ANVIL is coming to Nintendo Switch, and you can win one at Tokyo Game Show!Sep 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsWe're here at Tokyo Game Show (TGS) and we're excited to announce that ANVIL will be arriving to the Nintendo Switch! We're celebrating this, and a number of other special events this year at TGS. If you're coming to the show, visit us at booth 03-N09, and play with us. You could win a Nintendo Switch just for playing! You can experience both the PC version and the Nintendo Switch™ version, which is being shown for the first time. More details at our booth. Hope to see you there! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39251366/1bad6d12fd1919bcd91ed7a027d805ed913e2b20.jpg9/19 Update InformationSep 18, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThe following changes have been made in the 2.4.0.1 update, released 9/19. 1. Addition of Ethereal Weapons Three types of ethereal weapons have been added: Jet Axe, Missile Cannon, and Laser Rifle. Ethereal Weapons cannot be duplicated, but if you are lucky enough to obtain one during exploration, you'll find them to be quite powerful. Stay on the lookout during your exploration. If you find one, you'll be able to overwhelm your enemies. 2. Addition of Ethereal Relics A new relic, "Cannonball Launcher," has been added, which can afflict enemies with shock. The newly added "Cannonball Launcher" is a relic that fires an energy sphere that applies the shock effect to enemies every two seconds. Ethereal relics cannot be duplicated. 3. Event In celebration of our participation in TGS, we've made a few changes to Galaxy Mode for a limited time. Through the end of the current season, environments and bosses that appear in Czerny, Symphonia, and Campanella will be randomized, rather than fixed to those respective galaxy campaigns. In addition, during the event period, VP and in-game item drop rates will be doubled, so don't miss out! 4. Bug Fixes and Improvements Removed recovery limiting effects from Explosive type weapons. Fixed a problem in PvP where the score is reduced when a player leaves the game in the middle of a match.Photo Campaign ResultsSep 8, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThank you again for participating in the photo hunt.

Thank you! https://forms.gle/6zPuygNwzRsq5NJe8Get Your Chance at Getting a Golden Skin!Aug 24, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFor those wanting to unlock one of the breaker's "The Golden Skin," worry not! We're extending the submission deadline of our photo campaign by one week. Why?

For those that missed it.... What are you talking about? Right now we're holding an event on our Discord server. If at least 50 people participate, we'll unlock one breaker's "The Golden" skin for everyone. How does it work? Join our Discord and submit screenshots from your gameplay in the designated channel (#photo-campaign), based on our chosen theme. What's your chosen theme? Wanting to start things off with a bang, the theme we're going with this time is "Explosions". (take a look at the #photo-campaign on the discord, you'll see what we're talking about) How do we get the new skin? If 50 players submit a photo in the discord channel #photo-campaign by 9/1 at 1am (UTC), everyone will get the skin! Anything else we should know? Yes...a few things: - If you haven't already, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/AvxZVA65XB - Observe the rules of the Discord server, they're available in #rules. - Make sure to post your submission in #photo-campaign, that's where we're counting the submissions.Version 2.3.0.1 Patch NotesAug 17, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThe following updates and bug fixes have been addressed. ◆User Environment Improvements Fixed an issue where the volume was unexpectedly high for some sound effects. ◆Bug Fixes Fixed a problem that prevented the game from starting on Widows 11. Fixed a problem where Tier4 drop weapon effects were not displayed. Fixed a problem where missiles exploded immediately after firing a missile launcher and activating the "guard" skill. Thank you for your continued support of ANVIL.Version 2.2.0.0 Patch NotesAug 2, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsThe following updates and bug fixes are addressed in this patch. ◆Updates 1. Season Challenge Improvements Improved discovery of Relic Boxes from the Season Challenge lobby map. All relics now appear in the Season Challenge and can be duplicated. We have increased the rewards that can be obtained at the start of the Season Challenge and slightly reduced the rewards that can be obtained later. 2. Relics Increased damage for explosion, ion, and plasma relics. Critical hit damage from Critical Boxes has been reduced. Upgraded the Counter Defender We have enhanced offensive capabilities while also increasing HP, making it a fundamental component in survival setups. 3. Matchmaking Improvements We've improved random matchmaking so that you'll be taken directly to the matchmaking lobby when you're matched with 2 or more players. Even if you are matched with 2 players and go to the matching lobby, you may be matched with 1 additional player before you start. Multiplayer difficulty now automatically adjusts to the number of players in the game. 4. Breaker Balance Adjustments Jungler > Nerfed damage Bronte > Nerfed the cooldown for and changed its buff effects. *Before: Increase skill power by 50% for 5 seconds on use (triggers every 3 seconds) *After: cooldown reduced by 20% > buff changes *Before: duration extended by 50%, pull-in strength increased by 100%, and when activated, increases damage by 50% against shocked enemies for 10 seconds. *After: duration extended by 50%, pull-in strength increased by 100%. *Before: Using increases skill power by 100% for 5 seconds. Disables all status effects. *After: increases damage against shocked enemies by 50% for 10 seconds, and immunity to all status effects. 5. Weapons Damage and passive effects nerfs to the Missile Launcher Critical damage adjusted from 100% to 50% 6. Other Improvement so that 1~2 tier weapons have a 50% chance of dropping when defeating a boss in all galaxies and Season Challenges. Increased the drop rate to earn more SP. Added function to adjust the volume of the operator's voice in the settings. Added the ability to change the language of the operator's voice. Adjusted the duration of the Toy Worker's buff to be shorter. ◆Bug Fixes Fixed a problem where Rush could not deal damage with radiation weapons after using the skill. Fixed a problem where survival skills were included in the ability to reset all skill cooldowns. Fixed a problem where the detailed information icon of the relic was displayed in white. If the corresponding icon is not displayed, it will be displayed normally after resetting your shortcut settings and reapplying the relic. We plan to continue improving ANVIL and add operators in various languages. Please look forward to the addition of operators. Thank you for your continued support of ANVILRelease Improvements: Extra Details and Gift CodeJul 31, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFirstly, we extend our sincerest apologies for any inconveniences caused by the recent achievement reset coinciding with ANVIL's official release. As a token of our appreciation for your patience, we're issuing an SP10 coupon. To redeem, enter "GIFTANVILSP10" in the coupon code menu. Here's additional information about the latest changes to the game, and more: Achievement Reset To align with the changes in the galaxy's structure, we have revamped the achievements. Regrettably, this led to the number of achievements being reset. However, moving forward, we assure you that such resets won't occur. 'Vault Hammer' & 'Jet Axe' Due to an error in their stat implementation, the 'Vault Hammer' and 'Jet Axe', originally intended as 'legendary' weapons, were mistakenly absent from the weapon crafting list. To preserve game balance, we temporarily removed them, but rest assured, they will return as intended in the next update. Multiplayer Matchmaking We're dedicated to enhancing your gaming experience. As such, we're working on improving the matchmaking system for quicker and better co-op. Until then, if you face issues with Random Matching, use the code "222222" in the Code Matching lobby to improve connection. Gold Skin Get ready for a shiny surprise! We'll be giving all breakers an additional gold skin at an upcoming event. Stay tuned for the event date. Relic Detail Icon Color We've noticed the relic icon sometimes appears in white within the detailed information section. As a quick fix, reset your shortcut settings and reapply the relic. Upcoming Update Look out for our next update, coming August 3, details to follow. Once again, we apologize for the achievement reset issue. We appreciate your understanding and remain committed to improving ANVIL based on your feedback. Thank you for your continued support.Version 2.1.0.0 Patch NotesJul 27, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Breakers, First off, you probably noticed the version number is 2.1.0.0. Well, that's because the official release was actually 2.0. (Sorry, some stuff got lost in translation ^^; ) So moving forward, builds will increase from this number. That said, it’s been only half a day since release, but we have some fixes already! We continue to appreciate everyone for your support in helping to bring these bugs to our attention, as we continue to iron them out. Bug Fixes Fixed an audio-related crash issue. Fixed a problem where if the game is forcibly terminated during the timer after PvP matching, the opposing player becomes unable to progress the game. Fixed an issue where the difficulty selection screen is repeated when matchmaking is conducted in a Season Challenge. Decreased the reload time of the Venom Rifle. Decreased the duration of the Lightning's "Homing Laser" skill by 50% and doubled its power. *The above effects also apply to lasers added by the skill enhancement effect. Decreased the damage of Draken's Hack and Slash. Volume adjustment of some SE sounds that were too loud Fixed a problem where the wrong skill sound was applied in some parts of Valkyrie's skills. Fixed a problem where rankings were not being recorded in multiplayer. We're also aware of the following bugs, which we’re working on. Issue where Rush can't deal damage with radiant-type weapons after using the "Sand Beam" skill. In addition to the above, we’ve optimized PvP to play more smoothly.

Thank you for all the support during that time. To meet players’ expectations, we tried our best to go on 1.0 release, but development is taking much longer than anticipated. The game needs more polishing, content, and many other things to become a great game. As such, the 1.0 release date will be postponed. Instead of 1.0 release, we will have the Season 3 update, which we will share more about in the next few days. We apologize to everyone who has been waiting for the 1.0 launch, and we appreciate your understanding. Thank you
