Frozen Way, a Krakow-based development studio, is proud to officially announce Farmatic – a farming life simulator with automation and RPG elements, set in a world inspired by the 1970s and 1990s. 

June 9th, Cracow, Poland. The game will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X with full cross-platform co-op support for up to four players.

Add the game to your Steam wishlist (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2573060/Farmatic/) and follow developers on Discord (https://discord.gg/frozenwayofficial).

Farmatic has been carefully cultivated to blend the charm of classic farming games with elements of automation and light RPG mechanics. Designed as a relaxing yet engaging experience, the game allows players to expand his own farm with the help of friendly bots, and a variety of crops – including mutated plants with special properties. But farming is just one side of the experience.

Players will also venture into mysterious underground mines, filled with valuable resources and hostile creatures guarding them. Between growing crops, crafting equipment, building farm hubs, and fighting for rare ores, Farmatic offers a diverse and rewarding gameplay loop. Combined with a cast of unique NPCs, village life full of quests, it’s an ambitious entry in the cozy farming sim genre.

More information about the game’s mechanics, systems, and supported platforms can be found below or on the official Steam page.

About Farmatic

Farmatic is a farming life simulator that combines cozy farming, light automation, crafting, and combat elements. Set in a retro-futuristic world inspired by the 1970s and 1990s, the game allows players to create and expand their own farm using advanced technology to make everyday farm work more efficient and enjoyable. Whether playing alone or in co-op, players will gradually transform their farm while uncovering new mechanics, completing story-driven quests, and navigating both the charm and the strangeness of village life.

At its core, Farmatic offers players the tools to run their own farm – from planting and harvesting crops to raising animals and using light automation to support everyday tasks. As players progress, they can expand their farm with bots and simple machines that make work easier without replacing the cozy pace of farm life.

Far beneath the peaceful fields lies a dangerous and irradiated zone – the underground mines, home to Rhemidium, a mysterious and highly unstable radioactive metal. As players descend deeper, they must face mutated subterranean lifeforms and survive increasing levels of radiation. Without a protective suit, exposure can quickly take its toll, making every expedition a strategic challenge. Yet the reward is worth it – Rhemidium is key to unlocking some of the game’s most advanced features.

Once prepared by the town’s chemist, Remidium-based soil allows players to grow mutated crops – unique plants with specific, well-defined effects. Each type offers a different utility: some may be processed into uncommon tools or functional upgrades, such as fiery chili plants turned into ammunition with fire damage properties. Others may also be required to complete certain quests, adding a narrative touch to their otherwise practical role on the farm.

Farmatic also features a small-town community full of memorable characters, quests, and interactions. From the eccentric local scientist to the friendly shopkeepers, the town offers many opportunities to get involved in village life and learn more about its curious world. Helping others isn’t just rewarding – it also unlocks new tools, resources, and gameplay features.

One of the standout features of Farmatic is its cooperative gameplay. Up to four players can join forces thanks to full crossplay support across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. Friends can divide tasks, explore the mines together, and build a shared farm in their own style – no matter the platform.

Farmatic focuses on calm, satisfying progression, blending traditional farming with light automation and exploration. It reimagines rural life through a retro-futuristic lens – in a setting that feels both familiar and refreshingly different.

Farmatic is being developed by Frozen Way. The game will launch on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The exact launch date will be revealed in the near future.

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.

Watch Pizza Bandit Early Access Announcement Trailer Here:

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!”

A new video introducing the four-player co-op gameplay has also been released!

Hertfordshire, 9^th June 2025 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force announced that digital pre-orders for their upcoming fantasy hunting game, WILD HEARTS S, are now available on Nintendo Switch™ 2. To celebrate, a new video introducing the four-player co-op gameplay with commentary from the producers has been released. Players can get a closer look at the “Karakuri”, one of the main features of WILD HEARTS S, ahead of its release on 25 July 2025.

In WILD HEARTS S, players must master an ancient technology called “Karakuri” (automaton) to hunt giant beasts across a fantasy world inspired by feudal Japan. Gameplay has been enhanced on Nintendo Switch™ 2 for players to enjoy a deeper experience by hunting in a pack of up to four players. In multiplayer mode, whether online* or local, players will be able to craft and combine a wide variety of “Karakuri” to support them in their hunt for giant, nature-infused beasts.

By weaving the threads of “Karakuri”, players can create a wide range of items, such as crates or a glider. These items can then be combined to create more powerful “Karakuri”, such as beast-piercing blades, shields, or traps. Players will also be able to transform the hunting ground by crafting specific “Karakuri” that will remain on the field, providing a unique experience unique for each player.

In addition to the “Karakuri” used for hunting, players will be able to craft and use a variety of equipment, each with its own characteristics. From common weapons, such as “Nodachi” and “Bow”, to the more unique “Karakuri Katana” and “Bladed Wagasa”, players will have a wide range of weapons at their disposal to hunt and slay the beasts roaming the lands of Azuma. Whether wielding blazing lava, raging blizzards or miasma, these giant, nature-infused beasts will pose serious challenges for players who will need to use the materials gathered from their hunts to craft new, more powerful weapons if they are to stand any chance of survival.

Players can now pre-order both the physical** and digital versions of WILD HEARTS S on Nintendo Switch™ 2 ahead of its release on 25^th July 2025.

“With Kleks Academy we wanted to appeal to both fans of the Polish series as well as newcomers who have never heard of it,” said Łukasz Skrzypkowski, Chairman of the Board for BeardedBrothers.Games. “Kleks Academy includes a multitude of fairy tale worlds people are familiar with globally, so we think fans of fantasy platforming adventures across the globe will find something to like here.”
