- Last Chance: Join the Vanguard! - 11 March 2026
Hey Breakers! The Vanguard started as a way for us to celebrate the folks who jumped into Glassbreakers early. It's been a joy to watch the group grow, building a community of their very own. However, we're making a change that we wanted to share with you all today. Over the month of March, we are accepting a final wave of applications for the Vanguard program. When this ends in early April, we will be sending this final wave of invites so everyone who has been part of this chapter is included in the program.Apply For the VanguardWe're grateful for your support, and we look forward to entering this new chapter together. - Team Polyarc 🌿

- Glassbreakers - Patch 2 Notes - 16 December 2025
Hello Breakers, and welcome to Patch 2! While the last update focused on matchmaking, this update aims to tackle some of the balance feedback you have had as well as improving several crash issues to address stability. Read on! Invite GlassWe’re introducing support for direct matches against another player or team, no party join required. This opens the door for 2v2 challenges, which we’re really excited about.

- Glassbreakers - Patch 1 Notes - 25 November 2025
Hello Breakers, and welcome to the first Glassbreakers patch! We have been keeping a close eye on your feedback about matchmaking, balance, and progression since Glassbreakers released a couple weeks ago. Today, we are taking the first step in addressing some of the concerns you’ve had around finding Ranked matches against other players. Let’s get right into it.MatchmakingSince launch, one of the primary pieces of feedback we’ve heard from some of you is that getting into Ranked matches with other players can be a challenge. While we feel that having a bot fallback system in place is important to keep matches flowing and queue times low, we also recognize that it needs some fine-tuning to better serve the competitive community. This is why we’re introducing adjustments to how these bot fallback rules are applied.As your rank increases, matchmaking will now spend a little more time searc…

- Glassbreakers - Development Blog #4 - 25 July 2025
Snuggle up, Squad! It's your friendly neighborhood community manager, Kristen! Today, I am excited to reveal the second previously unrevealed Champion coming to Glassbreakers: Djain, the Gambler! To get to know our beloved Gambler better, I spoke with our talented writer, Shauna, and our design director, Chris Bourassa, to get a sense of who Djain is, their motivations, and what they bring to Glassbreakers. The Diary of DjainA smirk curls on Djain's lips as they slowly roll a set of dice between each finger. "You're in too deep," Djain says, "but I can make you an offer you simply can't refuse."Meet Djain: an immortal, silver-tongued devil who loves games of chance and Faustian bargains. You've never met them before. Not in Moss or any bedtime story you were told. Perhaps you heard of them in whispers—half-forgotten tales of a trickster who showed up when things have gone awry... or ver…
- Glassbreakers - Development Blog #3 - 18 July 2025
Happy Friday, Breakers! We’re excited to give you a peek at another new feature coming to Glassbreakers: Champion Mastery.—When we launched the Glassbreakers Open Beta in 2023, it was an exciting first step—an opportunity to share our vision, gather feedback, and explore how players engaged with the game. Since taking the game offline, we’ve used what we learned to reshape the experience in meaningful ways.One of the most significant changes we announced was that Glassbreakers is no longer a free-to-play game. And that shift has opened up new design possibilities that weren’t feasible during the beta phase.Unlocking Champions at Your Own PaceIn Development Blog #1, we touched on why we moved away from F2P. One of the most significant benefits of this shift is the ability to create more rewarding progression systems. Removing the need to gate content behind microtransactions or steep gri…
- Glassbreakers - Development Blog #2 - 11 July 2025
Hello, my name is Chris, the Design Director for Glassbreakers, and I’m thrilled to reveal the first unannounced hero coming to the game—Sahima!Who is Sahima?For players of Moss: Book II, Sahima needs no introduction. A nomadic lone wolf who has walked a solitary path for many years, Sahima has a troubled history with the Readers. But when the call came, she couldn’t turn away. A skilled and disciplined fighter, Sahima uses her chakram to strike down foes from a distance, ensuring that no enemy is safe from her reach.From Moss: Book II to GlassbreakersWhen players first encountered Sahima in Moss: Book II, she brought a unique ranged experience to the game, switching up how players thought about combat encounters. Her chakram, capable of bouncing off multiple enemies at once, made it incredibly satisfying to take down multiple foes in one fluid motion. Her fighting style already being d…

Snuggle up, Squad, and welcome to the first Steam Glassbreakers developer blog of 2025! We know that you have been waiting for an update from us, and we are excited to finally share more with you. So grab your beverage of choice and settle in, because today marks the beginning of fresh details about Glassbreakers.We know what you’re thinking: “Where have you been? We’ve been waiting for an update on Glassbreakers since Open Beta.”As many of you know, Polyarc is a small and growing, but independent studio of around 40 people. Over the last year, we’ve been busy. For instance, in late 2024, we delivered a Quest 3S and 3 update for Moss fans, bringing the visuals in line with other platforms, adding a combat skip feature to address player feedback and appeal to more cozy gamers in VR, and fixing a few small bugs. But behind the scenes, we never stopped working on Glassbreakers.At the end o…

- Glassbreakers | Open Beta Patch 0.5 - 31 October 2023
Hello Glassbreakers! We have made the following changes: Balance Changes Champions Gwendoline While Gwendoline has great survivability on her own, we're not seeing her ability have as much of an impact as we hoped it would. We're increasing both her starting redirection amount and the amount she redirects at max level. Our hope is this gives her team a bit more lasting power in team fights. Significantly increased the amount of damage redirected from allies while King's Protection is active. Barnard Last balance patch we increased Barnard's starting health to give him better survivability in the early game. We knew we needed to do more to make him feel like he can compete with Brel but needed more time to find the right change. In the end we found that both Radiant Blast and Barnard's attack needed a bit of love. Our hope is that these increases in damage will help Barnard compete with…
