Evil Empire has announced that it will be taking over post-launch development of Brotato, while under Blobfish’s direct supervision. The game’s first full update will release in October 2025.
Evil Empire, which has previously worked on games such as The Rogue Prince of Persia, posted the following message via the Steam store page:
“Hello everyone,
Something is happening to Brotato in the next few months – so what’s going on?
Well, what’s going on is that Evil Empire (that’s us) are taking over the development of Brotato – while remaining under the watchful, beady, fishy eyes of Blobfish Games of course.
The Blobfish Games team would love to continue updating Brotato until the end of time so that you can keep slaughtering aliens in increasingly absurd ways. But, they are also humans with their own hopes and dreams, and they want to make some new games after spending years on Brotato.
However, they didn’t want to leave the game in the dust, and we’re huge Brotato fans, so we proposed to keep it going!
This way you get more cool stuff to play with from us, while Blobfish Games gets to experiment in their game laboratory to bring you even more cool new stuff in the future. Everyone’s happy.
We have tons of our own ideas for the future of the game, plus we’ve already spoken with some community members, and the first small update will arrive in late October. But, what we’ve learned is that the best content comes when we work with as many players as possible to collect ideas and to fine-tune our own.”
Brotato is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, iOS, and Android.
