BREAK ARTS III has finally launched!
To celebrate the release, we’re holding a two week limited-time launch sale. During this period, both the base game and the original soundtrack featuring 9 tracks from the game will be available at 10% off! In addition, a special bundle that includes both the game and soundtrack will receive an extra additional 5% discount. Don’t miss this chance to enjoy not only the game itself but also the music that brings it to life.
On Steam News, we’re also running a series of guide articles that go beyond introducing the basics of the game, offering deeper insights such as advanced techniques for mecha customization. These guides will continue to be updated regularly, so be sure to check back for the latest tips and strategies.
We’re also excited to announce a Mecha Customization Contest honoring player creativity!
The most outstanding entries will be featured on the official PLAYISM website, Steam News, and in a special livestream hosted by mecha-loving VTuber Kisa. Plus participants will receive in-game items that can’t be obtained anywhere else. Show off your best mecha or diorama creation!
We have identified the following issue occurring in Multiplayer PvP sessions:
If either the host or guest disconnects during the sortie sequence, the remaining player will be stuck on the loading screen and unable to proceed.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to our players.
We are currently investigating the cause and working on a fix, which will be addressed in a future update once the issue has been fixed.
