REDMOND, WASHINGTON, November 11, 2021— Soaring Pixels has announced they will be delaying the Steam Early Access release of Breakwaters until December 9, 2021.

“We’re thrilled to see how much fun fans are having with single-player and online co-op during our closed beta, and we’re very excited for launch. But, based on some reports where players are running into critical online bugs, we have made the difficult decision to delay until December 9, 2021. Launching this month would not give fans the quality experience they deserve, and this is not what we want for Breakwaters,” said Soaring Pixels owner, Phillip Heckinger.

“This extra time gives us the opportunity to investigate and test networking issues with the community. A bonus result is that it will allow the team time to improve the item-upgrade and mission content, meaning more content will be available at launch.”
What is Breakwaters?

Surrounded by a sea of mysteries and possibilities, one of the first things players will notice in Breakwaters is that water behaves differently here. Powerful crystals are used to displace water and reveal resources to harvest and quests to complete. Different strategies, such as building walls to contain the ocean or block waves, are key to rebuilding and helping the world recover from the constant chaos inflicted by Titans.

Solo or with friends, players explore a procedural world with dangerous ocean depths and nearby islands while battling or avoiding terrifying Titans. Artifacts from a dead civilization beneath the waves, these massive monsters constantly roam the world, causing destruction.

Breakwaters Key Features:

Online co-op and single player.
The largest ocean simulation in a game ever that creates a unique interactive open-world experience.
Defeat Titans as large as an island and fight Golems as big as a house.
Gather crystals and refine them into items that displace and deform the ocean revealing rich resources below.
Build structures that interact with the world-scale ocean simulation; turn a valley into a lake or open the doors and flood the lowlands.
Craft items to suit your play style, whether it be farmer, explorer, or adventurer.
Build and customize your boat to handle Titans, rough weather, and local enemies.
A massive world filled with procedural islands and unique biomes.
Dynamic time of day and weather.

Breakwaters launches into Early Access on Steam on December 9, 2021, and will come to other PC portals and console platforms at a later date (specific platforms still TBD). Be sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist in the meantime!
