Sorry for the delay🙏This update turned out to be really tough to develop: tons of complex cutscenes, each requiring massive work, a challenging boss fight, and more. Working with voice actors, as always, takes time and careful planning, and this time added even more complications due to cutscene scripts and dialogue that we kept reworking throughout development.

📢 Content Update #4 "Story Finale" will release on March 9. Sorry for the delay🙏

Dear friends, we messed up the update timeline - this is entirely our fault. We overestimated our capacity and thought we could deliver faster.

This update turned out to be really tough to develop: tons of complex cutscenes, each requiring massive work, a challenging boss fight, and more. Working with voice actors, as always, takes time and careful planning, and this time added even more complications due to cutscene scripts and dialogue that we kept reworking throughout development.

As a small team, we sometimes push too hard and think we can get everything done faster than reality allows.

Few screenshots from the new levels:

Content Update #4 "Story Finale" drops on March 9.

Let’s finish this story the right way 💪

Thank you for sticking with us, for the patience, and for the support. We see you. We appreciate you.

📢 What’s coming after Content Update #4?

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 - now 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! 💪

Thanks for your attention and support! We will continue to read feedback, and continue improving the game!
