Snowbreak: Containment Zone is marking its second birthday with a massive content drop called Concord Ode, running from July 10 to August 21. This update brings new looks for fan-favorite operators Katya and Tess, plus fresh outfits, gameplay tweaks, a new base area, and some cool events to dive into.

What Makes Snowbreak Stand Out

Snowbreak: Containment Zone is the only third-person anime shooter out there right now with super detailed female characters. Its slick art style, sharp character designs, and focus on deep gameplay have carved out a solid fanbase. Over the last year, the game’s been steadily adding new characters and alternate exosuits while keeping updates regular and approachable, which keeps players coming back.

A Big Win for New and Returning Players

The Concord Ode update is super welcoming for both newbies and folks jumping back in. Just log in during the event, and you’ll snag Tess - Phantasia for free—no cash needed, which is a great deal for anyone starting out. You can also grab free orange-tier selectors for operatives and weapons, a feature that started in the Azure Paradise update but now feels like a natural part of the event. There’s a bunch of login rewards, outfits, and materials too, and they’re more generous this time, letting you build a solid roster without spending a dime. Plus, you can max out Operative Manifestations just by playing daily.

Three redeem codes are up for grabs, good through August 21:

  • LOVEKATYA
  • MAGICTESS
  • PURELOVE

These codes hook you up with 600 DigiCash, 15 upgrade materials, 15 enhancement items, over 15,000 SilverBuck, and extras like Opal Vouchers and Augmentation Kits to speed up early progress and gear upgrades.

Meet Katya and Tess

This update drops the game’s first Gatling gun, a new weapon type that packs serious firepower and crowd control. It comes with Katya - Rhapsody, who mixes that heavy damage with surprising speed, opening up aggressive playstyles for players who like to push hard. Katya’s design fits the update’s style—bright, lively, and full of personality.

You can also unlock the new 5-star operative Tess - Phantasia just by logging in on July 24. She’s a Frost-type support who uses an assault rifle to boost allies’ Frost damage. Her skills get stronger with more shots fired, making her a great fit for teams with fast-attacking DPS characters. She also comes with her own logistics squad.

New Cozy Parlor and Quality-of-Life Features

Outside of battles, the Cozy Parlor is a new hub in the Base system where you can mix drinks, put on shows, and hang out with your squad in a chill way. The devs plan to keep adding more interactive spots like this down the line.

Snowbreak also throws in handy features like auto-aim for mobile, auto-clear, and quick upgrades, so you can knock out daily tasks in under three minutes.</ feraldiv>

New Outfits

Concord Ode rolls out a bunch of new operative outfits. Katya - Rhapsody’s Starlove Vow is a fancy gem-covered gown in the shop, paired with the Covenant of Starlove, a nighttime amusement park scene with a Ferris wheel moment. Tess - Phantasia’s Blossom for You has soft pinks and floral touches, tied to the Covenant of Blossom, a sunny theme park scene with a magic show and a cute chibi transformation. Enya’s Intimate Maid and Bubu’s Fizzy Revelry go for fun, playful looks, available in limited-time shop bundles. Marian - Riptide’s Fashion Dilemma brings a cozy pajama vibe through the Verity Pass, while Fritia - Little Sunshine’s Fiery Burst comes free with login rewards.

All outfits are available from July 10 to August 21, with some bundles including matching weapon skins and scenes.

Game Modes Add Depth and Variety

Concord Ode tosses in some new gameplay modes. Garden Mayhem is a laid-back, PvZ-style tower defense mode, while Star Master lets you build up a region for progression rewards. Goldrush Party brings back a Monopoly-like mini-game, and Bluff or Blush is a card game inspired by Liar’s Bar where you bluff or call out bluffs, with random effects mixing things up. These modes give you fresh ways to play and score event rewards.

Looking Ahead

The devs are planning some big changes starting this fall. Every update will include two new operatives, with one free and enough resources to upgrade them, like how Nita - Pulse was handled before. This update shows off the team’s improved ability to pump out content while keeping things fair and accessible.

These changes build on community feedback, with better resource drops, clearer balancing, and a more consistent event schedule.

Now’s the Time to Jump In

Snowbreak isn’t a brand-new game, but Concord Ode shakes things up in a great way. With new rewards, operators, and ways to play, there’s never been a better time to check it out. If you’ve been curious or thinking about coming back, this update’s a solid reason to give it a shot. Grab Snowbreak: Containment Zone on the official website, Steam, iOS, or Android.
