Warrior Artwork and Character Design Changes
One consistent piece of feedback we heard from gamers who checked out Breakaway was that the artwork and character design for our warriors werent quite hitting the mark yet. Our aspiration is to create awesome, powerful, diverse and memorable characters that will appeal to all sorts of gamers, and we werent yet satisfied with our starting lineup of warriors we had when we announced Breakaway back in September.
So weve unleashed the creativity of our artists and designers to reimagine our original characters. Some have changed quite radically (even their names!), and some have just been pushed into more unique and interesting territory. In the spirit of building Breakaway transparently with the communitys feedback, were introducing six of our updated warriors that are ready for the June 15th alpha weekend. Were still working on updates to the remaining original warriors, and youll hear about them soon.
Here are the six updated warriors that youll see this weekend:

What was the original intention behind the redesign of the warriors in terms of their art direction? I personally wasn't involved in the tech alpha, but hearing some of the previous warrior names (Morgen/Korryn for example) I like the old names better. Was the resdesign due to player feedback or more so a decision on the part of the art directors?
Regarding the warrior redesign, the original premise of the game was "Warriors of Myth and Legend", which brought together historical and mythical characters to fight in an arena. We heard clear feedback that players found these characters uninteresting and resembled characters they'd seen in other games. We wanted to give players an experience with Breakaway that was unique and memorable, so we pivoted to our new theme, which we call "Ascend to Immortality". Look for more backstory and content along those lines in the weeks ahead
will we have to wait as long as we did for the june alpha?
- Nope! We're planning to have weekend playtests more or less every weekend until we go 24/7 (there may be exceptions, but our current plan is every weekend).
- Nope! With the June Alpha test, we're moving into weekly tests, so make sure your clear up those summer plans and save yourself having to purchase all that sun screen!
