Press release:
CHICAGO, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2026 – Stellar Jockeys has announced that Brigador Killers, the long-awaited continuation of the cult-classic Brigador saga, will launch in Early Access on August 20, 2026 via Steam and GOG. The release date was revealed today during the Convergence Showcase, alongside a new trailer offering players another look at the game’s explosive, boots-on-the-ground insurgency.

Set on the world of Mar Nosso, Brigador Killers casts players as part of Team Anchor, an insurgent crew operating behind enemy lines to dismantle entrenched corporate power. Building on the tactical destruction and overwhelming firepower that defined Brigador: Up-Armored Edition, Brigador Killers expands the series with on-foot combat, vehicle warfare, private arsenal-building, base development, and a more flexible mission structure.

The Early Access launch follows an enthusiastic response to the Brigador Killers demo on Steam, which currently has a 93% rating with over 400 reviews. The demo gives players an early taste of the game’s violent, tactical sandbox, with missions that let them fight on foot, steal and salvage vehicles, build out their arsenal, and take the war directly to the corporate forces occupying Mar Nosso.

Brigador Killers also features an original soundtrack from Makeup and Vanity Set, returning to the world of Brigador with a new score built around the series’ heavy industrial atmosphere, synth-driven tension, and grimy science-fiction violence. The soundtrack helps anchor Brigador Killers’ world of corporate warfare, insurgency, and mechanical destruction, giving every firefight, getaway, and wreckage-strewn mission the same unmistakable pulse that helped define the original game.

“Years in the making, but the fun part is only just beginning. We can’t wait to build out Brigador Killers together with our players,” said Hugh Monahan, co-founder and designer at Stellar Jockeys.

Brigador Killers is available to wishlist now on Steam, with Early Access launching on August 20, 2026 via Steam and GOG. Players can find the latest information, trailer, demo details, and storefront links through the official Brigador and Stellar Jockeys channels.
