Major Demo update + balance patch #1 — Breachway News

Hey everyone, time for the weekly balance patch

Hey everyone,

We have the first demo update since the beginning of 2025, and boy, have a lot of things changed since then! If you've been thinking about trying Breachway's demo, now's the perfect time to do it.

We've also started some long-overdue balance changes, kicking off a new balance patch series with the aim of releasing one balance patch per week until we've smoothed out the game's difficulty curve.

For starters: Sector 1 is a wall new players keep hitting and bouncing off of, while Sector 2 is much easier by comparison — Sector 2 bosses rarely pose a challenge. To that end, we've started by nerfing some Sector 1 bosses and elites, and buffing Sector 2 bosses. The aim is to gradually bring the difficulty curve to a healthy shape, instead of overcorrecting and going back and forth.

We've also started looking at bringing the player ships closer together in terms of power level. We haven't made a lot of changes yet, but that'll be a big part of this balance pass.
