What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Penguin Heist was decided to be Early Access due to the fact that the game is built around its community. We put player feedback near the top of our list when it comes to how we design our game. An Early Access release gives us a chance to get that player feedback during the development process as opposed to after it.

With this feedback we aim to shape Penguin Heist from a fun game to an excellent one.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect it to be in Early Access until at least 2024, but if the game sees a lot of support we have more resources to make bigger plans in Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Early Access is about improving on everything, until we're happy with the result, but also adding new features and content. This means adding new heists/maps, weapons and items, clothing, gamemodes, sound effects, music, and the like.

The full version is not only supposed to have more of everything, but be more polished, optimized, and user friendly. The idea is to let the game grow naturally with player suggestions,”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently fully playable with 11 heists/maps available and lots of gadgets and weapons. There are additional gamemodes/maps such as pizza baking and zombie survival.

There may be some bugs here and there, but there's nothing that will set your computer on fire.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We do not intend on raising the price during Early Access, but we may do an increase once the full version is released if the total number of new features warrants it.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have a Discord and a subreddit where we encourage players to actively participate. There you can make suggestions, report bugs, and discuss features with the developers. Throughout the process we will involve the community in finding out what new content is desired the most.

You can join the subreddit here: http://www.reddit.com/r/penguinheist/, and you can join our Discord server here: http://discord.com/invite/erAQVkqPtQ.”

About This Game

The Greatest Penguin Heist of All Time is the one and only 1-8 player CO-OP physics-based heist game featuring a bunch of kleptomanic penguins. You'll experience a blend of physics-based platforming with stealth, strategy, action, and CHAOS.



Being inspired by old school stealth and heist games along with modern physics platformers, Penguin Heist aims to breathe new life into the genre with a modern physics engine along with multiplayer. You pick your mission, your loadout, and you set out on your mission. Use your tools, weapons, and wit to infiltrate, steal, and exfiltrate as well as you can. Unlock new weapons and items by completing quests and exploring the maps, and get the sickest penguin drip by spending your hard earned money in the clothing store.

Choose stealth and complete the game without killing anyone, choose chaos and blow everything up with high-tech weaponry, or anything inbetween. No matter what level of expertise you are on, Penguin Heist will offer a challenge for everyone. If not, you can have fun slapping your friends with bananas and baguettes.



  • Online CO-OP with up to 8 people playing together
  • 18 very different heists with several side quests
  • Alternative game modes, such as pizza baking, zombie survival, and PvP
  • 100+ quests spread across the maps
  • 100+ weapons and items
  • 100+ clothes and skins
  • 20+ unique skins
  • Diverse playing styles from stealth to explosive chaos
  • Heist planner with custom loadouts
  • Daily challenges
  • Realistic penguin nooting



Penguin Heist features a variety of heist locations that all have their unique flair. One heist will have you stealing boats full of fish, another might have you stealing valuable works of art, and yet another may require you to kidnap an prized chef. However, it is the job of a penguin to figure out the way that they want to execute their heist. Loud or silent, lethal or non-lethal - there is no right answer... there is only the way you play!

Weapon Store


As you progress through the game, you will unlock new weapons, tools, and items. These range from normal guns to drones to explosives to food. Each item has a special feature that can be used to complete a heist. See a pair of penguins guarding a door? You can blast them into oblivion with dynamite and a minigun, you can poison them with stinky fish, you can lure them away and sneak in, you can distort gravity and run past.



Get your gear from the Weapon Store. While it has the regular stock guns, you might want to check out the more unconventional weapons and items available.

Clothing Store

While a penguin can be proficient with every weapon and know heisting in and out, what is a penguin without style? Customize your penguin's skin, headwear, facewear, and clothes.



You don't need fancy loot when you've got style... well, you need the loot to buy clothes, but you get it.

Post Office

As an addition to the regular stores, the Post Office offers special deliveries as well as unique and epic items.



Check out the daily deliveries at the local, cosy Post Office! Make sure to keeps your Penguin Stamps at hand, becuase here you pay with them instead of good old Fish Coins.

Library

In Penguin Heist, items and weapons are unlocked by finding blueprints. These can be obtained from completing quests or by exploring. Some are easy, others are hard, and that's why one of the features of the Library is to provide hints to the player.

Disclaimer: Please note that this is a physics game. The penguins have simulated joints and the controls are therefore not as responsive as your average game. You may find the controls "janky", which is completely the result of the physics simulation.
