A Steam page has opened for upcoming Hololive fan-made beat-em-up Holo X Break, from Holocure developer Kay Yu. The game will also launch under the Holo Indie label, though there is currently no release date.
The development of Holo X Break was announced earlier this month with a trailer featuring the voices of several Hololive Vtubers starring in the game. Despite the Holo Indie label allowing fan game developers to monetize their work, the Steam page confirms that the game will be free and also include up to 4 player local and online multiplayer.
Developer Kay Yu also took to Twitter to explain why Holo X Break will appear under the official label while Holocure did not. The answer involves the difficulty of changing workflows to accommodate the involvement of Cover Corp. staff. You can find the announcement tweet below:
Cover Corp. outlined guidelines for the Holo Indie label back in November 2023, allowing the developers of Hololive fan games to monetize their work. One of the first games to debut under the label was HoloParade, a side-scrolling tower-defense game featuring Hololive talents and mascots.
Holo X Break will launch on Steam but currently does not have a release date.
