The 3rd Moon Rises in Unbroken: The Awakening — Reality Shatters in the Most Ambitious Update Yet
Prepare to descend deeper into chaos. The brutal jazzpunk world of Unbroken: The Awakening has just become even more twisted with the arrival of the 3rd Moon Content Update, now available on Steam Early Access. Developed by solo powerhouse MGP Studios, this latest expansion pushes the surreal boundaries of the game’s fractured reality, plunging players into a nightmare of unraveling minds, cultic violence, and distorted truth.
If you thought Crests Edge was already mad—this update dares you to go further.
A New Descent: The Madness Mechanic Debuts
At the core of the 3rd Moon update is Madness, a mind-shattering mechanic inspired by MGP’s previous cult hit Neckbreak. As the 3rd Moon rises, players will face a growing internal threat—psychic deterioration through warped memories, emotional trauma, and hallucinatory events.
You can delay the inevitable with temporary crutches—flirtations, safe spaces, or even a gulp of Welson’s Dew—but these are fleeting. Once the 3rd Moon Feast begins, the very fabric of gameplay shifts, reality collapses, and your own perception becomes the final boss. Survive it, or be consumed by it.
Explore a Warped and Expanded Crests Edge
The update opens access to a massive new area, a once-whispered path now twisted and treacherous. This realm is filled with new lore threads, alternate endings, and surreal sequences that deepen the mystery of the Betrothed—a central figure in the world’s madness.
Also featured:
- New Levels & Shortcuts: Routes like Krankenstieg now link major regions, while memory-warped versions of past zones offer nightmare variants.
- New Weapons: Rain chaos with proximity mines and the devastating Lobster grenade launcher.
- New Enemies: Face off against deranged cultists, elite gang factions like the Swans and Slags, and more brutal adversaries in the ever-evolving Steinburg streets.
- New NPCs: Encounter eccentric characters like Gilroy, Steinburg Market’s master craftsman, and Brimley, a mysterious dealer with access to rare valuables in Walltown North.
