In-game event4 Sep 2026Balance Patch #8 - Equipment Merging, Card Highlighting, Balance ChangesHey everyone, time for the.... second weekly update this week. We will be away most of next week, so we have a double-feature this week. The headline this week is really exciting, a brand-new hangar feature: equipment combining (shoutout to our Discord member Unisus for the initial suggestion). On the balance side we've tweaked some enemy values to smoothen the difficulty curve, and there's a b…
Hey everyone, time for another balance patch. We were away last week, right after a major update. So naturally we came back to quite a collection of bugs waiting for us. This patch clears most of those out (there are still some left that we're looking into), alongside some small card balance changes. Unfortunately, some of the bug-fixes and additions required addressable changes, so this update…
It's been an exciting couple of months for Breachway with a wealth of patches focusing on balance, gameplay improvements, and player feedback, and a brand new roadmap reveal that will carry the game to 1.0. In case you have missed any of this news, let's round it all up below. Breachway is also part of the Hooded Horse August Publisher Sale at 50% off. Check it out, and check out the other game…

Fixed a possible tutorial soft-lock on using a controller in the third tutorial panel · Fixed some navigation issues when using a controller in the settings menu · Improved Dpad navigation in the ship status screen on the map and in the hangar
Hey everyone, The Commander Update is now live on the main branch! This is our biggest update this year, and I'd like to thank everyone that helped test it on the Pre-deploy and experimental branches, reported bugs, and helped us polish it for today. Please note that this update includes a run reset. The changes to equipment, cards, and run data mean old saves aren't compatible. Any run in prog…
Hey everyone, As outlined in our roadmap (which you can read here ), August is when the Commander Update launches. This is a large update with a lot of new additions, so we expect it to sit on the experimental branch for 1-2 weeks before we roll it out on the main branch. How to access the experimental branch. Please note: switching to the experimental branch means losing your current run, and…
Hey everyone, the weekly balance patch is back! (We said we would skip this week, but never mind, we have a cool new addition) Fast Mode The headline this week: we've added a fast mode option to the settings menu. Turning it on makes all combat actions play out twice as fast, so there's less waiting around for the graphics when you already know what's coming. Our analytics (and your reviews) ha…
Hey everyone, quick technical update aimed squarely at the stuttering some of you reported after the last patch. No content or balance changes in this one, just performance and stability work. Engine rollback Several of you told us the game started stuttering after the hit reactions update, high FPS on the counter, but the game feeling choppy. While investigating, we traced the most likely culp…
Adjusted ship mass levels, and improved ship rotation/torque on missile impact · Fixed a bug with the Marauder where it didn't display the pirate base in the first map if you started the run with a Bruiser flak Apologies for the large file size, I'm looking into reducing that for smaller builds that only touch a couple of parts in the game
HI everyone, besides the usual bug-fixes and balance changes, we've got something really cool that will make combat look more dynamic: Hit impacts! Enemies will now get shoved off course by hits from physical projectiles (Flak and especially Missiles, Railguns less so, as they just pass clean through the ship), and slowly return to their original trajectory with the help of their maneuvering th…
Hey everyone, time for the weekly balance patch. As mentioned in las week's post, this update comes with a run reset. We've got two quality-of-life improvements this week. First, we've cut the credit cost of upgrading cards in half, upgrading individual cards is one of the best parts of building out your ship, and the old prices turned it more into a luxury instead of a real decision. Second, a…
Hey everyone, time for the weekly balance patch. This week we're working on the difficulty curve from the other side: the Sector 2 bosses. As covered in the previous posts, Sector 1 currently kills far more runs than Sector 2, so alongside the earlier Sector 1 nerfs, all four Sector 2 bosses are getting some extra teeth, mostly by shortening the downtime between their signature attacks, so ther…
Hey everyone, this is a different kind of post. No patch notes today: this is our development roadmap from here to 1.0, and a bit of an explanation of how we're changing the way Breachway gets updated. Up to now we've been shipping medium-sized patches that each touched a bit of everything. That kept the game moving, but it made it hard to see where it's all going, for you and honestly for us a…
Hey everyone, time for the weekly balance patch. For this one, we've focused on reducing the difficulty of some Sector 1 encounters. Some Sector 1 elites actually had higher kill rates than Sector 1 bosses, even though Sector 1 bosses already kill players at 2-4x the rate of Sector 2 bosses. Sector 1 is still a big wall most players repeatedly get blocked by, so lowering its difficulty is the t…
Hey everyone We've optimized the turn end performance, as a good amount of our players mentioned they experienced low framerates in between turns. Since this affects so many of you, we wanted to ship this fix as soon as possible, even though its outside the weekly cadence we mentioned in our previous post. There's also some other small fixes bundled in. Changelog: · Improved graphical performan…

Here's a preview of ev…
Hey everyone time for yet another update on the experimental branch , focused on improving map performance, and bringing the game's random number generation up to the same standard as other similar games in the genre (a seeded random, instead of re-rolling a random number every time). Change log: · Waypoint events and stations are now faster to load, reducing or eliminating the hiccups experien…
Hey everyone time for another update on the experimental branch , with a Brittle balance change, Individual card upgrades, and a healthy round of bug fixes (including a nasty elite soft-lock). Let's get into it. Individual card upgrades This is a big one: you can now upgrade cards individually on your Mk.II equipment. Instead of having to remove and redraft upgraded version of cards, you pick w…
Hey everyone, it's time for another build! This one's big, so we're releasing it on the experimental branch first. The memory leak This is one we've been looking forward to posting for months: this patch finally includes the memory leak fix we've been working on since the end of last year. Once we started digging in, we uncovered a lot of cascading issues, which led us to revamp the entire Addr…

Detected another issue shortly related to the store softlock issue after the last hotfix went live, this one required a rebuild of the addressables, so my apologies for the larger download size The following cards were also fixed: · Fixed the cooldown increase from Shield Strain · Fixed Thermal recycler to properly get removed from your deck · Fixed text on Shield Stream, to reflect the fact th…
