📢 STORY CAMPAIGN FINALE Coming in February 2026 and we have little changes to Roadmap.

We’ve decided to take a little different approach rather than pushing ourselves to force everything into the 1.0 launch.

Instead, we’ll be releasing the Story Campaign Finale as Content Update #4 ahead of the full release, because it’s the better path for the game, and it gives us the time for some small fixes and final touches.

Story Campaign Finale Content Update #4 is scheduled for February 2026 and will include two final levels, bringing the story campaign to its conclusion.

This means players looking forward to the full campaign can jump in this February. The 1.0 release now set for April 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! 💪
