About the game
The Breach: Hellcore is an expansion for The Breach that introduces new challenges and content within the Gene.sys database. Hackers must face new threats, including Baal, a massive new Guardian, and the Spriggan I.C.E., while the new Avatar Agorix provides additional possibilities for approaching the database. The expansion integrates with the core gameplay of The Breach, in which players control Avatars and explore the Gene.sys database, confronting I.C.E. and Guardians while pursuing their objectives. The new elements introduced by Hellcore expand the challenges and tactical options available during play. Alongside competitive and cooperative gameplay, Hellcore will introduce a brand-new mode for The Breach: Story Mode. —description from the publisher

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for The Breach: Hellcore is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The Breach: Hellcore for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
