Glassbreakers: Champions of Moss News

[p]Hello, my name is Chris, the Design Director for Glassbreakers, and I’m thrilled to reveal the first unannounced hero coming to the game—Sahima![/p][p][/p][h3]Who is Sahima?[/h3][p]For players of Moss: Book II, Sahima needs no introduction. A nomadic lone wolf who has walked a solitary path for many years, Sahima has a troubled history with the Readers. But when the call came, she couldn’t turn away. A skilled and disciplined fighter, Sahima uses her chakram to strike down foes from a distance, ensuring that no enemy is safe from her reach.[/p][p][/p][h3]From Moss: Book II to Glassbreakers[/h3][p]When players first encountered Sahima in Moss: Book II, she brought a unique ranged experience to the game, switching up how players thought about combat encounters. Her chakram, capable of bouncing off multiple enemies at once, made it incredibly satisfying to take down multiple foes in one fluid motion. Her fighting style already being defined made the transition from Moss: Book II to Glassbreakers seamless.[/p][p]In Glassbreakers, Sahima’s chakram-based basic attack gives her the ability to hit multiple Champions at once, forcing your opponent to consider their team’s positioning. The charged up chakram ricochets between enemies, punishing pairs of isolated Champions to devastating effect.[/p][p][/p][h3]Playing With Sahima[/h3][p]Sahima is a high-risk, high-reward hero who thrives with aggressive play where her bouncing chakram can maximize damage. She’s a damage dealer who really shines when the fight is the most intense. She excels at ambushing a pair of Champions, turning a 2v1 into a decisive victory. But she’s fragile—if caught alone, she won’t last long. Protecting and setting her up for success is critical to get the most out of her kit. She’s the perfect pick if you are the type of player that wants to apply relentless pressure to your opponent.[/p][p]If you’re facing Sahima on the battlefield, the name of the game is positioning. Forcing her into situations where she is unable to take advantage of her chakram’s bounces dramatically reduces her damage output. Worse, a carefully maneuvered stun can quickly remove her from the fight. [/p][p]Whether you love fast, aggressive gameplay or tactical positioning, Sahima is the perfect addition to your team composition, and she brings new depth to every fight.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]As always, let us know what you think! We love hearing your feedback and analysis “crunch” of how each hero will fit into your chosen team comp, so sound off in the Polyarc Discord. We can't wait to see what you have to say![/p][p][/p][p]Join the Discord

[p]Snuggle up, Squad, and welcome to the first Steam Glassbreakers developer blog of 2025! We know that you have been waiting for an update from us, and we are excited to finally share more with you. So grab your beverage of choice and settle in, because today marks the beginning of fresh details about Glassbreakers.[/p][p][/p][p]We know what you’re thinking: “Where have you been? We’ve been waiting for an update on Glassbreakers since Open Beta.”[/p][p][/p][p]As many of you know, Polyarc is a small and growing, but independent studio of around 40 people. Over the last year, we’ve been busy. For instance, in late 2024, we delivered a Quest 3S and 3 update for Moss fans, bringing the visuals in line with other platforms, adding a combat skip feature to address player feedback and appeal to more cozy gamers in VR, and fixing a few small bugs. But behind the scenes, we never stopped working on Glassbreakers.[/p][p][/p][p]At the end of the Open Beta period in January 2024, we had amassed quite a bit of feedback from players and partners about what you’d like to see when Glassbreakers made its eventual return. Two things became clear:[/p]

• [p]As a small studio, free-to-play was difficult to sustain. If you’ve played a F2P title, you know that they survive off of constant content drops, such as cosmetics and new heroes. For a small team working on multiple projects, this can be a challenge, and we didn’t want a bad experience for our players. Which leads us to…,[/p]
• [p]We recognized that many players are feeling fatigued with the F2P model. Games can feel unfinished and endless battle pass grinds don’t always feel rewarding or interesting. More and more, we see players asking for games that have meaningful progression systems.[/p]

[p]With these two things in mind, we made the decision to take Glassbreakers offline so we could do the work necessary to make changes that we felt better aligned with our vision.[/p][p][/p][p]So with all of that said, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Glassbreakers, and we are thrilled to announce that we have begun sharing sneak-peeks and new information in the Polyarc Discord server. In fact, we are going live next Wednesday, June 25th, at 3PM Pacific, in the Polyarc Discord server to chat with Polyarc Creator LiveOpenMike about Glassbreakers development and answer your questions.[/p][p][/p][p]Convert to Your Local Time and Date Join the Discord Server[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As we embark on this part of the Glassbreakers journey together, we are grateful for your patience, passion, and dedication. Your comments, art, videos, and enthusiasm certainly has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. As always, we can’t wait to see what you think about what we’ve been working on through our Town Halls over the coming months, so make sure you head over to the Polyarc Discord so you don’t miss a single beat.[/p][p][/p][p]Join the Polyarc Discord[/p]
