Killer Bean (2026)
The new Killer Bean is a first/third-person action-roguelike that hit Steam Early Access on June 8, 2026. You play the betrayed coffee-bean assassin, dropped onto a procedurally generated island, and you blast, parkour and bullet-time your way through four warring factions to wipe out the Shadow Agency.
It’s a solo project from Jeff Lew — the guy who made the Killer Bean Forever movie — built over two years with 6,200+ playtesters. Think bullet-time slow-mo, ragdoll physics, hijackable vehicles, and that "one more run" loop. It’s rough right now, but it has a personality you won’t find anywhere else. Use the cards below to jump straight to what you came for.
