Raccoon Logic revealed Breakaway Hockey League at Gamescom, a PC-focused, high-skill 4v4 ice hockey game with five-minute matches and ranked play. Players control a single skater per team rather than an entire lineup, with an emphasis on realistic puck physics, physical checking, dekes and precision shooting to generate highlight moments. The studio designed the arcade-leaning title to fill a perceived gap in PC hockey games and to capitalize on hockey's expanding global audience.
- Breakaway Hockey League is in development for PC and features 4v4 matches that last five minutes, plus ranked play.
- Each player controls one team member on-ice instead of managing the full lineup, prioritizing individual skill and clutch moments.
- Gameplay includes realistic puck physics, physical checking, and skill moves such as dekes and precision corner shooting to create shareable highlight plays.
- Raccoon Logic positions the game to address a perceived shortage of PC-focused hockey titles and to leverage hockey’s growth into new territories.
