Spellbreak Overview
Take on the role of a battlemage, master the elements, and fight to be the last-man standing in the fantasy battle royale game, Spellbreak. Equip your character with one of six elemental gauntlets: Fire, Frost, Lightning, Stone, Wind, and Toxic. Each gauntlet features different spells, attacks, and playing styles. Choose three passive Talents to tailor-fit your avatar to your preferred playing style. Loot off-hand gauntlets of varying qualities from chests scattered across the map or from eliminated players and combine different elements for more devastating effect. Loot and equip Runes to gain access to special abilities such as invisibility, longer glide time, teleportation, and more. Additional Talents can be unlocked through character progress while Runes are automatically upgraded during the match. Keep ahead of a slowly encroaching storm that steadily shrinks the battlefield. Keep using your favorite gauntlets to unlock unique cosmetics and extra abilities for that chosen gauntlet. Full cross-play support allows you to play together with your friends regardless of whether you’re playing on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.

Development Background:
Spellbreak is a 3D free-to-play fantasy battle royale game developed and published by Proletariat, a studio founded in 2012 by a team of video game industry veterans from Harmonx, Insomniac, and Turbine.
The developers ran pre-Alpha tests from June 1, 2018 to February 11, 2019. Access to the game was initially granted to players who purchased Founder’s Packs and was initially available exclusively on PC. This was then followed by a Closed Alpha test from February 12, 2019 to October 8, 2019. CBT 1 kicked off a few days later on October 15, 2019 and CBT 2 on March 3, 2020 which was when PlayStation 4 players got to dive into the game. The game officially launched on September 3, 2020.
The studio was bought out by Activision Blizzard on June 29, 2022 and the entire ~100 person team was assigned to bolster the World of Warcraft development team. Spellbreak servers were shut down on January 09, 2023.
