Today, early access to the adventure comedy survival game Breathedge 2 has started on Steam. The project is being developed by the Russian studio RedRuins Softworks and published by HypeTrain Digital. At the time of launch, the game cost 790 rubles, but until September 12, it is being sold with a 20% discount - for 632 rubles. The developers warned that as the content grows, the price will only increase.

The author's tone of addressing potential players emphasizes the openness of the project: "If you enjoy participating in development, searching for missing textures, and influencing the final product, early access is your chance." This position is typical for the early access model, where the community helps refine the mechanics and content.

Popularity and Expectations

By the time Breathedge 2 was released in early access, it had already made it to the wishlist of over 480,000 Steam users, indicating a high interest in the continuation of the original game from 2021. It is expected that over the next few years, the developers will gradually expand the world, add new storylines, and improve mechanics.

The narrative foundation is built around the corporation 'Bresidg', which launched a galactic war using an army of grave-robots. The main character is a man in a spacesuit, accompanied by an artificial intelligence, who accidentally disrupted the corporation's plans and is now forced to evade pursuit from all sides.

Gameplay combines space exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and survival. Players will be able to create various devices from debris, fight hostile robots, and either rescue or avoid the remains of less fortunate astronauts.

The early access features the first story chapter lasting about ten hours, a large location, basic survival, crafting, and upgrade mechanics. The game supports 13 languages, including full Russian and English localization, making it accessible to a wide audience.

The full release of Breathedge 2 is scheduled for 2028. After the release of version 1.0, the developers promise further development: new story episodes, expansion of mechanics, and post-release support, which they say will last at least until 2029.

For the Russian gaming market, the project is of interest as an example of successful international cooperation: a domestic studio is creating a product that has already attracted the attention of the global Steam community, while the publisher HypeTrain Digital ensures distribution and marketing outside of Russia.
