Two new Brok releases hit Xbox and PC – action mode and a festive prequel

Table of Content

CowCat Games expands the universe of Brok the InvestiGator with two distinct releases built for different moods. Brok: The Brawl Bar focuses on rapid-fire combat trials, while Brok: Natal Tail, A New Christmas Special delivers a narrative prequel set during the holidays. Both titles stand alone, making them accessible to newcomers as well as returning players. Xbox Play Anywhere support covers Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Regional pricing may vary.

Brok: The Brawl Bar – short-form combat trials with co-op and creation tools

The Brawl Bar retools Brok’s brawling into compact, creative challenges that change conditions and objectives from one round to the next. It is designed to reward mastery and experimentation, whether played solo or in co-op.

• Challenge-driven structure: fast encounters with varied objectives and modifiers to avoid repetition.
• Solo or co-op: tackle fights alone or with a friend.
• C-Tokens: earn a new currency to assist in later bouts, unlock extras, or access mini-games.
• Daily Challenges: rotating goals for long-term replayability.
• Creator Mode: build and share custom challenge setups.
• Standalone entry point: no prior knowledge required; it also expands Brok’s world through new encounters and characters.

“I wanted to improve on the combat from the original game … there are so many repetitive beat ’em ups on the market and I really wanted a fresh formula which would never get stale.”

Brok: Natal Tail – a console-special Christmas prequel with added scenes

Natal Tail shifts gears to a standalone visual novel, following Brok, Graff and Ott through a seasonal mystery. Choices, light humor and a few twists center the characters rather than combat. This release, prepared for consoles, adds new dialogue options and expanded scenes, and it functions as a prequel for series chronology.

“Brok: Natal Tail … was originally made as a gift to my fans, bringing a heartfelt story set during the holidays.”

For players curious about the setting but not the brawling, this offers a focused story route – a complementary counterpoint to The Brawl Bar’s action loop.
