About Spellbreak
Spellbreak launched September 3, 2020, developed by Proletariat and published as a free-to-play title. The fantasy battle royale game distinguished itself through spell-based combat instead of traditional firearms.
Players chose from six classes: Frostborn, Conduit, Pyromancer, Toxicologist, Stoneshaper, or Tempest. Each class wielded elemental gauntlets that cast unique spells. Combat combined two gauntlets simultaneously, creating spell combinations through elemental interactions.
The battle royale mode supported up to 42 players competing across floating islands in the Hollow Lands. A toxic storm gradually enclosed the playable area, forcing player confrontations. Movement emphasized verticality with levitation abilities and environmental traversal.
Unique features included mid-air combat, spell crafting through element mixing, and class-based talent systems. Players progressed through account leveling, unlocking cosmetics and gameplay modifiers. Cross-platform play connected PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch players at launch.
