(Seoul, South Korea) – July 10, 2025 – Jofsoft is thrilled to announce that Pizza Bandit, its upcoming third-person co-op shooter blending fast-paced action and chaotic cooking, will launch in Early Access on Steam on August 25, 2025. After a well-received reveal at the PC Gaming Show, the game is heading to Europe with a playable demo available at the Jofsoft booth (Hall 10.2, Stand E0.10 /D.011) during Gamescom 2025 in Cologne.

In Pizza Bandit, players take on the role of Malik, a former mercenary turned aspiring pizzaiolo, determined to fulfill his dream of opening the greatest restaurant in the multiverse. To fund his dream, Malik takes on dangerous bounty missions across different time periods, battling hordes of time reapers while sharpening his culinary skills.
 

Each mission is an opportunity to unlock new recipes, gather rare ingredients, and upgrade the restaurant.
 

Key Gameplay Features:
 

• Cooking Under Fire: Prepare dishes in real time—like sushi, steak, grilled chicken and more—while exchanging bullets with relentless enemies.
• Pizzeria Management: Upgrade your restaurant between missions, unlock special recipes, and gain in-combat bonuses.
• Bounty Missions: Complete multi-objective contracts to earn rare gear and unlock new challenges.
• Weapon Customization: Combine components to create custom weapons tailored to your playstyle.
• Online Co-op for Up to 4 Players: Dynamic difficulty and friendly fire enabled—tight coordination is key!

“Pizza Bandit isn’t just another co-op shooter—it’s a wild blend of cooking and combat,” said Aron Koh, executive producer at Jofsoft. “We wanted to create a game where you’re grilling steak and dodging missiles at the same time. It’s absurd, fast, and insanely fun—exactly the kind of game we love to play.”
