Hey everyone, Daniel here. Update 4 is out.
I want to walk you through everything that's in it - because there's a lot, and I don't want any of it to get buried in a patch note scroll
New zone, new boss, new enemies. VOIDWEAVER is the new boss and I'm really happy with how this fight turned out - Joe's music for it is something else. Wait until you hear it. 💪
Two new enemies join the roster: Ironclad and Voidout. Both introduce fresh challenges that’ll force you to rethink your approach, especially deeper into runs.. There's also a new enemy variant - Voltaic. These enemies can deploy EMPs that disable parts of your kit, forcing you to adapt on the fly and making them some of the most dangerous hostiles you’ll face. Yes, looking at you Frozen Rangers.
This one's been a long time coming. The sniper opens up a completely different way to play, and there are 4 new weapon chassis to unlock alongside it. If you've been running the same core setup for a while, this is your excuse to shake things up.
(And by the way, this is my favourite weapon so far!)
All weapons now have their own tailored fire mode mods with different stats for each. This has generally given a buff to all fire mode mods and increased build diversity. Single-fire mode can now genuinely turn your automatic weapons into powerful rifles. Likewise, burst fire modes can turn your SMG into a force to be reckoned with. I’ve had a lot of fun experimenting with these changes, and I hope you do too.
You asked for more Fragmented Zones - they're in. One of them contains a new schematic worth hunting down. Keep the feedback coming on Discord, it genuinely shapes where this goes next.
Another new anomaly is in. I'll let you discover that one yourself.
This one is a hot topic, and I have seen it frequently pop up in the community discussion. The boss pillars (used to obtain destruction chunks) had a core issue, they took your attention away from the boss itself. In a fight where avoiding attacks is so important, this created an understandable frustration. Now, boss attacks themselves will release tetherable debris. This has streamlined the boss fight experience, keeping your focus on the fight whilst preserving what made it work before.
Additionally, tetherable debris have received additional visibility improvements, and are generally much easier to spot, tether and hurl back at the boss.
Added tutorial sections to more clearly introduce some gameplay mechanics
Altered staggering tutorial so it now requires you to acquire full health, more clearly highlighting the combat loop to new players
Added section that shows the slight staggering ability of the grenade
Added section that requires you to dash through a wall of projectiles, showing i-frame capability of the dash.
Improved wall run detection and responsiveness
FORTIST will now destroy its summons on death
BLOCKMAW's laser attack has been made more readable
Zone 1 elevator shaft received some visual improvements
"Body mod" renamed to "Passive mod" across all instances
Improved responsiveness when firing at low frame rates
Improved responsiveness when firing single-fire weapons
Broadcast system voice received some additional lines for act 2
Various low level optimisations
Skirmisher mod reverted to default spawn rate values
Enemy armour health reduced
Mini-boss summons are no longer farmable for credits (sorry!)
Increased elite enemy presence on normal difficulty
Fixed bug where run start number indicator would block click inputs
Fix for Jump Stack exploit
Fix for POI in zone 1 where a schematic was unreachable without the grapple unlocked
AI pathing issues fixed
Fixed bug where Root Access achievement wouldn't unlock - if you were hit by this one, opening the hacks menu should pop it for you
I've kept the price where it is for as long as I could - it felt like the right thing to do for everyone who jumped in early and put their trust in the game. That means a lot. But with everything that's been added and everything still coming in the second half of 2026, the price is going up on August 22 - and I wanted to give you a proper heads up.
We're running a -20% discount right now. If you've been on the fence, or have friends who've been meaning to pick it up - this is the moment.
If you want to try before you buy, the demo is back up. Jump in, get a feel for it. And when you’re ready to grab the full game, your demo progress carries straight over.
That's the June update. If you're already in - let me know what you think. Drop your runs, your builds, your cursed mod combinations in the Discord https://discord.com/invite/qA9Chnbevn
- the feedback genuinely shapes what comes next.
If you haven't picked it up yet, now is the best time to do it. Grab it, tell your friends, wishlist it if you haven't already. There's a lot more still coming in the second half of 2026 - and the next Major Update is the one where we leave Early Access behind for good.

Hey everyone,
Daniel here. June 7th is close and I wanted to show you what's coming in our 4th update since Early Access launched - and there's a lot coming.
(And soon you'll find out why it is called that way)
The story has been building since day one. Zone 05 is the next step toward the conclusion. Zone 06 lands in the second half of 2026 - and that's where it all wraps up.
This post is light on words for a reason - I'm letting the visuals do the talking. Just a taste of what's coming. Full breakdown drops next week.

Hey everyone, Daniel here.
Update 3 is now out! And I’m super excited for you all to dive into it. I'll walk you through everything that's new - because there's a lot, and I don't want any of it to get buried in a patch note scroll!
As mentioned previously, UPDATE 3’s main goal was to broaden the mod pool, increase build diversity, and add many quality of life features.
In the roadmap, as you probably remember, I promised to give you 18 modules. But in the actual update there are 19. I've managed to sneak one extra.
This is the biggest single drop of new modules since launch. Every category has seen additions.
Zeus Strike - Enemies hit by gravity tethered objects will be struck by lightning
BUNNYHOP.XES - Jumping out of a slide will drop a destructive mine
Ice Breaker - Enemies inflicted with ice will always receive a critical hit
Cold Snap - Taking damage freezes all enemies
Sharp Debris - Destruction debris has a chance to apply Laceration to enemies
Nade Rage - Provides unlimited grenades with no cooldown for a short duration
Mine Fabricator - Generates a proximity mine
Throwing Knife - Deals high damage and extremely high critical damage
Critical Overdrive - All damage is critical for a short duration
Catalyst Adapter - For a brief duration, any attack that could apply an elemental stack will have a 100% chance to do so
Pump Shot - Adds pump fire mode to weapon
Melee Reclaim - Meleeing an enemy will reset the dash cooldown
Drop Matrix - Increases melee damage when airborne
KNEE/BREAKER - Increases melee damage when sliding
Focused Strike - Holding melee will produce a more damaging attack
Digistruct Bolt - Holding melee will produce a high damage destructive bolt
Serrated Edge - Chance to inflict Laceration when meleeing an enemy
High Caliber - Decreases fire rate but increases damage
Critical Wounds - Critical hits have a chance to inflict Laceration (What’s ‘laceration’ you ask? Well, more on that below!))
This one is big, and I know many of you will welcome it.
Melee damage now scales with enemy health, which means it stays relevant deep into runs rather than dropping off in the later zones. The scaling will only clamp the minimum damage given, meaning melee builds can still scale upwards - leaving plenty of room for experimentation.
The Severance hack has been removed as a result, as it is no longer required.
Enemies stacked with Laceration take increased melee damage - the more stacks, the harder you hit. Many of the new mods are able to inflict laceration, giving melee builds more ways to build stacks quickly and keep the pressure on.. A melee-focused run has more going for it than ever.
This one is all down to community involvement. You asked, and here it is. The Recycler will appear in shop locations, allowing you to recycle unwanted mods for credits.
NEW HACK UPGRADE: RECYCLER
The Recycler Hack Upgrade is required for the recycler to appear. Additional tiers of the upgrade will improve how much currency you get back when recycling mods.
Crosshair colour customisation added to user settings
Sharpening slider added to video settings
Improved gamepad navigation throughout all UI
Dropped loot now has a screen indicator
Rock debris in boss arenas has a stronger pull towards the player and better visibility through surfaces
Damage numbers now persist when an enemy is downed
The game is now running on Unreal Engine 5.7. Better performance across the board, improved rendering on lower-spec machines, and a stronger foundation for everything coming next.
FSR implemented, DLSS updated to the latest version
Various background optimisations to improve rendering performance on lower-spec machines
Optimisations for when firing many projectiles at once
Physics performance optimisations
Should see slightly less CPU usage when many enemies are present due to optimisations to character movement
Ability cooldown now audibly pings when it's ready
Mini-bosses now provide a "mini-boss chest" (they always have done, but they're now more distinguishable to clearly show they provide x1 decryptor)
Supply crate hack which provides an item chest will now be more useful (No longer gives ammo or health, which are useless at the start of a run)
Common slot invokers got a slight buff - now reach in a 3 slot direction
Ability mods are now more likely to drop
Various small background bug fixes
Engine upgrade to 5.7 should fix some crashes experienced during shader compilation
Fix for a rare case where the player could fall through the ground geometry
In case you’re curious what’s coming next. Here is the updated Roadmap:
If you enjoy the update, the best way to support the game is simple - tell a friend who might like it. Word of mouth goes further than you might think.
And if you haven't already, come join us on Discord - https://discord.com/invite/qA9Chnbevn - keep the feedback coming. It shapes where the game goes. (as you can see in this or the previous updates)
Thank you for being part of this. See you in the game.

Hey everyone, Daniel here with a promised roadmap update.
(click for hi res image)
The April update is shaping up to be a big one for build variety. The headline content is a significant expansion of the modules pool accompanied by an exciting rework to the melee system.
I've been putting a lot of work into making melee feel like a genuine playstyle rather than something you fall back on when ammo runs dry. More on the specifics closer to launch - but if you've been itching for more melee-focused runs, this one's for you.
On the Modules side, expect a meaningful uplift to what's available. More combinations, more variety, and more ways to break the game in fun and interesting ways.
I probably shouldn't be saying this - but if you want 24h early access to the April build before it goes live, there's actually a way in.
All you have to do is visit
www.voidbreakergame.com I’ll leave the rest to you.
Once the April is out the door, attention turns to the June Major Update - and I want to start giving you a taste of what's coming.
You see that June is packed with content.
I'm not ready to show everything yet. But let me just drop these two images.
Now for the honest bit.
The biggest challenge right now is getting the Unreal Engine 5.7 upgrade fully across the line. The upgrade itself has been a positive move - better performance across the board, improved rendering on lower-spec machines, and a stronger foundation going forward. But it's been a little turbulent getting everything settled. As it usually gets when updating the engine.
The build is going through a full QA pass next week to make sure everything is working exactly as it should before the update lands. April is happening - now we’re making sure it's in good shape when it gets to you.
One thing I've been spending a lot of time on lately is figuring out how to better balance the playthrough experience.
VOID/BREAKER is a roguelite FPS, and part of the joy of that genre is wild RNG moments and ridiculous builds. I know you love them, and I love watching hilarious ways you're breaking the game.
But I've been watching a small number of players beat the game on their very first run thanks to incredibly overpowered mod combinations - and that's something I want to thoughtfully address, without taking away the fun.
A while back, I was tinkering with an Energy System. The idea was that your loadout would have an energy budget - using Rare, Epic, or Legendary mods would consume energy, and exceeding the threshold would result in taking increased damage.
The inspiration was Hollow Knight's "overcharming" mechanic - a meaningful risk-reward trade-off that encourages smarter loadout decisions rather than just stacking the most powerful stuff available.
After playtesting it myself and sitting with it for a while, I've decided not to go ahead with it. It just didn't feel right for VOID/BREAKER. The last thing I want to do is get in the way of you cooking up some completely unhinged build.
I wanted to be open about it because I'm constantly thinking about how to make the experience better, and every design decision gets taken seriously here. The fix needs to feel like it belongs in this game. I'm looking at different approaches and will share more when there's something worth sharing.
Mega Pixel pulled an all-nighter for this one - and it shows. IDRIS wrapped in lightning at 5am? Absolutely amazing. Love it.
If you've got your own creations to share, come drop them in our Discord
https://discord.com/invite/qA9Chnbevn I want to see what you're making.

And this one genuinely caught me off guard - glock soundz went and remade the sound design for VOID/BREAKER. My mate Joe Ford put so much into the audio and music for this game, and seeing someone care enough to put their own spin on it is something else. Really proud that this game is inspiring stuff like this.

Hey everyone,
Daniel here.
This is the biggest update VOID/BREAKER has received so far.
It’s also a great time to jump in.
VOID/BREAKER is currently 15% off, marking the deepest discount so far, alongside the most feature-rich version of the game to date. Before we break everything down in detail, take a look at what’s waiting for you. The trailer gives you a full showcase of what’s included in this update. (Just a reminder: This update does NOT wipe your progress. Your save, unlocks, and progression are completely safe. HARD RESET refers to the story.)
Zone 4 continues the story right after the events of Zone 3.
The environments are larger in scale and fully destructible, maintaining the systemic chaos of previous zones while pushing it further.
Wallrunning is officially in VOID/BREAKER.
This was one of the most requested features from the community. In my initial vision for the game, I did not plan to include wallrunning. I wanted movement to remain grounded, readable, and deliberate.
But the feedback kept coming.
After seeing how strongly you connected with the movement systems and how often wallrunning came up in discussions, I knew I had to revisit the idea properly.
Zone 4 was designed to support it fully, from combat spaces to traversal routes, and it fundamentally changes how you can approach fights and build synergies.
This one truly belongs to the community.
The SMG is now playable.
Fast, aggressive, and perfect for movement-heavy builds, it brings a new rhythm to combat and synergizes strongly with several module setups.
Zone 4 introduces:
Dominion - A vicious aerial enemy with dimension-phasing abilities
Helix - An aerial bombardier that rushes the player on death
Sentry - A non-arena enemy that lurks underground and can strike unexpectedly
Mutt - A smaller, nimbler hound variant with a powerful forward leap
Trixiom - An aerial enemy that releases projectiles when damaged
Shielded enemies now appear.
These enemies require a melee strike before they can receive damage, encouraging more aggressive and varied combat approaches.
Jump Stack - Adds an additional jump
Armour Plate - Blocks one hit and is consumed on use
Skirmisher - Increased weapon damage while wallrunning
Skirmisher Plus - Enhanced version of Skirmisher
TheFloorIsLava - Corrupted module: damages you while touching the floor but increases overall weapon damage
Hard Throw - All gravity tether objects will destroy the environment when thrown
Overclocked - Enemies are faster and more aggressive
Fortified - All hostiles are fortified with armor
Shops can now be rerolled with Voidium
Higher difficulties now reward more Voidium
The last enemy in an area clear will release Voidium
Decrypting a hack will now automatically unlock the first tier of the upgrade
Voidmax hack has been removed
Schematic Hyperdrive hack has been removed
Schematics are now easier to find with a UI and audio cue
Added a cap to the number of health bars visible at any time to reduce visual clutter
All pickups such as health, ammo, Voidium, and void coins now stay in the world longer before disappearing
Improved leap handling on hound
Improved visual clarity of enemy lasers and shockwaves for better combat readability
Boss 01 adjustments: Reduced Gravaxis movement and improved readability on certain attacks
Weapon chassis mods are now visible in the modification screen, allowing some effects to be repeated
Enemies are no longer immune if they share the same element as your projectile. Instead, damage is reduced by 50%
Slight decrease to enemy health scaling across the board
Improvements to grapple, including grapple cancelling and automatic collision detection
Many of these are subtle on their own, but together they should make the overall experience smoother and clearer.
Fixed a bug where the damage indicator from a defender melee had an incorrect direction
Fixed an issue where recoil would kick too close to the camera in certain situations
An updated roadmap is coming in March, outlining what’s next for VOID/BREAKER after HARD RESET. As always, your feedback will help guide what I focus on next.
Zone 4 is waiting, and I’m genuinely excited to see what you do with it. If you enjoy the update, the best way to support the game is simple. Tell a friend who might like it. Word of mouth goes further than you might think.
And if you haven’t already, join us on Discord. I read more than you expect, and your feedback continues to shape where VOID/BREAKER goes next.
Thank you for being part of this.
See you in Zone 4! Daniel
Hey everyone, Daniel here
Just a quick reminder that the HARD RESET update launches on February 17th.
If you missed Part 1 of the dev diary, you can catch up here:
In this entry, I’m covering the remaining roadmap highlights, balancing changes, some behind-the-scenes insights, and a few extra surprises.
Yes. It’s finally happening! The SMG is joining VOID/BREAKER’s Loadout, a fast firing decimator with an extremely high fire rate and high proc chance The SMG excels at decimating targets with repeated fire, as long as you can control it!
The SMG has been in several VOID/BREAKER trailers now, teasing its arrival. If it's in the game already for the trailer team, why can’t it be used already? Unfortunately, whilst the SMG was technically in the game, its animations, VFX and SFX were not ready yet!
The trailer team had to make sure that they weren’t reloading when they were using the SMG, otherwise you’d have seen a very broken animation! The SMG is fast, aggressive, and pairs beautifully with movement-heavy builds.
It has quickly become one of my favorite weapons yet and I can't wait for you to try it out!
Dominion - A vicious aerial enemy with dimension-phasing abilities
Helix - An aerial bombardier, rushes the player on death
Sentry - A non-arena enemy that lurks underground, could strike at any moment
Mutt - A smaller but nimbler variant of the hound.
Trixiom - An aerial enemy that releases projectiles when damaged
Shielded enemies require a melee strike in order to receive damage, adding an extra layer to combat
This forces you to engage differently, keeping you on your toes, rewarding mobile and tactful gameplay..
Now for some balance tweaks. Based on your feedback around progression and Voidium flow, I’ve made a few changes to permaprogression and the overall economy. Hopefully these feel both fun and fair. Economy and Permaprogression:
Shops can now be rerolled with Voidium
Higher difficulties now reward more Voidium
The last enemy in an area clear will release Voidium
Decrypting a hack will now automatically unlock the first tier of the upgrade
Voidmax hack has been removed
Schematic Hyperdrive hack has been removed
Improvements and balancing tweaks:
Schematics are now easier to find with a UI and audio cue
Added a cap to the number of health bars visible at any time to reduce visual clutter
All pickups such as health, ammo, Voidium, and void coins now stay in the world longer before disappearing
Improved leap handling on hound
Improved visual clarity of enemy lasers and shockwaves for better combat readability
Boss 01 adjustments: Reduced Gravaxis movement and improved readability on certain attacks
Weapon chassis mods are now visible in the modification screen, allowing some effects to be repeated
Enemies are no longer immune if they share the same element as your projectile. Instead, damage is reduced by 50%
Slight decrease to enemy health scaling across the board
Improvements to grapple, including grapple cancelling and automatic collision detection
Many of these are subtle on their own, but together they should make the overall experience smoother and clearer.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed a bug where the damage indicator from a defender melee had an incorrect direction
Fixed an issue where recoil would kick too close to the camera in certain situations
I wanted Zone 4 to kick off Act 2 with a grander sense of scale than the beginning of the game. With the player and 1473 awakening in the real world, the environments and combat spaces needed to level up as well.
It was both a technical and design challenge to make the urban environments of Zone 4 match the destructibility seen in Zones 1 to 3. But I am very pleased with how it turned out.
I animate directly in Unreal Engine using Unreal’s Control Rig. I do not animate in external software. I find Control Rig very intuitive and flexible, and it allows me to create dynamic rigs and animations quickly. I also love being able to see the results immediately inside Unreal Engine.
Caution: this does sometimes lead to unexpected dance parties.
Let’s end this with some community highlights. The clips and builds you’ve been posting on Discord and Reddit are not only entertaining to watch, they actively help guide the direction of the game.
If you have something cool to share, post it on Discord or Reddit. You might end up featured here in the next dev diary. And if you are not part of the Discord yet, feel free to join and tell us what you think about the upcoming update. I read more than you might expect ;)

Delta (Discord) is campaigning hard for a VOID/BREAKER TCG. This card-style Gravaxis and Ignit fanarts might be their strongest argument yet.
This is peak community energy:
HARD RESET is a major step forward for VOID/BREAKER, and I cannot wait for you to dive in.. Wallrunning, the SMG, and the new modules. I’m especially curious what kind of builds you’ll come up with.
Thank you for sticking with the game, sharing your thoughts, and constantly challenging me to make it better.
See you on February 17th.

Hey everyone,
Daniel here.
It has been a few months since my last update. Since then, I have been deep in development mode putting together VOID/BREAKER’s biggest update yet. HARD RESET introduces a new Zone to fight your way through, an epic story continuation, and adds a brand new weapon. You’ll also encounter new enemies, challenging new enemy variants, and a fresh set of modules to experiment with. And one more special feature: something that has been heavily requested by the community. I think you’ll love it.
Until now, VOID/BREAKER has taken you through three zones, with Zone 3 ending on a nasty (Yes, I know) cliffhanger.
HARD RESET picks up shortly after that moment.
If you have not beaten the story yet, this is your chance to avoid a heavy spoiler. I will clearly mark where the spoiler ends, so don’t worry.
Last chance.
Final warning.
If you spoil this for yourself, you cannot blame me at this point.
Zone 4 takes place right after the final events of zone 3, where Desmond and 1473 narrowly escape IDRIS. Instead of freedom, they awaken to a city in ruins, overtaken by the AI, and discover a new objective that pushes the narrative into its next chapter.
Now… about that one thing you kept asking for…
At the very early stages of development, I actually experimented with the idea of wallrunning. There was a rough prototype where I tested how it might feel in VOID/BREAKER, and you can see a bit of that below. In the end, I decided against adding to the game. My vision for VOID/BREAKER was to keep movement grounded, readable, and very deliberate.
But then I released the game into early access, and one thing became very clear, many of you loved the movement, and wanted more!
After seeing how many of you connected with the movement systems, and how often wallrunning came up in your requests, I knew I had to make it work.
Adding wallrunning meant Zone 4 had to pivot slightly in its design to properly support it. Sightlines, combat spaces, and traversal routes all needed to work with this new freedom of movement.
It added extra development time, but it was absolutely worth it. If you have more ideas or suggestions you want to share, I am always listening. Feel free to drop your thoughts in our Discord and help shape where VOID/BREAKER goes next.
GIF is from a development test level, early footage of wall running system being developed.
HARD RESET also introduces six brand-new modules, opening up even more possibilities for crazy build making and experimentation.
For now, I am only going to share the names of the new modules. Some of you will probably be able to figure out what they do just from that alone.
If you have theories or ideas, feel free to share them in our Discord. I am genuinely curious to see what you come up with.
More details soon. Jump Stack
Armour Plate
Skirmisher
Skirmisher Plus

Hard Throw
One important thing to clear up right away. This update does NOT wipe your progress. Your save, unlocks and progress are completely safe. The name HARD RESET comes from the story.
Without spoiling too much, the events of Zone 4 represent a lore-level reset. A major shift in Des’ understanding of the loop, the world, and IDRIS himself. The rules are changing, and the stakes are very different from what came before.
You might have noticed that some features and elements from the roadmap are not mentioned in this dev diary. That is intentional.
All roadmap items planned for HARD RESET are on track. This dev diary is simply focused on a specific set of highlights, rather than covering everything at once.
HARD RESET is a large update, and splitting the information into smaller dev diary entries lets me go into more detail and give each feature the attention it deserves.
This is Part 1 of the HARD RESET dev diary. Part 2 will be coming before launch, where I will cover the remaining roadmap features and improvements. So keep an eye out for the next Dev Diary.
Before wrapping things up, I want to highlight some of the incredible clips, builds, and moments you have been sharing on our Discord and on Reddit.
Seeing how you play, break, and experiment with VOID/BREAKER constantly influences how the game evolves.
This one genuinely made me laugh. Watching a build get so out of control that the game starts hitting its own limits is exactly the kind of chaos VOID/BREAKER is meant to create.
This humanized take on IDRIS is such a cool interpretation, and seeing characters from VOID/BREAKER reimagined like this means a lot to me.
I really hope this gets some love from the rest of the community. Shoutout to Fesdem (Reddit) / Fenix NT (Discord)
Facts.
Well, that escalated quickly. 😅
HARD RESET is the biggest step forward yet for VOID/BREAKER, and I cannot wait for you to get your hands on Zone 4, try wallrunning for yourself, and start tinkering with the new modules.
As always, thank you for the feedback, the clips, and the constant push to make this game better.
See you on February 17th.

Hey everyone, Daniel here I’ve been working on a smaller update this time - something to make the game feel better day-to-day while also giving long-term players a reason to keep diving back in. The Chaos Terminal Update isn’t massive, but it introduces a new endgame loop, a few new mods, and a lot of improvements that should make the game smoother overall.
After clearing Zone 3, you’ll unlock a new terminal that lets you increase the challenge of the simulation in exchange for better rewards. You can enable modifiers or raise your main difficulty level to boost your Chaos Rating and take on new Chaos Missions. Completing these missions gives you Chaos Fragments, which you can use to unlock unique weapon chassis - new variants with their own visuals and handling. There are 16 of them to discover right now. The chaos terminal provides the ultimate challenge for those who wish to continue playing V/B.
Wouldn’t be a VOID/BREAKER update without a few new mods to mess around with. I’ll let you find out what they do in-game - make sure to compare notes on Discord.
Canted Sight (Common)
Cross Invoker (Common)
Invoker Nuke (Corrupted)
360 No Scope (Corrupted)
Community Voice: Ultrawide Support
Community Voice: Added toggle ADS.
Better weapon optics and general usability.
Adjusted damage math for better scaling.
Improved ultrawide support.
Sparkbreaker buff.
Colour tints for mod pros/cons.
Longer elemental inflictions.
Added a glossary page to the inventory.
Gamepad navigation feels much smoother.
A bunch of bug fixes and small cleanups.
We’re also sharing an updated roadmap. You’ll notice that some of the bigger updates have been pushed back a bit. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to release a major update this year as I’d hoped.
I know that’s not ideal, and I’m really sorry for the delay. The good news is that the plan to release the full game next year is still very much in place. Thanks so much for being supportive and patient - it really means a lot. I hope what I’m working on will be worth the wait, and that you’ll enjoy what’s coming next.
To celebrate this mini update, VOID/BREAKER is 10% off as part of Playstack’s Publisher Sale. We’ve also teamed up with Deadlink for a special bundle - two roguelite powerhouses colliding! If you grab the bundle, you’ll get an extra discount on top of the sale, so it’s a great time to jump in. — Thanks again for all your feedback and support - it’s been incredibly motivating to see what you’re doing with your builds (and the chaos you’re managing to survive). As always, feel free to drop by our Discord and share your ideas or suggestions.
Thanks for being here Daniel
Hey everyone, Daniel here.
Firstly, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the support during week 1. The positive reception has been overwhelming. From watching playthroughs, streams, reading reviews; it's been fantastic to see. (Joe has also been watching all week!).
With the help of my publisher, Playstack, we’ve compiled a list of bug reports, community suggestions and feedback points to pave the way for the road ahead. And we can’t wait to continue developing and releasing new updates for VOID/BREAKER.
And just like that, I have a first update to hopefully fix some of those initial pain points and bugs. If you have an outstanding bug or suggestion that isn’t in the list, don’t be alarmed, it's most likely on my radar and in production.
🟥 BUG FIXES
Fix for ADS issues when holding sprint and firing at the same time
Fixed some bugs relating to weapon attachments UI
Fix for stutter when using chrono hold ability during a boss bullet hell attack (unconfirmed whether this will fix the crash)
Fix for losing your researched schematic if you were to swap weapons at the start of a run
Various other UI fixes
Fix for ignit launcher module not throwing correctly
Transitioning to the next zone will now remember your selected optic and fire mode
“Max iteration reached” on the stats screen in the bunker should now correct display
Fixed bug where infini-ammo and predator modules wouldn’t work in tandem
Fixed bug on stats screen that showed incorrect number of total schematics. Also fixed a bug with the schematic that caused this (if you researched Quickdraw, you may need to find this schematic, and research it again for it to enter the loot pool correctly)
In the rare occasion where a boss will die slightly outside the arena, its loot will no longer spawn outside.
🟥 IMPROVEMENTS
Improved visibility when tethering an object
Improved pistol firing animation so it doesn’t get so close to the camera
New tutorial popup after first death showcasing the hacks / permanent upgrades terminal.
Projectile visibility behind walls reduced. Also added a distance fade to reduce clutter further.
Tweaked UI for purchasing weapons so that its easier to see the price
Voidium and credits received some new FX and better collection detection
Voidium and credits have a slightly increased collection radius
🟥 BALANCING
3 hack upgrades are unlocked by default, allowing instant tier purchases via voidium. (This will help with some early game difficulty)
The assault rifle now costs voidium instead of decryptors (This will help with some early game difficulty)
🟥 OTHER
Corner resonator now epic rarity (sorry, it's just too good)
Marksman base reload speed increased. But damage reduced slightly
Slightly increased difficulty from zone 02 to zone 03
Health has an increased collection radius
Thanks again everyone for jumping into VOID/BREAKER on its early access launch! Your support means the world.

Hey everyone, Daniel here.
I can’t put into words how surreal this moment feels. Thank you for sticking with me, for all the support, and for all the feedback you’ve shared along the way. It has meant the world.
But this is just the beginning. The journey has only started, and there is still plenty of work ahead. I’d love you to be part of this journey: play, share your thoughts, and help shape the game as it grows.
To give you an idea of what’s coming, I’ve put together a roadmap. It outlines the features and content I’m working on, with even more planned beyond what’s shown there.
Click the image to view the roadmap in detail.
At launch there are also two bundles available And don’t forget to hop into the Discord. An amazing group of people is already there, and I’d love to hear what you enjoy, what you’d like to see improved, and what you’d like me to focus on in upcoming updates.
I can’t wait to see your videos, streams, and posts of you taking on VOID/BREAKER (and hopefully having fun with it).
Finally, if you have a friend who might enjoy this game, it would mean the world if you shared it with them. It might seem like a small thing, but for solo devs like me, it is huge.
Thanks for being here. Daniel
Hey everyone,
Daniel here.
We are getting closer to the Early Access launch of VOID/BREAKER (Aug 19th), and I want to give you a look at what will be included on day one, as well as where the game is heading afterwards.
Today I am sharing the Early Access Roadmap.
Zones 01–03
4 weapons available
Extra hard difficulty modes
Endless Run Mode
Weapon skin terminal
And countless improvements that came thanks to the awesome community
Click the image for a hi-res version
Zone 04 and Zone 05
A bunch of new modules (with even more later)
New weapons and new enemy variants
Community Voice Updates based on your requests
Balance tweaks and improvements
You may notice some elements on the roadmap are blacked out. These are things I am not ready to reveal just yet, but I wanted you to see their place on the timeline. Surprises are part of the fun, and I cannot wait to pull back the curtain when the time comes.
The Community Voice Updates are especially important to me. Many of the elements already in the game exist because of playtesters and community input, and I want to keep that same process alive throughout Early Access. These updates will focus entirely on features and tweaks requested directly by you. Your feedback will continue to guide the direction of VOID/BREAKER as it grows.
This roadmap is not everything. There is much more planned beyond what you see here. The roadmap will also be updated and expanded with more detail, so the community always knows what to expect as we move forward.
What are Community Voice Updates?
These are updates focused entirely on player requests. They will include features, tweaks, and improvements suggested directly by the community. Many elements already in VOID/BREAKER exist because of playtester feedback, and this will continue to guide development.
Why are some elements on the roadmap blacked out?
Some features are intentionally hidden for now. I want to give you a clear picture of the timeline without spoiling everything. These will be revealed closer to release, so you can look forward to some surprises along the way.
How long will VOID/BREAKER stay in Early Access?
Right now, the plan is to release version 1.0 in 2026. However, this may change depending on feedback, development needs, and the scope of new ideas that come out of Early Access.
This roadmap is a living thing, and it will evolve as the game does. Thank you again for being here at the start.
I cannot wait for you to jump in at launch, and I am even more excited to see where we can take VOID/BREAKER together.
Let me know what you think,
and see you on the Discord
Best,
Daniel
Hey everyone,
Daniel here
It’s finally happening.
I’ve been working toward this moment for a long time and I can’t wait for you to play. Now I can finally share exactly when you’ll be able to jump in.
Click the image to see the hi-res version.
The launch price is now set, and it’s been chosen to reflect what the community has been saying. After going through every survey reply, I aimed for something that feels fair and matches the scope of the game.
Here’s where it landed: $19.99 USD €17.99 EUR £17.99 GBP
If you’ve liked what I’ve been building so far, I’d be grateful if you told any friends who might think VOID/BREAKER is their cup of tea. Wishlist if you haven’t yet, and I’ll see you on August 19th.
Best, Daniel
