JOFSOFT REVEALS AUGUST 25TH EARLY ACCESS DATE FOR PIZZA BANDIT AT THE PC GAMING SHOW

Official Demo Now Available on Steam with New Bounty Missions!

(Seoul, South Korea) – June 9, 2025 – Pizza Bandit, the upcoming third-person co-op shooter that can be described as a mix of Gears of War meets Overcooked, is set to launch on Steam in Early Access on August 25, 2025. As part of the PC Gaming Show, Jofsoft has released a brand-new trailer that offers a slice of the game’s chaotic gameplay, and an official demo is now available on Steam that includes 3 new bounty missions.



Set in a future where time travel is real, Pizza Bandit follows Malik, an ex-mercenary finally chasing his childhood dream: opening a pizza restaurant. Though he was built for battle, not baking, he’s determined to make it work. With nothing but an empty venue and no money, Malik takes on high-risk bounty missions through time to fund his dream.

Battling through shifting eras and fending off relentless time reapers, Malik picks up more than just scars. Each mission helps him grow as a cook—unlocking rare ingredients, discovering new pizza recipes, and learning skills that inch him closer to opening day. Survive the chaos, master the kitchen, and turn a broken dream into the best pizza joint around.

A Slice of Gameplay Features:

Cooking Meets Combat: Pizza Bandit merges intense third-person shooting with real-time cooking mechanics, where players must prepare a variety of dishes—like sushi, steak, grilled chicken, and more—mid-battle to survive and succeed.

Pizzeria Management: Between missions, players can upgrade and personalize their restaurant, crafting pizzas that grant gameplay-enhancing buffs. Players’ cooking EXP and restaurant prestige will unlock new pizza recipes and buffs to help survive missions.

Bounty Contracts: Players can engage in special contract missions featuring layered objectives and bonus rewards. Completing these contracts unlocks new weapons, equipment, and further missions, enhancing their gameplay progression.

Weapon Customization: Players gather and combine upgrade components to modify their weapons, enabling personalized playstyles and strategic versatility.

1–4 Player Online Co-Op: The game supports dynamic squad-based play with scaling difficulty and active friendly fire, forcing tight coordination and teamwork.

“Pizza Bandit isn’t just another co-op shooter—it’s a chaotic blend of intense combat and ridiculous charm,” said Aron Koh, executive producer at Jofsoft. “We wanted to create a game where dodging bullets and grilling steak go hand in hand, where the stakes are high, but the humor stays sharp. It’s a wild, unpredictable ride that doesn't take itself too seriously—until the action kicks in. That contrast is what makes it so fun!”
