Breakaway Hockey League Official Announcement Trailer

Raccoon Logic, the independent studio behind the Savage Planet franchise, has today revealed Breakaway Hockey League, a fast-paced, competitive 4v4 hockey game in development for PC during Future Game Show at Gamescom 2026.

Combining the skill and teamwork of modern multiplayer games with the intensity of hockey and the larger-than-life spectacle. Breakaway Hockey League is designed from the ground up as a competitive team-based experience for PC gamers, with players taking direct control of a single skater throughout five-minute, high-intensity matches built around teamwork, mechanical skill and hockey IQ. Every stride, deke, hit, pass and shot is driven by player input, while dynamic skating, precision shooting, purposeful passing, physical checking and realistic puck physics give players the tools to develop their own style of play.

Every Breakaway Hockey League match is built to produce highlight-reel moments worth sharing; dramatic breakaways, clutch saves, bone-rattling hits, last-second winners, and moments players can’t wait to clip and share. The result is a competitive hockey experience designed to generate dramatic breakaways, clutch saves, massive hits, game-winning goals and plenty of opportunities to chirp the opposition.

“We grew up loving hockey, but when hockey games disappeared from PC, we missed the intensity, teamwork and skill of a great hockey game. We hope Breakaway Hockey League is the game players have been asking for over the last twenty years, and we’re incredibly proud to finally be building it at Raccoon Logic ” said Hugo Agostinho, Head of Marketing and Community and game designer at Raccoon Logic. “Hockey has a unique blend of skill, speed and violence that naturally creates the kind of drama and spectacle that we feel makes a perfect competitive game. We’re aiming to keep the soul of hockey while adding the purity of modern competitive action games.” added Steve Masters, Game Director.

Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director added. “Also, we’re celebrating five years as Raccoon Logic this month (and almost ten years if you count our initial incarnation as Typhoon Studios) so it’s time to celebrate! With that in mind we’re launching a merch store: celebrate your love of Journey to the Savage Planet, your fondness for our studio or your excitement for Breakaway Hockey League with a sweet real world object. It’ll feel like the before times! Fabulous!” (http://shop.raccoonlogic.com/ )

Breakaway Hockey League will be developed openly alongside its community, beginning with frequent Alpha and Beta playtests shaped by direct player feedback and rapid iteration. These pre-release tests will lead towards an eventual Early Access launch, when the wider community will be invited to help shape the game’s continued development, features and future.

Players can sign up now at breakaway.firstlook.gg for the chance to be drafted into future playtests, wishlist and follow Breakaway Hockey League on Steam, and join the Raccoon Logic Discord community. An official gameplay reveal will follow soon.

Six Flags to Move Corporate HQ to Arlington TX in 2027

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, North America’s largest regional amusement-resort operator, today announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Charlotte, N.C., to its current offices in Arlington, Texas in 2027.

The Arlington headquarters will serve as the primary hub for the company’s corporate leadership and shared business functions. Choctaw Stadium has served as a corporate office since 2020 and is currently home to a portion of the company’s corporate workforce. The relocation is expected to be completed by March 2027.

Six Flags’ return to the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex reflects its continued evolution, and positions the company in a central location to more efficiently support its network of 34 amusement and water parks and nine resorts across North America. Arlington’s proximity to the company’s five Texas parks brings leadership closer to many of its operations, while the city’s robust transportation access, dynamic business environment and location within one of the nation’s premier entertainment and tourism districts makes it an ideal home for the company’s headquarters.

“Arlington is an outstanding location for our headquarters and supports our long-term vision for growth,” said John Reilly, president and CEO of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. “Its central location and business-friendly environment make it a strong base for our company. Bringing our corporate teams together in the office will improve collaboration, strengthen our culture, enhance support for our parks and resorts, and help us continue delivering exceptional experiences for guests across North America. We are grateful to the City of Arlington and local leaders for their partnership and support, and we are committed to contributing to the community’s growth and success.”

Arlington also holds a special place in the company’s history as the home of Six Flags Over Texas, which opened in 1961. While the relocation decision is grounded in strategic business considerations, it also reconnects the company with the community where the Six Flags legacy began more than six decades ago.

“Arlington is a vibrant entertainment district where the Six Flags story began. With our office just next door to Six Flags Over Texas, one of our premier parks, we enable our leadership to have a meaningful on-the-ground presence at the park and greater connectivity to all five of our Texas properties,” Reilly said.

Earlier this summer, Six Flags Over Texas celebrated the opening of Tormenta: Rampaging Run, the world’s first giga dive coaster and a record-breaking new attraction that changed the city’s skyline and further reinforces Arlington’s position as a premier entertainment destination. The debut brought together local officials, community partners, tourism leaders and park guests in recognition of the attraction’s economic and cultural significance to the region. The strong support and engagement surrounding Tormenta’s opening reflects the connection between Six Flags and the Arlington community as the Company continues to invest in experiences that drive visitation, tourism, and growth.

Six Flags remains committed to the communities it serves across North America. In the Charlotte region, the company will continue investing in Carowinds and Carolina Harbor, including the park’s highly anticipated new attraction, Rip Roarin’ Falls, scheduled to open in 2027. The company has several other major projects underway across its park footprint for the 2027 season which comprise one of its most ambitious capital attractions lineups in its history. These include:

  • Bakunawa, the world’s tallest and fastest spinning coaster, opening at Six Flags Great Adventure
  • Werewolf Gorge, the world’s longest family launch coaster, debuting at Six Flags Fiesta Texas
  • Camp Timber Trail, an expansive family adventure area anchored by Sky Hawk, the Midwest’s longest, tallest and fastest suspended family coaster, coming to Six Flags Great America
  • Coral Craze and Kelp Kraze, innovative new family raft slides featuring ride systems opening at Knott’s Soak City

“We are deeply grateful to our Charlotte-based and shared services team members whose dedication, passion and expertise have helped shape our company,” Reilly added. “Their contributions have been invaluable, and we are committed to supporting them throughout this transition with respect, transparency and care. Many team members will have the opportunity to relocate to Arlington and continue helping drive our success into the future.”

The company will continue to have an office in Sandusky, Ohio.
