Discover ruins, destroy Biotic hordes, and descend into the sky’s dangerous depths in this strategic roguelite
[Nova Scotia, Canada – August 5, 2026] — Cloudbreaker, the inventory management bullet heaven developed by Ballast Games, is officially launching on September 15th on Steam! After its successful demo debut in June Steam Next Fest, the two-person team at Ballast Games has been tirelessly implementing user feedback and working toward Cloudbreaker’s launch.
In Cloudbreaker, your ship is your weapon. Your mission? To delve beneath the clouds and secure a Bloil Crystal to ensure Haven’s survival against the Biotes, the lingering biotech experiments of past civilizations.
