Spellbreak developer Proletariat just announced new details about a major upcoming update for the game, Chapter 2: The Fracture.
There’s a ton of new stuff coming in the update. First off, there are more story quests and rewards. Chapter 2 offers twelve weeks of free, story-driven quests that build off Chapter 1: The Spellstorm. Expect unique NPCs, in-game missions, and a slew of new cosmetic items.
Dominion Mode
Next up, Proletariat is introducing Dominion Mode. Here’s how they describe it:
Intense 5 vs. 5 matches where teams compete for dominance over three control zones, with points accrued on the total zones controlled and enemies exiled. NPCs that drop helpful items and scrolls are peppered throughout the map, and players can trade Boons to a potentially shady merchant for better and more powerful gear.
Leagues
Built on Dominion Mode are Leagues. This takes Spellbreak competition to new levels with ranked matches and progression tiers, “complete with exclusive rewards for successful and skillful play.”
Release Date
The new update goes live on April 8, 2021. Spellbreak launched last year on PC via Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. The game is free to play.
