Breakout Beyond gets release date and new trailer from Atari

Atari and Choice Provisions have now shared the release date for Breakout Beyond. The game, a new take on the brick-breaking classic from the developer of Bit.Trip, lands on Nintendo Switch on March 25, 2025.

This is a pretty quick turnaround from announcement to launch. Atari just announced Breakout Beyond less than a month ago, and now we know that it’s only a few weeks out.

Everything you need to know can be found in the following overview:

In this neon-drenched reimagining of the 1976 arcade classic, players smash their way through each puzzle by clearing bricks to reach the ultimate goal. However, the script has been flipped—literally! Players now progress sideways, breaking through barriers and building up combos that ramp up the intensity of the effects, rewarding the most skilled players with a dazzling light show. Special blocks grant powerful boosts, such as explosive brick-clearing blasts, protective barriers, and a laser cannon to carve a path forward – each unleashing stunning, dynamic effects that elevate Breakout’s visuals to a whole new level.

With 72 challenging levels, players will put their brick-busting skills to the test—but they don’t have to go it alone. They can team up with a friend in local two-player co-op for double the action or use the new focus mode, which slows down time, trading high scores for enhanced precision.

Key Features

• Unlockable endless mode with an online global leaderboard
• 72 challenging levels that will put players’ brick-breaking skills to the test
• Two-player co-op to manage (or ramp up) the chaos with a friend
• Procedural audio and visual effects that increase in intensity with each combo
