What is Brotato Primal Dread?

Brotato Primal Dread is the second paid DLC for Blobfish Games' bullet-heaven roguelite Brotato, developed together with Evil Empire and released on November 2, 2026 for $3.99. It requires the base game and drops your six-armed spud into a hostile prehistoric jungle crawling with mutated and cyber-enhanced predators.

The DLC packs 10 new characters, 17 new weapons, 40 new items, and a dedicated jungle map with 20 waves of fresh enemies, elites, and bosses. Its defining Evolution stat splits every run into two routes — push positive to mechanize your weapons, or negative to mutate your items — while the dinosaurs around you evolve in step.
