Into the Breach is getting a free premium extension
Into the Breach is a turn-based tactical game about mechs and bugs, developed by Subset Games, the makers of the outstanding sci-fi adventure sim FTL.And it’s even better: 93% of our reviews say Into the Breach provides the “best tactical” experience (opens in new tab)and chose it as our Ultimate Game of the Year (opens in new tab) 2018.
It gets even better on July 19 with the release of Into the Breach: Premium Edition, which will feature five new mech squads and nearly 40 new weapons, additional enemies, bosses and mission objectives, and New pilots and pilots to expand the original game capabilities. The Premium Edition will also feature a new “Unfair” difficulty mode, support for seven additional languages (Arabic, Thai, Swedish, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Spanish), as well as two new tracks from composer Ben Prunty .
The Premium Edition update gives the game a whole new look again, with more content for almost everything! Watch the trailer here!

Even better, the Premium Edition will be available as a free update to owners of the original Into the Breach – which, by the way, is on sale for $10 during the 2022 Steam Summer Sale (opens in new tab)started today.
The premium version will also see the eventual release of Into the Breach for Android and iOS devices. The mobile version of the game will have an improved interface “to ensure a great experience on smaller touch devices such as mobile phones,” but will otherwise be identical to Into the Breach: Advanced Edition on other platforms. Interestingly, it will be available exclusively to Netflix (opens in new tab) Subscribers through the Netflix Games service.
It’s a generous move by Subset, and something the studio has done before: In 2014, a few years after FTL launched, Subset released FTL: Premium Edition (opens in new tab) The expansion, also free for owners, adds new races, ships, weapons, subsystems, in-game events, and more. The end result is the “final version” of an already excellent strategy game – hopefully we can expect more of the same from Into the Breach.
