Breach To Blast Its Way Onto The Xbox Live Arcade

Richard Walker

As a developer of simulations for the US military, Atomic Games has a fair bit of experience making shooty things that go bang, so naturally the studio has decided to have a crack at developing a first-person shooter for Xbox Live Arcade.

Officially announced today, Atomic Games' forthcoming FPS Breach, utilises the developer's proprietary Hydrogen Engine, which will enable you to blow holes into interior and exterior walls, floors and presumably heads. You'll also be able to use the destruction mechanic to bring balconies and ceilings toppling down onto your enemies, or you can be a bit more subtle and blow out individual bricks to make a 'shooter hole' (steady).

An 'Active Cover System' will also feature, enabling you to peek around corners, blind-fire and pop in and out, although cover can be eaten away by bullets and destroyed too.

Taking control of CIA Special Activities Division officers, you'll be sent out on black-ops missions like the real-life squad, using their expertise with real-world gadgetry, weapons and other gear at your disposal.

Breach will be smashing through the Xbox Live Arcade walls this Summer.

  • Serouily, why post first, post somthing smart or too the point of the news plz...
  • @vampx, before correcting others, lrn2spellplz.
  • An 'Active Cover System' will also feature, enabling you to peek around corners, blind-fire and pop in and out, although cover can be eaten away by bullets and destroyed too. Like most games these days? But still looks like it'll be worth a look into. Depending on quality vs price. Also will people stop posting First, fair enough if your talking about losing your cherry (Well done it's about time) But no one is impressed.
  • #5, broken keyboard in work, my bad. shame there isnt a edit option...
  • @vampx (again) get back to work then.
  • Sounds awesome!!
  • @1 Lol fail indeed And this game seems interesting, I always love a game with destructible environments.
  • first....now that was a fail :) but this game looks pretty sweet, lets see how much it is
  • Hopefully, this doesn't turn out like Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.
  • sounds good, especially the part about blowing out individual bricks, wish i could do that in Bad Company 2!
  • @1, lol, superfail. Also, interested. but then again, there are enough good games out there for the time being.
  • Check this out on G4TV.com, it doesn't look half bad there. I may actually get it. http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/703482/First-Look-Atomic-Games-Breach.html
  • *12 flashpoint was a great, realistic shooter. being as its an arcade game their making i doubt it will be, ill keep an open mind on this until the screenshots start flying around
  • for 800 or 1200 I'll get this if it looks good. I don't like paying more than that though. Sounds good if the destruction is as good as it sounds. (Sounds good followed by good as it sound is a pretty retarded sentence though)
  • Sounds ok, may get. Still want Six Days in Fallujah to come out, if someone will be brave enough to pick up the publishing rights, without backing down to the silly little "stop the war" girls.
  • i might check this one out.
  • Wow seems pretty big for an arcade game
  • @1st person you failed Ya might try this!
  • This sounds like it might be worth looking into.
  • Thank god... blind fire is FINALLY a part of a game.
  • Man, when I saw "Breach", I was thinking of that movie Breach....got all excited....sexually....lol
  • Wheres DOOM 2? been waiting for ages now for sme lastest news......

  • I just want Toejam & Earl
  • Wow, I assumed Atomic Games closed after that fiasco with that 6 Days in Fallujah game.
  • @1 u twat and u failed XD this sounds good, I want to see more =P
  • @1 u fail at life game sounds kinda cool, will have to check it out
  • Want FREE Microsoft Points From Amazon? Http://www.easyfreebies.110mb.com MW2 Map Packs for FREE :D
  • failed
  • @#331 how is that related to anything? This game acully sound ok...
  • ADMIN ERASE #31 PLEASE, is a SPAM. On topic, I think I'll try this game. I love the battlefield franchise's destructible cover system, and if there's that, improved, with a cover system count me in.
  • Gameplay video? Please?
  • @8 Or you can just leave him alone troll...
  • "You'll also be able to use the destruction mechanic to bring balconies and ceilings toppling down onto your enemies, or you can be a bit more subtle and blow out individual bricks to make a 'shooter hole'." This alone should be the game description. Sounds insane.
  • this looks really good/ the destuction mechanic looks incredible- much better than bfbc2 lame frostbite/ can't believe its xbla/ roll on summer
  • for screens go here :- http://g4tv.com/images/3276/Screenshots---Breach/56438/
  • love the sound of suppressive fire actually being used in a game finally.
  • I always wondered what Bad Co. would be like with a Gears-esque cover system. Now I'll be able find out. Will definately purchase this assuming it's 1,200 or fewer MSP.
  • Might watch this one. Sounds interesting.
  • This interests me.
  • @ 1...... GAY
  • @36.....troll
  • #1, that was an awesome phail.
  • I'm sorry, I mean phial.
  • I played this for a while at PAX and I gotta say it's a really good game for an arcade release. The cover system works well and the destructable environments really have a lot of possibility. For instance, you can shoot out one single brick on a wall and use it to snipe through. It's going to cost 15 bucks. There will also be a map released once a certain amount of damage is done to the ones included.
  • @ everyone: PENIS
  • Interesting stuff. @1 and @2 1, you fail, 2, lmfao.
  • @Myself, fail I realized 1 and 2 are the same person.
  • WOW!
  • HOW long all yall been married? but to ppl that are really readin these hope this helps. i think based off what ive seen that this is gonna be a great game off line. online from what ive seen an read its gonna be worse about campers than cod mw2 is now.But on the flip side it may be more fun to take outta brik or 2 on this one an sit an wait.more like a MARINE SNIPER would do in real life. but we will no soon. an i have heard that the demo will be off line only.any one no if this is true?
