Game overview

A world that remembers what you did

Breakdown 25 is an open world experience built around consequences. Every trade, every mission, every shipment — legal or not — pushes the city toward a new balance.

Open World

Freedom with consequences

Explore a dense urban map with no central mission hub — the world itself reacts to your decisions, successes and failures.

Dual Path

Legal or illegal — or both

Build a clean corporate empire or bankroll an underworld network through your businesses.

Player Influence

Every action shifts the economy

Stock values, rival companies, gang presence and mission availability all shift dynamically.

Varied Missions

Strategy meets action

Secure shipments, manage staff, defend facilities, or solve PR disasters — every company plays differently.

Legal economy

18 companies. Endless possibilities.

Breakdown 25 launches with 18 fully simulated companies. Invest through the market or acquire full ownership. Each company is a living system.

  • Track live market movements.
  • Purchase majority control for management access.
  • Unlock missions tied to company health and logistics.
  • Optimize risk and reward based on city conditions.
Management Gameplay

Your decisions shape the skyline

Owning a company opens deep management gameplay, each introducing unique mission chains.

  • Stock missions: adjust share price through targeted actions.
  • Employee management: morale, retention and key staff protection.
  • Logistics: solve supply chain bottlenecks.
  • Facilities: defend or upgrade production centers.

Illegal path

Build an empire underground

Narcotics, smuggling and weapon trafficking connect directly to the same economy as legal companies.

Underworld
Narcotics, smuggling & more

Develop production chains, secure distribution routes and defend territory from rivals and law enforcement.

High Risk · High Reward

Legal business or criminal empire?

Blend legal logistics with illegal operations to maximize profit — or go all-in on crime.

  • Smuggle cargo through legitimate supply routes.
  • Launder illegal profits through your companies.
  • Trigger high-stakes missions when authorities catch on.
  • Watch the city evolve around your empire.
