Seoul, South Korea – Mar. 31, 2022 – Top-down co-op sci-fi roguelike shooter ANVIL: Vault Breakers is kicking off Season 1 on Mar. 31. This is the first major season update since ANVIL launched early access on Steam and Game Preview / GamePass on Xbox on December last year. This update brings many new features to the game including new game mode, Breaker, bosses, relics, season pass and more.
The highlight of the Season 1 update is the newly launched Season Challenge mode. While players could only venture to three different galaxies during the preseason, this mode gives players much more freedom in play. After clearing each planet, players can choose the next planet to go to and can upgrade their power in between. The more difficult the planet they explore, the more reward players will receive including a season exclusive relic.
Tons of new relics and skins have been added as well as a new season pass which players can redeem rewards with.
“We are excited to see how the players will approach this new season and what build, meta will develop,” said Wonho Son, head producer of ANVIL. “We’ll continue to add more content and try to give what the players ask for.”
South Korean developers of Action Square have been open to player feedback ever since their launch in Dec. The developers added many convenient features for the new season that players were hoping for. New features in the Season challenge mode include the ability to upgrade relics, sell relics, choose starting weapons and change effects on weapons.
Furthermore, the developers were able to complete the new Breaker Quake by applying feedback from the community who were able to play him for free in February.
Back in January, Action Square announced the roadmap for the Early Access period leading up to full release in December. They announced that players will be able to keep the relics from the previous season and had updates in Jan. and Feb. to address the steep difficulty increase between the available maps. With a new season every 3 months and PVP mode among many cool updates coming down the road, this first season update that brings Season Challenge mode is a promising start.
Players can purchase ANVIL: Vault Breakers on Steam and Xbox today for $24.99 or play through the Xbox GamePass.
