Evil Empire has released the first update for Brotato after taking over future development of the game earlier this year.
The first update for the game’s new developer brings with it extensive quality of life changes, including an all-new ban system. The update is out now for PC and will release soon on consoles and mobile.
Here’s a rundown on the new update, plus a trailer:
The “New Dawn” update is the first new content update for Brotato since late 2024 and focuses on extensive quality of life changes – including an all-new ban system.
- New Items – Leading the update are six new items which include Fresh Meat, Fruit Basket, Candy Bag, Ghost Outfit, Will – o’ – Wisp and Hourglass – all of which provide various benefits to players skillsets and strengths while they take on wave after wave of gross little aliens.
- New Weapon – Also joining the fray is a new weapon fans can wield if they so choose, the Vorpal Sword, which alternates between thrusting and sweeping attacks and grants players the ability to one-shot an enemy for the first time.
- Ban System – Additional extras in today’s update includes the Ban system, a much-requested community feature that will allow players to ban up to eight items during a run. Win a run in Danger 3 or more to unlock the Ban system. Note: the Ban system does not include weapons.
- New Saves – The New Dawn update also introduces three new save slots which gives players the option to copy progress onto another profile (or reset the save). Unlocking every item, character, weapon and Danger level on a save will deactivate the earning of achievements, so use with caution as you will still have to earn them the hard way.
- Codex – The Codex introduces a new wiki-esque feature to the game, with information about Items, Weapons and Enemies (e.g. – How many times you killed a specific alien, etc). Evil Empire plans to continue to build this feature out based on player feedback.
Brotato has been available for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, and PS5.
