Moonbreaker News

Hello Moonbreakers!

We are so excited to share that Moonbreaker will leave Early Access on February 1st as we release the v1.0 version.

To celebrate, we are hosting a special livestream event at 10:30am PST Thursday February 1st. We will run you through our brand new mode - Boss Run - alongside an awesome painting session and PvP game with devs. You can watch it right here on Steam.

Moonbreaker has come a long way and it wouldn't be the game it is today without all your incredible input - Thank you from bottom of our hearts! We can't wait to hear what you think of v1.0.

See you on February 1st in The Reaches.

We’re excited to announce that the Moonbreaker Original Soundtrack is available now!

Featuring 23 tracks composed by Steve Pardo, the Moonbreaker soundtrack brings The Reaches to life over one hour and 13 minutes. It is available to purchase ($9.99 USD) on Steam and stream on most music services.

And, as a huge thank you to all of our Early Access supporters, if you purchase Moonbreaker prior to the 1.0 launch (coming in early 2024), you will automatically receive the soundtrack as a gift!



If you already own Moonbreaker, the soundtrack should be available in the soundtracks section of your Steam Library, as well as under additional content on the Moonbreaker library page.



Should the soundtrack not be available in either of those places, head over to the soundtrack listing on the Steam Store, and click the “Play Now” button.



It should then show up as normal in your Steam Library.

We’ll see you in The Reaches,
Moonbreaker Team.

We just released a Moonbreaker hotfix! 🔥

The hotfix resolves an issue where the game defaulted to the lowest graphics setting for new players.
Existing players will need to restart the game to update to the latest version and manually change their graphics settings.

You can find the specific option by:

1. Pressing ESC to bring up the menu
   
2. Choosing Options
   
3. Clicking the Graphics tab to find the Quality setting
   

If your Quality setting is on Medium, you can switch to a higher preset setting (like Ultra or High) from there.

Take on the challenge of Ranked Mode and battle against the best-of-the-best as you climb your way to the top.

Each match will contribute to your Rank, and you’ll need to keep facing off against challengers to improve it over time.

[h2]Pretty as a Picture[/h2]
Moonbreaker has never looked so good, with several visual improvements making it into the latest update.



Unit Outlines have been added to make it easier to see your Crew around cover, Volumetric Fog has been introduced for more visual depth, and Line of Sight has been improved to make it easier to see when and where your Crew can attack.

These gameplay readability improvements, including improvements to contrast between maps and Units, should make your entire Moonbreaker experience much smoother.
