and photos. However, in addition to tasty eats and a little lore, it also includes a unique digital weapon skin for the spears added in Janthir Wilds: Seimur’s Butterknife. Players with a certain aesthetic will appreciate it.

You can pre-order Feasts of Tyria now, and we’ll be checking out the recipes when it’s released later this year. However, I might get to it early and try out the Rosemary Bread recipe included in the book’s preview images. Though it isn’t particularly exotic, bread baked in a dutch oven is usually a tasty treat with a nice crust. But we’ll all have to wait to see the rest of the book.
