Brotato ‘New Dawn’ update now available for PC, coming to consoles and mobile in one month

by

Evil Empire just launched the first update for Brotato since becoming responsible for its ongoing development. Called “New Dawn,” the update is out now on PC, and will be available on consoles and mobile devices in about a month.

Here is an overview of the update, via Evil Empire:

The “New Dawn” update is the first major content addition to Brotato since late 2024. It primarily improves the game with lots of quality-of-life changes, including a brand-new ban system. But, staying true to the developers’ style, it also adds some new items and a new weapon.

  • 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 (for example: How many times you killed a specific alien, etc.). Evil Empire plans to continue to build this feature out based on player feedback.

A longer and fully detailed list of updates can be found here.

Brotato is now released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC (through Steam), and mobile devices (iOS and Android).
