Bohemia Interactive, through its Incubator publishing label, and indie studio Place of Departure are excited to announce that the Steam page for Brute Horse is now live, featuring brand-new details about the game along with an exciting new story trailer. This marks the first opportunity for players to witness the absurd, action-packed world of South Vulgaria ahead of the game’s release.
Watch the story trailer here.
Following its reveal at Gamescom 2024, Brute Horse has captured the attention with its unique art style and an unhinged narrative potential. Furthermore, selected journalists who had the opportunity of behind-the-doors hands-on gameplay were amazed by its blend of narrative-driven action platforming, couch co-op gameplay, and a world where logic is merely a suggestion.
In the strange and hostile land of South Vulgaria, players will take control of Brute, a fearless barbarian; Horse, his loyal steed; and Michelle, an assassin-inventor. Their mission? Find the Legendary Veterinarian and prevent Horse from meeting an untimely fate.
Key Features of Brute Horse:
- Couch Co-Op Gameplay: Team up with a friend and utilize Brute and Michelle’s distinct skills to solve puzzles, brawl through enemies, and navigate perilous landscapes.
- A Truly One-of-a-Kind World: South Vulgaria’s lore follows a simple principle—take something ridiculous and give it just enough logic to make it (almost) believable.
- Eccentric Characters: Encounter a wild and weird cast of allies and enemies, each with their own motivations, quirks, and questionable life choices.
- Cartoon-Inspired Visuals: An art style blending elements of classic animation, fantasy action figures, and exaggerated absurdity.
- A Story That Defies Expectations: While there’s still more to be seen, the trailer will most certainly give you an idea of what is to come once the game is fully released.

Our story began with our first game, Arma: Cold War Assault, which was released in 2001. Developed by just a handful of people, this PC-exclusive title became a massive success. It sold well over a million copies, received numerous industry awards, and was praised by critics and players alike. Since then, we've grown from a ragtag bunch of garage devs to an international family of over 350 professionals – working on Arma 3, DayZ, Ylands, Vigor, the Enfusion engine, and various other projects. Our ambition: to make games that act as platforms for people to explore, create, and connect.
