Work on our May patch is now almost complete, and we are allowing English players to access the latest changes while the new text (over 10,000 words) is being translated. We have created a new beta branch on Steam - unfortunately GOG and Epic users will not have this option, but as soon as it is possible, we’ll open this up on those platforms too.

We are going to keep updating as we polish and add content, so English users who want to get updates as soon as they are ready should simply stay on the new EnglishUpdates branch.

Keep scrolling to see a list of some of the different improvements we're introducing in the latest patch.

Beta branch: english_updates
Password: EnglishUpdates

How to set up the build:

1 - Select 'Broken Roads' in your Steam library and right click and select properties

2 - A pop-up window will appear. Select 'BETAS' and input the password ‘EnglishUpdates’ .

Make sure you opt-in for the build.

3 - Select the 'english_updates' beta and start playing!

SOME Improvements we've made so far:

We will post the full patch notes as soon as the translations come back and we can go live on Steam, Epic and GOG in all languages. Here are just some of the changes:

We have addressed over 150 bugs and counting.
Added much more companion reactivity in the origin stories.
All origin stories now allow you to access the overworld map and explore the opening areas of the game world.
Added warnings and additional dialogue for the Gut Wound moment in Merredin. If you know, you know.
It is now possible to rebind the keys.
We've added fast mode to be able to run around the maps much faster.
Added additional dialogue, companion interjections and reactions when rescuing Cole from Aldersyde.
Added five new maps for random encounters.
Added new enemy types.
Added two new types of beer.
You can now use punt to improve the % chance of fleeing random encounters. If you fail, you still have to do the random encounter combat but with a major initiative penalty.
Companions and convoy members now have much more to say if you flee combat, and it affects their respect for you.
You can now pet dogs, cats, (some) dingoes, and KOALAS. But not drop bears.
