But wait, there’s more. Seven new Vek and three new Psions along with 10 new boss battles are also available. There are also 39 new weapons and equipment, two new tracks courtesy of composer Ben Prunty, and support for seven new languages including Korean, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and more.

Sans balance changes, those who want to play without all of the new content can do thanks to the optional content toggles. Veterans can try out Unfair Mode which doubles Grid power gains but provides a much more challenging experience. Check out the notes below for details on other changes.

Other Changes

• Optional Content Toggles – All of the new content (enemies, pilot skills, etc) other than balance changes are possible to turn off if you would like the base-game content experience.
• Weapon reactor usage reduced – We wanted to encourage players to immediately try out equipment they find, so we reduced the reactor power to equip most gear.
• Store Changes – Since you can now instantly equip most weapons without needing an additional reactor core, the reputation cost to purchase weapons has increased by 1 and the store options are limited in the first 2 islands.
• New weapon mechanic: KO effects – Certain weapons will trigger an additional effect if the primary target is killed by the attack.
• New tile mechanic: Cracking – Certain weapons will cause the ground to crack. If the tile is damaged again, it will shatter, destroying the tile and anything standing on it!
• New status effect: Boost – This will increase the next attack’s damage by 1. Highly effective for AoE attacks!
• Unlocking Squads with Coins Change – The cost of unlocking squads with coins has been reduced to account for the extra squads.

Along with new five mech squads and 40 new weapons, there are more enemies and bosses to tackle. More missions and objectives, new Pilots and new Pilot Skills are also coming. Those looking for a tougher challenge can look forward to a higher-difficulty option. Seven additional languages are also supported with the update.

In addition, Into the Breach is also coming to Android and iOS devices on the same day courtesy of Netflix. A Netflix subscription is required but there are no ads or micro-transactions. The mobile version also sports a new UI optimized for tablets and phones.

Into the Breach is currently available for PC, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia. Check out our review here for more details on the base game.
