Chunky New Modes and Features for Railbreak! Launch Trailer Live! New Gameplay Stream Tonight!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Dec 13, 2023 at 09:02:02 AM

Hello again Survivors!

Today we're excited to announce a slew of new features for our upcoming arcade on-rails shooter, Railbreak!  As previously mentioned, Railbreak will be launching on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Steam, and Epic Games Store on December 22nd at a price of $19.99 USD worldwide!

If you backed Outbreak: Shades of Horror on Kickstarter at a level of $300 or higher, you will receive a complimentary copy of Railbreak at no extra cost! If you backed at a level of $25 or higher, you will receive a copy of the Railbreak Chunky Morsel Special Demo on Steam prior to launch. More details on these giveaways will be coming soon!

Since we last showed off the game, Railbreak has evolved in several really important ways.  The work on the game has also enhanced the map design and general gameplay for Outbreak: Shades of Horror, as well. Stay tuned for more information on Outbreak: Shades of Horror in the future!

We have FOUR key categories to touch on today!

1. New Elemental Weapons

If you tuned into our last stream, you may know a bit about these already!  The primary and secondary weapons in Railbreak are outfitted with unique elemental effects that can give you an advantage in battle.  Load up enemies with electricity and watch them explode! Stop zombies in their tracks with ice ammo! Melt through the undead with fire! Send the body parts flying with explosive rounds! The new elemental effects drive the action into absolutely chaotic territory, so be sure to take advantage of your arsenal!

2. 'Glitch' Gameplay Modifier System

As you progress through the game, things may become a little dicey when new modifiers dubbed 'Glitches' trigger during a stage.  Some Glitches may lend a helping hand with infinite ammo or a defensive buff, while others may serve as a thorn in your side with enemies gaining additional health or a storm of civilians running out in front of your shots. With a ton of different Glitches to encounter, you'll need to stay on your toes to survive!

3. New Special Boss Zombies

On top of your run-of-the-mill zombies, keep your eyes out for powerful boss monsters! Boom Boom will detonate itself if you're unable to kill it fast enough! The demonic Fetch will blast and blind you with its powerful laser attack!  Things get even hairier when you encounter 'Glitched' versions of these beasts; these enhanced versions of the special infected have are faster, stronger, and tankier! 

4. Three New Bonus Modes

Thought you knew all the ways you'd play Railbreak? Think again! Deal with constantly firing and random Glitch modifiers in Glitch Gauntlet! Face off against all of the game's bosses in a unique scenario in Boss Rush! Face a special challenge that serves to thank our supporters in Shoutout Shootout! With these new modes, you'll never run out of ways to play Railbreak either alone or with a friend in optional two-player coop!

As the December 22nd release date for Railbreak creeps ever closer, we're getting more and more excited for you to see our take on the on-rails arcade shooter genre!  Join us tonight, December 13th on our Twitch channel at 7PM EST for a special stream showing off some of these new features! We'll also be playing through some of the retro games that have inspired Railbreak, so be sure to tune in!  If you hang out with us, you might even win a giveaway!

That's all for today, Survivors! Take care out there as we approach the Holidays, and thank you as always for your continued support!
