📢 Content Update #4 "Story Finale" - OUT NOW!


📢 NEW LEVELS RELEASED!

Two brand-new story chapters expanding the main single player campaign.


Level 17: Total Payback

Inside NFT Labs, croco scientists twist life itself - breeding unstable NFT clones.

Brutal John locks and loads. Brutal Dog bares his teeth.

This isn’t infiltration. This is extermination.

Shatter the labs. Burn the clone factory to the ground. End the experiments. End the madness.

And at the center of it all - Luzilian. Face him in a relentless boss fight where every shot counts and every second burns. No more running. No more waiting. The time has come.


Level 18: One Last Ride

Brutal John and Brutal Dog board their boat for the final voyage. No backup. No mercy. No turning back.

Through crashing waves and falling fire, Luzilian awaits - stronger, deadlier, and ready to end it all.

Engines roar. Guns blaze. Steel meets fury.

This is the last ride. This is the final battle. Time to save the world.

❓ OK. BUT HOW TO ACCESS NEW LEVELS?

The new levels can now be accessed directly from the Chapters menu in the Main Menu. Levels are listed as Level 17 and Level 18 for easy selection.


🏷️ And by the way - BRUTAL JOHN 2 is on discount right now!

With Content Update #4 out, adding new levels, fixes, and improvements, it’s the perfect time to jump in!


📢 What's coming next:

Content Update #5 "The Vault": Coming in April/May 2026, Roadmap Updated.

Many of you asked for more levels and more content - and we’ve been listening. This update is our response to the community’s requests, and we’re excited to finally bring it to you soon.

Content Update #5 "The Vault" will open the archives and bring you fully playable deleted levels that didn’t make it into the final storyline - restored and ready to experience.

“The Vault” will also feature exclusive behind-the-scenes content from the game’s long development journey: early concepts, deleted scenes, prototype ideas, and raw gameplay footage from six years ago (yes, game truly went through Development Hell).

It’s a deep dive into what could have been, and how the game became what it is today.

We hope this update will be a great experience for both longtime fans and new players alike.

And the 1.0 release set for Q2 2026 - is mostly a marketing step, giving us the space to build the visibility for the game and do final small touches to the game.

Developing BRUTAL JOHN 2 with our 3-person team is a huge challenge, but we’re giving it everything we have. Thank you for your continued support! 💪
