Hero steering a ball through reactive bricks in Schizm
Schizm launched on Steam on August 17.

Schizm launched on Steam on August 17, 2026. The arcade RPG combines directed ball movement with hero abilities across a world whose shattered biomes must be repaired.

Schizm: confirmed details

The campaign contains 100 handcrafted levels across ten biomes, with a boss at the end of each region. Eight heroes provide different abilities, while reactive bricks can freeze, teleport, deflect or bend the ball. Steam also lists achievements, cloud saves, leaderboards and an Endless Mode. The official store listing credits Strombo Games as developer and publisher.

What changed for players

Steering after launch makes the board more active than a traditional brick breaker, while consecutive hits power hero ability tiers. Distinct biome mechanics and bosses give the long level count visible milestones instead of presenting 100 variations of one static arena.

Availability and lasting context

Schizm is listed as a released product rather than an Early Access build. Normal patches may still change performance, balance and interface details after launch. The confirmed release supports Windows and Linux. Store availability and supported languages can vary by account region. Pricing, online availability and later updates should be checked on the live store page rather than treated as permanent facts.

This report separates features released on the stated date from later patches and community expectations. Balance values and platform support can change, but the documented release history remains the same.
