Spellbreak Rolls Out ‘Spellstorm’ Update Featuring New Story-Driven Missions

Spellbreak updates that will expound on the game’s lore over a 12-week period through story-driven missions. Chapter 1: The Spellstorm marks the game’s launch on Steam and sheds light on the history of the Hollow Lands and the origins of the magical storm surrounding the island.

“The area now known as the Hollow Lands was once a peaceful and prosperous part of Velnor called the Highlands. Home to the Five Hand Alliance, five kingdoms ed together, pledging to protect and defend one another for the good of their people. But such unity came at a cost.”

The update also introduces the new Deoss region, a fully-developed area in the southeasternmost part of the map. “It is unique in of the biomes, given its ominous and gloomy theme and how that affects combat options within Spellbreak,” wrote Executive Producer Cardell Kerr in his latest Producer’s Letter. “Additionally, with the lighting it has an air of mystery that is both enticing and a bit frightening, likely depending on how much health you have…”

“Chapter One is our most ambitious feature to date, in that it finally delivers on the RPG portion of our BR RPG goal with Spellbreak,” added Kerr. “In it, we introduce new characters, explain backstory, and set the tone for an evolving storyline that will impact the Hollow Lands on a far reaching scale, including pushing our verticality more, and adding massive points of interest for Breakers to explore and test their prowess around.” He also said that Chapters will be the way that the developers will be introducing new characters into the game.

Kerr also promised a hotfix later this week that will introduce improvements to the game’s matchmaking system. Once the hotfix rolls out, matchmaking will happen before players even load into the game. This should make matchmaking faster and more seamless and provide a better overall experience. Latency will also be addressed to allow players to play in more active regions during off-peak hours without having to worry about a high ping.

Chapter 1: Spellstorm also comes with a brand new trailer which you’ll find just down below.
