From Press Release:
Bordeaux, France (Feb. 11, 2026) – Evil Empire is continuing their master plan for Brotato’s greatness with a brand-new free content update, Paws & Claws, available today for PC players on Steam and the Epic Games Store (mobile and consoles to follow). As its name suggests, this update brings all manner of creatures fuzzy and ferocious to the game, along with a new character and more additional content perfect for bringing the hurt against hordes of aliens. Brotato is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, mobile devices (Android & iOS), and PC (https://store.steampowered.

v=Lv9Kcx8HM8M The Paws & Claws update takes the age-old question of “what would the greatest warriors potato kind has ever known keep as pets,” and answers with adorable companions and gratuitous firepower. Today’s update introduces a new class of items: Pets. There are nine to discover in all (for the time being), each geared toward different types of builds, from the adorable Bonk Dog that charges enemies, smacking them down with melee damage, to the Catling Gun, which peppers aliens with bullets and fires faster if the player is nearby. Other pets are more function-focused than combat, like the Lootworm that collects materials and destroys trees for the player, or the Scapegoat, which moves around the map and distracts enemies.
To handle all of these new creatures is a brand-new character added for free: the Beast Master. Pets are meant to work best with specific builds, but why not have one character to rule them all? The Beast Master’s entire playstyle revolves around collecting as many pets as possible and setting them loose on the battlefield. Starting with a Lootworm, the Beast Master will be able to choose a damaging Pet amongst Dog, Cat, Bot and Blazemander, and gets a speed bonus for every permanent pet they have and additional damage scaling to pets. The downside? Beast Masters can’t wield any weapons, and they have to pump their pets up with as many buffs as possible to fight off ever-increasing waves of aliens.
Along with this new content, Evil Empire has also thrown some additional quality of life changes and updates to Brotato’s codex. Fans can look for more great updates this year for Brotato as Evil Empire has partnered with original creator and developer Blobfish to create exciting new content for the roguelite fans know and love.
