The Feybreak update, available since 5 a.m. GMT on the release date, introduces significant expansions to gameplay. A new faction, the Feybreak Warriors, dominates the island, presenting players with unique challenges, including combat with missile battery camps. New resources such as Chromite and Hexolite Quartz enrich the exploration aspect, requiring players to utilize detection tools for underground mining.

The update raises the player level cap to 60 and introduces a new raid featuring the formidable Xenolord, an AI adversary controlling the Xeno army.

Players can access a wide array of weapons, including makeshift firearms and advanced artillery like the Plasma Cannon and Laser Gatling Gun. Moreover, new buildings have been introduced to facilitate gaming activities, such as the Large-Scale Electric Egg Incubator and the Flea Market, which allows players to sell items and Pals.

The Feybreak update presents a comprehensive overhaul of gameplay mechanics. Players can engage with a Hardcore Mode, which imposes permanent death for characters, adding a layer of difficulty. The introduction of Random Pal Mode allows for a more varied gameplay experience, letting players randomize Pal spawns either regionally or entirely.
Other notable additions include Sphere Modules, which enhance capture rates of Pals, and Elemental Treasure Chests that require specific elemental Pals to unlock. Players can also now benefit from an Area Discovery Bonus, earning experience points for uncovering new locations, which encourages thorough exploration of the expansive Feybreak environment.
