Breachway News Roundup
The roadmap to launch for Breachway was revealed about a month ago and details the remaining steps and stages of the game before 1.0. The game will be receiving regular weekly balance patches and bug fixes, with major updates coming every few months. This schedule will help the game to be developed towards 1.0 while retaining balance and player experience. These patches and updates will continue to be driven by real data, player experiences, and feedback.
Patch #33 is the most recent major update to come out for Breachway and is the biggest Breachway update this year, and was beta tested by volunteer players. This update brings controller support, a highly anticipated and requested feature; now you can enjoy Breachway with your favorite gamepad. This patch also includes a pulse and light laser redesign, faster meta progression, changes to equipment destruction, and combat value previews.
Breachway has also been receiving weekly bug and balance patches. Let's take a quick look at these updates.
- Balance Patch #3 focuses on balancing sector 2 bosses, nerfing certain enemies, and bug fixes.
- Balance Patch #4 sees a handful of flak subsystems return, cuts the credit cost of upgrading cards in half, and compresses fights to make them quicker and more threatening.
- Balance Patch #5 focuses on ship impact reactions, making combat more challenging and dynamic. This patch also brings balance changes and bug fixes.
- Balance Patch #6 is the most recent balance patch to come to Breachway and adds a fast combat mode. This allows you to speed up combat to twice as fast, giving players a great QoL option.
