Bacon Project is a anime-style card game for fans of 1v1 duels. The game pits two criminals renowned for their destructive capabilities in an underground arena. Each player embodies one such character with a unique set of skills and abilities.

Your goal is simple : Defeat your opponent’s character. Victory comes from timing your abilities well, chaining strong combos, and outsmarting the other player at every turn.

Hello everyone !

Here is a peek at the current state of the video game version of Bacon Project, straight from our latest build ! Below is a screenshot showing how things are shaping up.

This screenshot is taken from the perspective of the Hector Hunt player. We went with this layout to keep everything clean and easy to follow, without flooding the screen with too much info. Before we hit Early Access in January 2026, here are the visual elements that have yet to be added : 

• Playing cards will be updated to match the official Bacon Project card designs. 

• The white Cast Zone rectangle will either become transparent or get its proper Bacon Project skin. 

• The grey Stack Zone will also receive its final skin. 

• All icons will be polished and updated. 

• The background image will likely change to something more fitting. 

• The font across all text will be replaced with one that matches the Bacon Project vibe more closely. More previews are on the way ! 

Note that we are currently three people working on this Early Access build — all while juggling our regular jobs. After the Early Access launch, the team will most likely grow, especially as we aim for a full Steam release by the end of 2026. That stage will bring a lot more to the table including animations, voice acting and music. 

With about ONE month left until the early video game version of Bacon Project, I’ve been going through the kits of every playable character from the physical version of Bacon Project. The goal is to make sure the roster feels fair, fun, and full of good matchups in the digital version.

I’ve been doing this together with the community on the Bacon Project Discord Server. A bunch of players there have been testing recent character changes through Tabletop Simulator and Tabletopia.  That help has been huge, especially because our dev team is tiny — just three people ( me, our programmer, and our graphic designer ) working on the game alongside full-time jobs.

If you’re an experienced Bacon Project player here on Itch.io, your feedback would be super valuable. Balance testing is happening right now, and this is the best moment to jump in and shape the final roster.

And if you’re a new player, now is a perfect time to familiarize yourself with the game. Since the video game announcement, lots of veterans are active and ready to teach, spar, and answer any questions about the rules, characters, or the world.

Here is a link to the dedicated discord server for anybody interested in seeing what's up,

Note that some character files currently on itch.io may be a bit different from the latest versions on the server ( we’re updating fast )

Expect to see more announcements in the upcoming days regarding the Bacon Project video game !  

Hope to see you in the arena !
