Brigador Killers was released on 20 Aug, 2026.
Players can cause destruction across numerous levels both on foot and in a vehicle. Combat is with both hostile NPCs and vehicles, though both hostile and non-hostile human-scale characters can be attacked and subsequently gibbed by the player, leaving blood spats. In-game text entries may not be fit for those under the age of 16, as some contain descriptions of violent acts, crude humor and horror.
