Mission: Rock Breaker

Unread postby icycalm » 23 Feb 2026 18:53

The Rock Breaker stations and mission were originally unveiled during CitCon (called Rock Cracker at the time). I've timestamped the segment.

Expected in late March, and they look like a fantastic addition to Nyx. I am not super-thrilled about the endgame mining activity (you fly into the rock to mine), but bringing the station online looks like another banger of an FPS level, and we're definitely putting on a big session for it the first Saturday after release. They've put a lot of time in this so I expect it to be at least as good as the Onyx facility. Plus it's in space so dogfights, multiple entry points and EVA should also be on the table, which weren't in Dark Territory.

I've collected all preview images I could find from various sources. Let me know if I've missed anything.

The next three are from weekly Sneak Peeks (so no links to give), so they're not confirmed to be from Rock Breaker. Pretty certain that's where they're from though. The second seems to be the laser's focusing lenses.

Again, not confirmed the below is from Rock Breaker, but I am pretty confident it is. Looks great, very unique environment.

Sneak Peek: Let's get to work

This week's Sneak Peek titled "Let's get to work." Almost certainly from Rock Breaker. Looks like the place where you place the laser's focusing lenses.

They seem confident it will be ready for 4.7, and since Clearing the Air ends March 17, we should be playing it the weekend of 21-22, or 28-29 at the latest.

The ASD facility, as long as he means Onyx (because there are also others), and I am sure that's what he means, is the largest and coolest mission location in the game, so if he's not exaggerating and this is even better, it will be incredible especially since it's in Nyx and it could use the content.

Interesting also that Onyx also has a kind of "train" ride with shooting right outside Site B (the conveyor thingie), so if they jacked it up to a full train ride it means they really are swinging for the fences.

From the urgency of their testing chat updates it does seem that we should have it well before the month is over. That will be a fun Saturday.
