'Moonbreaker' Is A Turn-based Tabletop Tactics Game, Early Access In September - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 23, 2022 @ 2:37 p.m. PDT

Moonbreaker is a turn-based, tabletop tactics game designed to be a true digital miniatures experience set in an expansive sci-fi universe.

Through accessible turn-based competitive gameplay, ongoing content releases, and deep customization, Moonbreaker will offer a variety of gameplay experiences, especially for fans of tabletop and collectible card games. Players will be able to lead their Rosters - which are made up of Captains, Crew and Assists - in fast-paced, turn-based encounters with a variety of gameplay possibilities.

Moonbreaker is set in an original sci-fi world crafted by renowned author Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series, Stormlight Archive, Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time). Players will battle in various locations across the Reaches – a tiny solar system with moons held in orbit by a scarce resource called Cinder. Players will also be able to learn more about the world of Moonbreaker and its characters through upcoming audio dramas that will release closer to its Early Access launch.

Every aspect of Moonbreaker is designed to capture the feel of a physical miniatures game without the real-world limitations. With detailed, intuitive and constantly evolving painting tools, players can take their Unit customization to the next level. Custom palettes, beautiful finishes, customizable roster banners and professional digital painting tools create the perfect space for player expression. Players can paint their Units using traditional painting techniques (but with an undo button!) or marvel at beautiful paint jobs created by professional miniatures painters.


Celebrate the announcement of Moonbreaker with exclusive access to a commemorative ‘Gloomside’ Crankbait Paint Job via the Moonbreaker Premiere Program. Those who register their Krafton IDs by September will be guaranteed access to the exclusive paint job when the game launches for PC and Mac via Steam Early Access on September 29, 2022.

Moonbreaker Steam Playtest will be held for those interested in playing the game prior to its Early Access launch, though additional details will be revealed at a later date.

Moonbreaker currently includes a multiplayer mode, where you can play 1v1 online against friends in private matches or other players in public matches. It has two single-player modes – Play versus AI and Cargo Run. Unit painting and a selection of other cosmetic features are also available. There is player progression through Unit Mastery with in-game rewards. The store is functional with the ability to earn Blanks or purchase Pulsars, which are redeemable for Boosters. Finally, we have Season Tracks, which present new content to unlock and enjoy seasonally.

Early Access launch is Season One!

Moonbreaker currently includes three Captains, 10 Crew unlocked through tutorial/intro challenges, 15 Booster Boxes, and an Early Access Player Badge.

At Early Access launch, there will be an additional 28 Crew, which can be unlocked by redeeming Blanks or Pulsars for Boosters.

With each Season release, we will release more features, Units, maps, cosmetics, and more. Some of these will be unlockable, some of these will be immediately playable. What exactly will we release? We have a general idea but this is Early Access, so the most important part is making the game available and hearing your thoughts. We want to make sure we are releasing content that you’re excited about.

Moonbreaker was born out of a natural passion for tabletop gaming many of us share at Unknown Worlds,” said Charlie Cleveland, Co-Founder and Game Director at Unknown Worlds. “Our aim with the game is to reduce the traditional barriers associated with tabletop gaming and miniatures while retaining the hobbyist appeal that makes that genre so special. After several years in development, we’re thrilled to officially reveal Moonbreaker and look forward to working with the community to evolve the game while it's in Early Access.”

“With Moonbreaker, we are offering a wholly unique gaming experience that combines the depth of traditional tabletop gaming with the convenience of modern video game technology,” said Mike Silbowitz, Head of Americas Business Division at KRAFTON, Inc. “Our partners at Unknown Worlds have a strong history of taking bold creative swings based on their success with the Subnautica and Natural Selection series, and we expect Moonbreaker to continue this tradition. The game’s launch into Early Access is just the beginning as we are thrilled to support it through ongoing seasons and content updates.”

Moonbreaker is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for launch in 2023/2024.
