Breach is the upcoming eighth studio album by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots, scheduled to be released on September 12, 2025, through Fueled by Ramen. It is a follow-up to the duo's previous studio album Clancy (2024), and is intended to conclude a conceptual series also consisting of Blurryface (2015), Trench (2018), and Scaled and Icy (2021).

Background and promotion

On May 21, 2025, nearly a year since the release of their previous studio album Clancy (2024), Twenty One Pilots announced a follow-up titled Breach.[1][2] The announcement followed a series of cryptic clues and Easter eggs shared across social media and during the final shows of the Clancy World Tour. Among these Easter eggs were several bits of morse code scattered throughout the final letters of the Fan Premiere Exhibits.[3]

Breach is set to continue the narrative arcs established in their previous works, particularly Blurryface (2015), Trench (2018), Scaled and Icy (2021), and Clancy.[4] The duo stated that the album would serve as the final installment in their decade-long "lore" first established in Blurryface, alluding to "Paladin Strait"—the closing track of Clancy—whose music video had acted as a cliffhanger.[5][6] Tyler Joseph previously teased the record in an interview, stating they were entering a "gap of nothingness" he could only describe as "not nothing".[7]

The artwork depicts the duo dressed in mostly black attire, similar to the cover art of Clancy, further supporting the idea of a continued narrative.[8] In announcing the album, Twenty One Pilots revealed that the lead single, "The Contract", would be released on June 12, 2025.[9] Following the announcement, the first pressings of Breach on vinyl and CD became available for preorder.[10] The album is scheduled to be released on September 12.[11] On July 15, the album's track listing was revealed.[12]
