On March 25th, the fresh take on the classic “Breakout” series, previously known as “Breakout Beyond“, is set to debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam, and Atari VCS. This exciting news comes from publisher Atari and developer Choice Provisions.
Here is an overview of the game, via Atari:
About
In a fresh, dynamic spin on the classic “Breakout” series, “Breakout Beyond” invites gamers to smash their way past barriers towards new horizons. This innovative addition to the “Breakout” universe pushes players beyond simple brick-breaking by encouraging them to strategize and build high scores using clever combo techniques.
Key aspects of “Breakout Beyond” include a unique sideways perspective, 72 challenging levels to conquer, and a cooperative mode that allows two players to team up for an exhilarating brick-breaking experience together.
In this modern, neon-lit interpretation of the 1976 arcade game, players shatter their way through each puzzle not by going up, but sideways. They break down obstacles and gather combos to increase the game’s excitement, with the most proficient players being treated to an eye-catching light display as a reward. Destroying special blocks grants them powerful perks such as massive brick-clearing explosions, a protective shield for the ball, and a laser cannon to pave the way. Each of these features showcases stunning visual effects that have never been seen before in the classic game Breakout.
As a fan, I’m thrilled to share that this game offers an exciting journey with 72 intricate levels designed to test your brick-blasting prowess to its limits! But don’t worry, you won’t have to conquer these challenges all by yourself. You can team up with a fellow gamer for local two-player cooperative play and tackle the madness together! For those seeking more control over the chaos, there’s a focus mode that slows down time, giving you a better grip on the action at the cost of a higher score.
Key Features
- Unlockable endless mode with an online global leaderboard.
- 72 challenging levels that will put players’ brick-breaking skills to the test.
- Two-player cooperative play to manage (or ramp up) the chaos with a friend.
- Procedural audio and visual effects that increase in intensity with each combo.
