Hey folks!
Welcome to day 2 of the Spellbreak Prologue reveals! Today, I’m going to be sharing a little more information on Spellbreak’s Chapter system.
Chapters are how we’re going to deliver on-going content to the world of Spellbreak. More than just a simple “Battle Pass,” Chapters combine new quest content with an evolving story, delivered every week, along with a series of long-term rewards. Our goal is to release a new chapter every 12 weeks or so, interwoven with more traditional patches with gameplay, bug fixes, and new features. By tightly coupling the story to the quests and gameplay, we’re able to create something more enjoyable and engaging than if they’re left separate.
Each new Chapter comes with a series of rewards that can be unlocked by increasing your Reputation. As you complete daily quests as well as the honor quests that are part of the Chapter, you earn large amounts of Reputation. You can also earn Reputation just by playing the game and earning regular XP which will flow into your Reputation as well. As your Reputation increases, you’ll unlock rewards, including gold and chapter-exclusive cosmetics.
With each new day, you’ll want to complete your daily quests and with each new week, the Chapter will not only progress the story, but bring with it new quests with outsized Reputation rewards. We want to reward you not only for winning, but for completing quests as well, giving you short, medium, and long-term goals to achieve. (As a side note, we’ll be revisiting daily quests in the next Chapter and boosting their relevancy and rewards…)
Let’s take a look at the Chapter UI!
In the top right, you can see your Reputation level and how much Reputation you’ll need to progress to the next level. On the left, you can see the rewards that you’ll earn. Finally in the bottom right, you can navigate to the week’s current story.
In the Prologue, you’ll make further acquaintance with Avira Emberdane as she introduces you to the Order of the Vowbreakers and the Hollow Lands. Prove yourself to her and she'll entrust you with the Order's highest priority missions!
The Prologue Chapter we’re releasing next week can be thought of as a shorter introduction to the Chapter system and what we’re hoping to accomplish with it. Starting with Chapter 1, chapters will have twice as many quests, levels, and rewards.
Finally, as a celebration of this being our first Chapter, we’re making the Prologue Chapter and all of its rewards (if you manage to earn them) completely free!
Stay tuned tomorrow when we’ll show off something spoooooky!
