BREAK ARTS III will be released on August 8, 2025!

We've received a lot of feedback from players since we released our demo for the Steam Next Fest back in February, and we've been working hard to reflect that feedback to brush up the game, from mech customization to every other game feature. We hope you'll look forward to the full release!



What's more, we'll be showcasing BREAK ARTS III at PAX East, the game event to be held at Boston from May 8 to May 11, 2025! We'll be giving out free clear files to those who stop by the PLAYISM booth, so please pay us a visit!

Hello, artists!

I'm MercuryStudio, a solo developer from Japan.

I'm very thankful that so many people has played the demo of BREAK ARTS III!

To celebrate over 20,000 players downloading the demo, I've decided to add more game features in this update!

You can now acquire a new machine to unlock the ability to use Override, which is a sort of super move that you can activate after 90 seconds have passed in a match. Once you activate Override, you'll become invincible for a while and be freed from energy and heat limitations.

You'll need to design your machine around this ability to use it to its fullest, though, so it might be a little tricky!

The score attack rankings will be reset at 9:00 AM March 1, 2025 (JST) / 4:00 PM February 28, 2025 (PST). Now you can try to get a high score with the newly added features!

I'm currently working very hard on development, so please be patient until full release. If you're absolutely dying to learn every tidbit and what will be added in the full release, please come take a look at my FANBOX profile!
