PUBG Mobile developer, Krafton releases a major content update to their newest title MOONBREAKER
EARLY ACCESS BUSINESS MODEL ADJUSTMENTS
All Units (i.e., Captains and Crew) are now unlocked automatically with the base game. This means Booster Boxes have been removed and all new Units (at Common Rarity) added to Moonbreaker through future Early Access content updates will be automatically unlocked for all players at no additional cost. Sparks now replace Blanks and Merits as the primary in-game currency. Players can use Sparks to upgrade a Unit’s Rarity. As a reminder, a Unit’s Rarity will continue to be a cosmetic upgrade only and will not impact gameplay. Finally, Season Track progression is now a lot faster and includes several new, exciting cosmetic rewards.
CORE GAMEPLAY CHANGES
Based on strong community feedback, the content update also introduces a variety of core gameplay changes that see Moonbreaker further embrace its miniature and tabletop roots while increasing player agency. Firstly, players will now start with will all Crew available at the beginning of each match, removing the concept of “reinforcement” and “drawing” throughout the game. This adjustment is paired with a slight reduction to roster size, decreasing it from 10 to 8 (not inclusive of a Captain).
Speaking of Captains, Astra has been reworked to ensure she offers players a greater range of counter-play options. Additionally, Ship Assists have been reworked to offer players greater agency in how they deal with them:
- Orbital Strike: At the start of a player’s NEXT turn, deal 3 damage to all units in area; cooldown lowered from 4 turns to 3 turns.
- Cinder Infusion: New Keyword, Infused. Gain +1 Cinder every turn; Give target allied Crew Infused for 3 turns.
- Plink: When activated, players can select a Unit whose health changed that turn and either restore health (if friendly) or deal damage (if an enemy).
- Stowaway: When using this Ship Assist, a player’s “lowest cost” undeployed Crew will be replaced with one that costs +1 more Cinder to deploy.
- Corrosive Particles: The radius of this assistance will be reduced from 5 to 2, an 83% reduction.
The new content update also introduces the second episode of the “Moobreaker: Tales From The Reaches” audio drama series. This latest episode, “Zax’s Story,” is available in-game or on digital podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, iHeart Media, Amazon Podcasts, and Stitcher.
