[hr][/hr][h2]📢 STORY CAMPAIGN FINALE Coming in February 2026 and we have little changes to Roadmap.[/h2][p]We’ve decided to take a little different approach rather than pushing ourselves to force everything into the 1.0 launch.[/p][p]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.[/p][p]Story Campaign Finale Content Update #4 is scheduled for February 2026 and will include two final levels, bringing the story campaign to its conclusion.[/p][p]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.[/p][p]Developing BRUTAL JOHN 2 with our 3-person team is a huge challenge, but we’re giving it everything we have.
