Indie studio Proletariat has announced that its fantasy battle royale game Spellbreak will receive its first seasonal content update on 22nd October.
This is the first major update for the title and will introduce Clash Mode – offering a new way to play via team deathmatch – as well as new talents, potions, and cosmetics. Just like the game itself, it'll be completely free on all platforms, and includes all of the following:
- New Content — Prologue: The Gathering Storm will be free to all players and feature weekly quests with unique rewards
- Introducing Clash Mode — 9v9 team deathmatch with 3 squads on each team
- New Talents — Enable players to further customize their playstyle
- Vigor: Bonus health
- Ambidextrous: Enables the passive class ability in your offhand gauntlet
- Foresight: Reveals nearby players on your minimap and shows future shrines/circles
- Halloween Content — New Outfits, Artifacts, Cloudbursts, Afterglows, Emotes, and Badges! Just in time for “Hollowed Eve!”
Proletariat CEO, Seth Sivak, says:
"After an incredible launch, Spellbreak now has millions of players around the world. This update represents the beginning of our plan to deliver robust content that offers new ways to experience Spellbreak’s unique combat and gives players a first taste of how we plan to deliver ongoing story content."
If you haven't tried Spellbreak yet, feel free to read through our full review. We enjoyed its magical combat and solid progression system, but felt that it still left a little something to be desired.

Fortnites more fun
This is a pretty fun take on the Battle Royal genre. Flying around zapping/burning/freezing things feels great. I just wish I weren't already so burnt out from Fortnite, or I'd have more of an appetite to jump in and play more.
Nice. Cant wait
This is my favourite battle royal by FAR.
Love it and can’t wait for the new content!!!
That ambidextrous and map talents seem pretty overpowered though! Wonder how much they will cost?!?! I’m thinking they have to be at least 4 or even 5 points????
If you haven’t tried this game, whether you are a battle royal fan/newbie/etc, TRY IT!
Oh sweet! I love Spellbreak but haven’t played it in a bit because I felt like there wasn’t really any goal to work towards and got bored of just solos and squads, good to hear the storyline, Halloween event, and team battle mode is launching!
@KnightsTemplar This article isn't about Fortnite, or whether or not you prefer other games to Spellbreak
I didn't comment "Tetris is more fun" on articles about Mario 35
Well deserved, and finally I have a way of spending money in it (I find the item shop extremely underwhelming currently)
I have enjoyed this game, but I’m worried it’s dying prematurely. Supposedly, there are “millions” playing right now, but the last two times I played, I struggled to find a game with more than twenty or so players. I hope I was just playing during a downtime because I’ve liked this spin on the genre.
Are there gyro controls yet?
I have so much fun with this game! Its refreshing.
I didnt like fortnite deleted it after the first day.
But this game stays ln my switch.
@Cr4shMyCar Exactly what I wanted to write here.
Ok, but sometimes it's not possible to find players on Switch.
I've only been able to play on popular hours.
@LilMuku and yet you commented back to my post... gotcha... fortnite fortnite fortnite
@KnightsTemplar what
@MPWolfie Gyro for Nintendo switch is coming with this next update
@Solomon_Rambling I have no idea if this is the issue, but I’m in Canada and ran into a few Australian players that said they’ve been switching to the North American severs to find bigger games. Maybe that could help you? I’m never in a less than full game... and I play a lot.
@TimboSlice
I have been playing on the North American servers, so I wonder what’s the problem on my end. It seems @RodSD64 is also experiencing the same issues.
I’ll probably pick it up again this weekend and hope for the best!
@Solomon_Rambling
I have the server set to "AUTO", but I can only find players if I'm playing in squad mode, and at popular hours.
