Evaluation

Jackal launched on February 5, 2026, developed by Michał Marcinkowski. On September 4, 2026 — today — the developer shipped the 1.0 update, explicitly declaring "Jackal is officially 1.0." This update added 52 Steam achievements along with gameplay fixes and polish. The developer framed this as the milestone release, celebrating it with a 40% launch discount. The game's post-launch history consists of a feature patch on February 13, 2026 (adding Extreme difficulty and localization improvements) and the 1.0 achievement update. The only DLC on the store is the soundtrack, which released on February 13, 2026. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no indication from the developer of planned expansions or additional content beyond this 1.0 release. The developer's explicit "officially 1.0" declaration marks this as a complete product.

About this game

You're a coked-up force of nature loose in Sin City's underbelly.

No stealth. No hiding. Just a superhuman wrecking ball obliterating entire crime families. Loot their vaults. Claim their dames.

The mob built Vegas. You'll rip it apart.

From sofas to shotguns - everything is lethal

Become a coked-up John Wick who can turn Vegas into a stage for improvised carnage.

Every finisher a brushstroke. Every room a spectacle of carnage.

Faster than thought. Stronger than any wiseguy with a gun. Reloading just slows you down.

Become unstoppable. Unkillable. Undisputed.

No two massacres are alike

Each raid is different with:

unlockable drug superpowers
randomly generated rooms
stackable gameplay mutators
an arsenal of brutal finishers
variety of enemy types
iconic Las Vegas locations
iconic 70s weapons
weaponized items fueling endless creative violence

Goodfellas on mescaline. When gangster classics take acid

Go back to a time of smoke-choked rooms, acid-laced jazz, and when immorality was still in style.

Immerse in a psychedelic noir story where a hitman and his supernatural associate navigate a 1970s mob filled Vegas where every housecleaning job bleeds into the next and reality's just another bad trip.

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

With the voice of Matthew Curtis ('I Am Your Beast')

Created by Michał Marcinkowski ('Soldat', 'Maniac', 'Butcher')
Inspired by 'Hotline Miami', 'OTXO', 'I Am Your Beast', 'John Wick', 'Pulp Fiction', 'Fear and Loathing In Vegas', 'Goodfellas', 'Cowboy Bebop'
