Broken Edge

Broken Edge launched on November 17, 2022 as a VR sword-fighting game and has received a steady stream of free content updates since then. In the first year, the developer shipped new fighters and arenas on roughly a quarterly cadence: the Persian fighter (December 2022), the Viking (February 2023), the Pirate (May 2023), and the Ronin (September 2023). The August 2023 developer post explicitly committed to "more to come" beyond the Ronin, and the game's short description on the store still reads "5 other fighters (and more to come!)" — indicating the developer views the roster as ongoing. The most significant structural change came on September 30, 2025, when the developer launched the "Way of the Dragon Battlepass" — a monetized system with free and premium tiers, timed 40-day progression cycles, and rotating cosmetic rewards. This is a live-service content model by design: it is built around recurring seasonal content rather than a finite release plan. The developer has remained active, with feature patches in early 2024 and the most recent news post on May 28, 2026 announcing a new game from the same studio (Compass). That post is about a separate title and does not speak to Broken Edge's future, but it confirms the studio is still operational and communicating. The battle pass structure means this game is designed to keep delivering new cosmetic content on a rolling basis indefinitely, which is the defining characteristic of a live-service game.
