The Hollow Lands still beckon, Breaker.

Spellbreak's servers went dark in 2023. We switched them back on, accounts and matchmaking included. Grab a free account, download the launcher, and you're back in the Hollow Lands tonight. No purchase, no storefront.

Keeping Spellbreak alive, and growing

Thank you for playing, and for being part of the wonderful, passionate community that let us bring Spellbreak back to life.

Our mission is simple: keep Spellbreak alive and growing. We're a group of volunteers who rebuilt the game's online services, so you can register an account, queue up, party with friends, and battle across the Hollow Lands once more. Play it exactly as it was before its sunset, or with the new balance and features we're building as the game grows.

Enjoy this next chapter of Spellbreak, and best of luck out there. The Hollow Lands still beckon, Breaker.

Your friends at Elemental Fracture,
Cap'n Happy & Doobs

How it plays

Two gauntlets. Six elements. Endless combinations.

Strap a gauntlet to each arm and duel with fire, frost, lightning, wind, stone and toxic gas. The magic is in the mix: set a poison cloud ablaze, arc lightning through a frozen floor, ride a tornado above the fight. No guns and no recoil, just spells, sorceries, and movement.

Elements colliding mid-fight in the Hollow Lands

Chain the elements

Every element answers to another. Ignite a toxic cloud, conduct lightning through it, freeze the ground out from under someone. Landing the reaction beats landing the shot. This is chemistry, not recoil.

Battlemages in flight over the Hollow Lands

Take to the sky

Runes hand you flight, blinks, dashes and invisibility. Fights unfold in three dimensions, and the ground is only ever a suggestion. Master the air and you will barely touch down.

A squad contesting an objective in Dominion

Solo, duo or squad

Drop into battle royale across the Hollow Lands as the storm closes in, or jump into Dominion, the arena playlists, and the custom lobbies the community keeps in rotation. There is always a match forming.

Six classes, six elements
PyromancerFire. Fireballs and flamewalls that set the field ablaze, and ignite toxic clouds for devastating chain damage.
FrostbornFrost. Ice lances and flash-freeze that lock enemies in place, then shatter them where they stand.
ToxicologistToxic. Noxious clouds that choke the field and poison anyone caught inside, primed to be set off.
ConduitLightning. Bolts and chain lightning that leap between foes and conduct through water, gas and frost.
TempestAir. Gusts and tornadoes that fling enemies off their feet and scatter elemental clouds across the map.
StoneshaperEarth. Boulders and shockwaves that raise cover, control space, and crush anyone caught in the open.
Download

Get the launcher. It handles the rest.

Register a free account, install the launcher, and it pulls the client, applies the community patch, and keeps you patched from then on. Still got the old Steam or Epic copy lying around? Uninstall it first, since the launcher likes a clean slate.

01

Make your account

Sign up with an email and password, here on the site or right in the launcher, and confirm the one-time code we email you. Prefer Discord? Link it to your account afterwards from the Account tab to carry your community roles across.

Where everyone is

Matches get organised in Discord

Server status, scrims, patch notes, and a hand when an install goes sideways. It all lives in one place. Show up, say hi, and you'll be pulled into a squad before long.

Who pays for this

Donations keep the servers on

Nobody here is paid. Every contribution goes straight to game servers, the patch CDN, and this site, the real cost of keeping the lights on. Chip in and you'll pick up a few cosmetic perks for your trouble.

The questions everyone asks

Still stuck? Ask in #support, and someone is usually awake.

No. The game was delisted, so there is nothing left to buy. Register a free account and the launcher provides everything else you need.

Yes, and it is free. Register in seconds with an email and password, either on this site or straight from the launcher: no Discord required. Prefer Discord? Link it to your account afterwards to carry your roles and profile picture across the community.

Free, and open about what it does. The launcher is built in the open on GitHub. Windows will flag it as an unknown publisher because a volunteer project cannot afford code signing, not because anything is wrong with it.

Yes. There is a native Linux AppImage, and plenty of players run the Windows build through Proton. Consoles are out of reach, since their online services were shut down with the game.

Yes. Matchmaking is up and running, and the community also organises regular lobbies and events. Check the Discord for what is happening tonight and you will be in a squad within minutes.

We ship our own balance patches, and you are welcome to suggest changes in the Discord. Please do not stack third-party mods on top, though, as they conflict with our servers and make for an unplayable experience.

We operate as a preservation project under fair-use principles, take no payment for our work, and are not affiliated with the original developers. The full position is in the footer below.
