Brotato: Primal Dread released on PC: second DLC with dinosaurs, jungle and double evolution
On November 2, 2026 , the Brotato: Primal Dread add-on was released on PC (Windows, macOS and Linux), the second paid DLC for the popular survivor-like from Blobfish Games and Evil Empire. The base Brotato has become one of the most notable representatives of the “bullet heaven” genre, and the new addition sends the potato hero from the abyss straight into a hostile prehistoric jungle, where mutated and cybernetically enhanced predators await him.
The DLC retails for $3.99 and requires the base game. The release date on consoles (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One and Series, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2) and mobile platforms (iOS and Android) is scheduled for early 2027.
What's inside Primal Dread
- New map "Jungle" with 20 waves of enemies, elite monsters and bosses;
- 10 new characters - among them, for example, Poacher, who marks out hunting zones, inside of which kills strengthen the hero, but bring less money;
- 17 new types of weapons and 40 new items, including Fossils: the effect of each is enhanced by each other fossil in the inventory;
- 3 new pets;
- 21 new achievements - with DLC achievements separated from the base game thanks to a new Steam feature;
- new music tracks by composer Adonai.
Double Evolution: Mecha or Mutation
The main mechanic of the add-on is the new characteristic Evolution , which can be upgraded in two opposite directions. Items and decisions shift the scale in one direction or the other, and each edge changes the run in different ways: the Mecha branch is designed to enhance weapons, and the Mutation branch is designed to enhance the multiplicative effects of items. The behavior of the enemies also depends on the direction of evolution: armored dinosaur robots come out from the mech side, and acid-spitting monsters come from the mutation side.
Free update for all owners
In parallel with the release of the DLC, a free patch for the base game was released. It included an Items Set system, balancing Nightmare difficulty enemies, and buffing up legacy characters from both the base version and the first Abyssal Terrors expansion. The developers ask players to disable outdated mods before starting the game: they may conflict with the new version.
