PIZZA BANDIT ENTERS EARLY ACCESS ON STEAM AND EPIC GAMES STORE
Where Hilarious Bounty Hunting and Panic-Fueled Cooking Collide!
(Seoul, South Korea) – August 25, 2025 – The kitchen is open, and it's extremely flammable! Indie studio JofSoft has officially launched Pizza Bandit into Early Access on Steam and Epic Games Store: a chaotic third-person co-op shooter where hilarious bounty hunting and panic-fueled cooking collide across space and time – think Gears of War meets Overcooked!
Watch Pizza Bandit EA Trailer:
In Pizza Bandit, players become a time-traveling ex-mercenary, Malik, with an oddly specific dream–opening the galaxy's greatest pizza joint. To fund that dream, players will travel across eras, take down dangerous targets, and cook under literal fire. From flipping dough in a warzone to serving up kills with style, every mission is a multitasking meltdown!
"We wanted to blend arcade-style combat with the absurd pressure of a cooking show in total crisis," says Hugo Pak, Game Director at JofSoft. "It's fast, ridiculous, and surprisingly strategic– just like trying to open a restaurant during an alien invasion!"
Early Access Features Include:
-
1–4 Player Online Co-op: Roll solo or team up with friends. Mission difficulty scales, but so does the chaos.
-
Cooking Under Fire: Slice, assemble, and plate meals mid-battle while dodging bullets and managing enemy waves.
-
Bounty Missions Through Time: Travel through chaotic timelines filled with distinct enemies, hazards, and bonus objectives.
-

-
Pizzeria Customization: Spend your hard-earned bounty cash to deck out your dream restaurant with neon, décor, and appliances.
-
Stylish Character Customization: Streetwear, glowing accessories, wild hair– dress like a culinary warlord.
-
A New Voice Cast: The game's voice-over was directed by industry veteran Chris Borders (VO Director for the Gears series).
-
Intro Cinematics and Achievements: Discover Malik's backstory through new cinematics and unlock in-game and Steam achievements.
Pizza Bandit launches into Early Access with a full core loop, online matchmaking, and a healthy dose of fire-based panic. The team at JofSoft plans to add new missions, enemies (including beefier armored variations and new monsters), recipes, cosmetics, and restaurant content throughout development, with player feedback helping shape the roadmap.
Pizza Bandit is available now on Steam Early Access with a 10% launch-week discount available for a limited time, ending September 5th, 2025.
